By: ClutchLikeMelo // February 8, 2011

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:

Will i get banned if i upgrade?

New cfw soon enough, no rush what are we missing anyway

Confirmed.

NO you willnot only if u hacked black ops but u only get banned in black ops,,,, u just will lose everything..

Video :y: .

What will happen if you update?

luckily im still signed in on 3.55 i just hope it doesnt sign me out lol

If you update directly from CFW there is a chance that you could be banned but I am not sure. However if you were to downgrade to OFW 3.55, wipe your app. history with the few homebrew apps that allow you to do it and then format your hard drive you should be fine. I am not 100% about that but thats about as secure as you probably could get!
