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.

Hmm, my recommendation is to not fake the CDN config line and use a proxy that allows you to set a user agent string as a server can check that...

And by using a proxy, i dont mean hidemyass, I mean a socks proxy program. Be smart Smile.

right guys while searching Sony's update server i found a site that bypasses the update which uses the idea we are trying to do it in a lot of depth.
here is the You must login or register to view this content.

Here is the actual page the ps3 checks for updates

we are trying to use the same method the once used to bypass before but we have only been editing the update.txt but there is more to it as the link i added explains.
i just cant try that cos you need to be on linux to do it all.

i don't think sony are looking at what version we are running by looking in the txt file while trying to sign in the network speaks to each other and sonys networks ask it to send the image file to the server thats what we need to change to 3.56 to bypass.

So as sony have stopped the dns bypass it times out then tell you it needs to be updated because sony is not receiving the files.
hence while have the DNS still set up you say ok to updating it tells you, you have the right update.

Please check the date of the link you post...
This is the trick we all used, but that is not working anymore due to an extra check.

If it is in the http headers and checked on the logon server, it's going to be very hard, since you can't modify http headers in a ssl connection.

The only only way forward is to recompile cfw 3.55 as if it was a 3.56 for servers that do the version check.

I can't do that, but many here are screaming they are working in the cfw 3.56 (Big BS, since no key's are available) should be able to do that, if they are what they claim they are

What is stopping you from installing it, either as a virtual machine or dual boot?
