any ideas, I've already tried changing 3.5600 to 3.500 but it still wants to download something.
Thanks
We (the people active in this thread) are going to compare Signing into PSN on 3.55 and signing in on 3.56. We will be using wireshark to record what gets sent from the PS3 to sony & vice versa.
We will sign in on each firmware, OFW 3.55 and OFW 3.56, and while signing in wireshark will be recording the data being sent back and forth.
Hopefully this will get us one step further to bypassing 3.56 again
.EDIT 2:
Right I have successfully recorded data while signing in on OFW 3.56, the file is located here (some bits I had to take out as these were getting picked up by other things, my antivirus updating and other things)
but I have recorded the data while signing in on 3.56, its somewhere in there
Just have a look at it and see if you find anything interesting UPDATE: I added the .pcap which shows alot more information:

You'll need to download Wireshark to open it: DOWNLOAD WIRESHARK You must login or register to view this content.
Now were waiting for the wireshark 3.55 "PSN sign in" data
EDIT 1:
If your using the DNS bypass, or proxy bypass, then when you try system update via internet, it will say it has the current version, yet if you sign in via PSN it says theres a system update available.
So Sony has found out the real firmware through PSN, somewhere on the ps3's HDD is a file that tells sony that the ps3 is on 3.55, but where is this file?
Ways I see of fixing this:
finding the file and changing 3.55 to 3.56
installing a custom firmware which blocks out updates, or which says its on 3.56.

I may re-upload them if I can directly link them, yet I have no place to host the PS3UPDAT.PUP file and the updatelist.txt i'll host on pastebin.com, if anyone has a direct link to GeoHot's custom firmware, let me know or if you can directly host it

Agreed. That would work -- if you could figure out a way to access the 3.56 files.
Option 2 would be to see what data is sent between the ps3 and psn to reverse engineer from there.
I'm going to try option 2 out on 3.55 but even more helpful would be if someone could run it on 3.56

Here's a helpful video tutorial on Cain and Able that explains the ARP poisoning technique (to record data sent/received from your ps3).

Yeh we need someone to try it on 3.56 (Someone who's not updated)
Good Luck
