You talkin to me?
This will work, but I don't know whether or not we can use a 3.41 flash and just change etc/vsh/version.txt?
The issue is though, how do we get a /dev_flash/ copy from 3.42, we can't jailbreak... :-( This rules out the first option. So our only option is to try to change etc/vsh/version.txt.
I think many people will try this!
UPDATE: Some devices such as HTC Touch Hero now have PSGroove v1.1 ported with syscalls PEEK and POKE...
Please note: You cannot use PSFreedom, PSJailbreak, or any other clone, you need the PEEK and POKE syscalls which is only in PSGroove v1.1...

I have been thinking that perhaps we can modify the updater that installs the firmware (while running on usb with the cfw loader)
so that rather then rebooting and installing to dev_flash -- it simply "installs" to dev_usb001/new_Flash or something to that effect.
I haven't had a chance to go through everything to see if thats possible -- but that would maybe allow us to extract newer versions of the firmware through the jailbroken consoles.

We do hacks/upload patch_mp.ff to our MW2 patch... Then run FW Loader with actual 3.42 firmware on USB, and play online with modded patch (HDD is untouched!)...

I have developed a way to get online, and no, it has nothing to do with the DNS trick. I'm afraid to share my way to bypass updating to 3.42 because if Sony finds out this method, it will easily be patched. So, I think I'm going to keep it quiet for now until I feel like the community needs a leg to stand on. It is simply just a trick with firmware file manipulating.

Just to let you know it can work on some versions of PSFreedom. PSFreedom is basically exact same as PSGroove only is has been ported and has a slightly different payload. My PSFreedom for HTC Hero has now been updated with the payload for syscal poke and peek
..so have many other devices ports. You could add this to your OP?
