After a few weeks of being able to bypass the 3.56 firmware update, Sony has finally patched it. Both the DNS method AND proxy method do NOT work anymore.
The reason it took so long for them to patch it could possibly be because they wanted to patch EVERY method, not just the DNS.
So now your left with two options. Upgrade to 3.56 and be able to connect, or wait to see what comes out of this and keep your jailbreak. You must login or register to view this content.
If you do choose to update then follow this quick tutorial first :y:.
Go on FTP server
1. Go to /dev_hdd0 now open the home folder (You should be in /dev_hdd0/home now)
2. Now there should be folders with several zeros and a number at the end. You have to find your account.
3. Find what folder is the psn you on by right clicking on the localusername file in each folder and clicking view/edoit until you see the user that matches your USER name. (NOTE: that the user and PSN account name are different)
4. Once you have found the right user open the folder called etc
5. Now delete the boot_history.dat file
6. Now go to -/dev_hdd0/vsh/pushlist/
7. Delete game.dat and patch.dat
Now once you've erased all previous history delete all homebrew pkgs/apps off your ps3. Now download the official firmware from You must login or register to view this content..
Plug your usb into your computer and make a folder on the root called PS3 then inside that folder make another folder named UPDATE, now finally move the 3.55 OFW download into the UPDATE folder.
Next your going to plug your usb into your PS3 and do a system update via storage media. (If you have the old DNS bypass on go to your internet settings on ps3 and change DNS to automatic.) Once your on 3.55 OFW go ahead and update to 3.56 :y:
i was trying to upgrade to the 3.56 and i found a way to host a cl on 3.56 lol
if you guys admins os the forum want to know how i did it just PM and i will make a tut for you post here take care peace
Same I'll just wait for 3.56 CFW, in the meantime I'll play on my other PS3 which I dont hack at all, I have one PS3, JB'd, 3.55 CFW, Homebrew, and shit and I do all my shit there, on my other ps3, i play reg. games, nothing on it except OFW and shit
You can not get banned from the PS3 network from updating on any circumstances, the only thing that you can get banned from is playing online Black Ops but I hear that can be bypassed. YOU WILL ONLY GET BANNED IF YOU HACKED BLACK OPS!
Otherwise you are perfectly fine.
I chose not to update because when the 3.56 CFW comes out I wanna use it. LOL.
People often get bricked though(legal because they were on CFW) and Sony can ban you in future, because they'd know from the rootkit in 3.56 that you've jailbroken your system.

because the modded patch is still there even after 3.56... but after the 1.12 mw2 update it will be gone good luck.

No. F*ck off with your .exe viruses you pussy.
Bricks aren't bans though, and yeah maybe it all depends on what you used it for.
