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.

Well your ps3 is still loading it off the Internet from their website so how are you tricking it to download from elsewhere?

How did you "trick" your ps3 into downloading this? If your own 3.56 it doesn't even matter if you edit this because you cant upload it back into your PS3.
