Are you using a hub or unecrypted wireless? I think either of those should work for wireshark. Otherwise I think you'd need a program like Cain and Able to trick the router into giving your computer the data transferred between the ps3 and the router.

Right I have successfully recorded data while signing in on OFW 3.56, the file is located You must login or register to view this content. (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 (I think the valuable bits of information is anywhere between Line 90 to 587) Just have a look at it and see if you find anything interesting

Now were waiting for the wireshark 3.55 "PSN sign in" data

Just from a quick look it doesn't seem like there are any other files being transferred other than the updatelist file. Seems that a couple mods to that file might be all thats needed.

Right, i'm on 3.55 and cant go online, i'm trying to come up with a 3.56 bypass, i've successfully tricked my ps3 into downloading my custom modded You must login or register to view this content. file, any ideas on what to edit inside the ps3-updatelist.txt ?

it currently says:

    # UK

Dest=87;CompatibleVersion=0000bc25-;

Dest=87;CompatibleSystemSoftwareVersion=3.5600-;

Dest=87;ImageVersion=0000bc76;SystemSoftwareVersion=3.5600;CDN=https://duk01.ps3.update.playstation.net/update/ps3/image/uk/2011_0127_6e070c96e0464e993aaf9deac3660863/PS3UPDAT.PUP;CDN_Timeout=30;

any ideas, I've already tried changing 3.5600 to 3.500 but it still wants to download something.

Thanks

EDIT 2:

We (the people active in this thread) are going to compare the two wireshark data recordings while signing in on each firmware, OFW 3.55 and OFW 3.56. Hopefully this will get us one step further to bypassing OFW 3.56 again.

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.

See thats what I don't understand to load it from your website you would need to redirect it to your website first how are you doing this is my question?
