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 Happy



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 Smile.

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 :P Just have a look at it and see if you find anything interesting

UPDATE: I added the .pcap which shows alot more information:

You must login or register to view this content.

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.

Ya if you attempted to downgrade it would probably brick your PS3 seeing the files versions won't match...

Cool I just opened the pcap file. Good stuff. I like how the HTTP requests you can really see everything. Will have to dig around a little bit. I installed Anon Proxy on my linux box and set the ps3 to use that proxy server. I see what you mean about how now you can WireShark the data without having to do anything else. Now I gotta learn how to configure anon proxy to redirect updatelist.txt requests to the local file on the linux box. How do I do that?

If you were to "try to downgrade" from 3.56 you would get into service mode and be stuck as we havent attained the keys for 3.56. Theres an estimated 19,000 ppl who got there ps3 bricked and stuck in 3.56 service mode STILL as we speak...

LOL @ SONY, Non ecc modules= Get owned..

Oh yeh stupid me (I'm just too tired, I had no sleep last night because I was on this forum, lol) Anyway..

Goto: Configure

select "Url Redirect" from the drop menu

then slect "URL" from the next drop down menu

Then in the first textbox type: You must login or register to view this content. (Or your own URL to your own ps3-updatelist.txt)

And in the last textbox type: You must login or register to view this content.

or if your in the US type:

You must login or register to view this content.

It should look like this:

You must login or register to view this content.

Hope this helps Smile

BTW, you can also click "Usage Log" to see what URLs the ps3 has tried to access, yet wireshark is better for this :P
