So what I'm guessing is that you can't just fake the firmware version to update your PS3, something else has to be involved in the PS3's update. If anyone knows how to get past that error maybe we would be able to get 3.41 as a firmware above 3.50 :confused:

just a guess


All you would be doing is making a new copy of the patch. Not a good idea lol.

The DL shouldn't be a problem tho because it's comming from a USB device. The real problem is the fact that Sony puts signatures all over their shit. If we could find where those signatures are and change the 3.41 fw to the 3.50s, the PS3 will probably take it. I can help as much as I can. Just PM me.

ive seen around that the ps3 connects to a sony server to authorise the firmware or whatever.... maybe if you block the ps3 from connecting i.e. a patch blocker or something it might work :confused:

you can install other firmware of your usb if you don't have internet on the ps3, so doesn't work with patch blocker or something else...
