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.

Which means the sever is looking for that file on the ps3


That is the New CLOUD sytem Winky Winky

that file where hes looking for is the Clean Log. if thats not clean ( Homebrew and stuff ) then a message will be send to sony and you cant login to PSN Winky Winky

Would it actually be possibly to create a logging sequence in this file & when we log in it it wont say we need to update because this logging sequence bypasses that? (this is just a theory, I know some of them have probably tried to do this, as for me I'm in basic coding)

Me and my team ( Team-Blizzard ) are still working on the new 3.56 CFW but its not easy becuz of that Cloud system we have to bypass Winky Winky
if more ppl will help it will be there allot faster =D

so once again ... if you are good with .HEX ,C++ , or other coding Language and you want to help ! Join Team-Blizzard Team

Lets Crack That Code !

Grtz.MysticalX & Team-Blizzard

a Auto Whipe History will do the same Winky Winky
but if we bypass the Cloud System we cannot say we have CFW then we have more problems then just the CLOUD system Winky Winky

If you go here in multiman /dev/flash/vsh/etc/version.txt and press R3 to view the file. This is what tells sony what version you are on. Ithink there is another file somewhere.

Now you can copy this file and edit it but u cant replace whats there kos its in the flash area. Ive tried many times to change it but no dice.

It would have to be changed via an update as when it begins installing it enters the ps3 at a low level which it can change most things.

you say by an update could somebody who is good with code make a pkg with the right settings applied then install on to the PS3 system like an update would?
