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.

Ironic you post this, cause earlier i was browsing my ps3 FTP and i found a little file called VERSION.txt in the Dev_Flash>vsh>etc (its at the bottom) and if you look at the first few oh idunno 50 or so characters... it says 3.550 or something of that manor... maybe this has something to do with it? im not sure, i cant replace the file because it tells me i dont have the proper permission

@jayconfly Yeah thats what i was lead to understand
@TheGuyWhoHakz look bro you asked for idea's on what to put on the updatelist.txt and i supplied you with the one everyones been using untill yesterday see --->You must login or register to view this content.
i have gave you everything i know and more i hope you figure out a way im just here trying to help
if you follow the tut i put up u could probably work it out locally and if you follow what i copy/pasted from aaron and set up a bind and host the directory to ps3/update/list/us u could probably crack it. If the ps3 is giving out version info then my guess is that its coming from the NAND which i doubt you will be able to change

The whole fw for the ps3 says 3.55 all over itself.
