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
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 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.

1. I added an additional internal IP to my Web Server
2. I created a DNS zone on my DNS server for ps3.update.playstation.net
3. Within the ps3.update.playstation.net zone, I created an "A" record for * and pointed this record to my new internal IP
4. I created a new website in IIS on my server and assigned the new IP to this site
5. I created the following directory structure in my webroot (update\ps3\list\us)
6. I copied the PS3-updatelist.txt file directly off of Aaron's server (Thanks Aaron!)
7. I copied the ps3-updatelist.txt from arron into the above directory
8. Since my PS3 was already configured to use my internal DNS server, I just turned my PS3 on and it worked.
Actually, at first I put the PS3-updatelist.txt in the root directory of the website I created and it did not work. I then took a look at my IIS logs and saw that the PS3 was looking for the update\ps3\list\us directory structure :twisted: . I created the structure and then put the PS3-updatelist.txt in the "US" directory and that fixed it.
Hopefully this post will help someone out there!

go upload ps3update.pup, THE CFW version somewhere, then go to 3.55 OFW
and now

version.txt is in dev_flash/vsh/etc/version.txt but psn doesnt use check that to get your fw, On some cfw it said the name of the fw in the version.txt like "wutang3.55" so they dont use that to verify fw anymore. Also they learned from the psp.
the ps3 needs plugin support, then we can use psnlover just like the psp to use psn

you wouldn't need to go through all that, If you were to install a custom firmware I don't know if you can go online (apparently you can't, i've never tried it though)
