I have a theory that I want to know if it is possible to qa flag on a OFW above 3.55.

First, you have to have two PS3s and one has to be qa flagged. The second is on a OFW 3.6x. Then data transfer the PS3. Maybe it could work because it can be done for a debug internet on PS3. Why not the same for qa flag?

ok lol, if everyone is trying to find out how to QA Flag in the first place what make you think just anyone will have one on this forum? but still a good theory because when we do find out how to QA Flag we can make duplicates fast if this work! So good job in other words!

I thought this would be one of those DUH! things to try and not worth mentioning. May or may not work but I gotta qa flag first and I don't feel like it right now maybe tomorrow plus we still gotta figure out the button combo for 3.56+ since it changed supposedly. Cause the actual qa flag doesn't go away but you will need a new button combo to access the debug menus.

Ohhhhh...:confused: Then can't we find the combo the same way we did for 3.55??? by looking in the vse.self (or whatever the file name is)???? I heard the Math said that there is extra crypto on the new OFW'c combo. If true, then that will be our next speed bump, finding a way to bypass the new crypto and finding the combo

Can't search the vsh.self without an app that will run on 3.56+ either... since we still need the new keys to sign the applications so it will work on those firmwares... its basically pointless to use QA flag above 3.55 at this point we need the 3.56+ keys first to be able to sign applications/pkgs then the qa flag combo(also encrypted) then hope sony didn't change it in the now current 3.66 update and doesn't keep changing it every couple updates.... so yeah... it kinda sucks unless you can flash your own nand chips I can't afford the hardware yet already got the soldering kit ready to go though...

everyone already knows how to qa flag where have you been?

ayy man I have been on vacation for a while so give me a break :/

Firmwares are stored on the nands not on the hard drive, therefore if you data transferred a QA flagged PS3 to a console on a higher firmware, only the contents stored on the HDD will shift over (not including copyrighted material such as games, maps or trophys)

Yeah, I realized this was wrong, but that wasn't what I was trying to achieve. I read that when you update, linux is gone, so the qa tokens are gone as well. I thought that this is a way that we can bring the qa tokens into a newer firmware and then worrying about the combo. This way we don't have to hack the firmware before we can qa flag the console because what is the use of qa flag when we hacked the firmware? Thanks, but I thought of something that I want to ask you if you know will work. Well, in the firmware 3.60+ Sony changed the Auth to access PSN. That is why the DNS trick is only working on 3.60+ firmwares right now. Since the 3.55 CFW has the old auth we can't sign in using the DNS trick. Now my question is, can't we look at the information being sent to sony by the PS3 while it is signing in the PSN on 3.60+ OFW with the wireshark (or whatever that program is called)??? I know that it won't be in black in white, but if we find it, can't we implement it into our current 3.55 CFW and put a 3.66 spoof on to access PSN??? In theory this should work because the auth matches and the firmware matches. Just my 2 cents. Thanks

Yeah thats a great question and certainly a solid theory and yes wireshark was one of the programs they initially used to develop Charles/FKPSN bypass the last time. By installing the dev blind pkg and modifying the CA24 cert it did enable bypass to work (FKPSN method at least) however because there wasnt a spoofed firmware available at the time FKPSN also acted like a patchblocker to disable the prompts for updating. But your absolutely right, a spoofed PUP file = no updating prompts and the correct auth i believe should allow bypass to work. The only problem i have with DNS bypass is that its simply not a great connection to play games on, fantastic for accessing the store and maybe syncing some trophys but the lag you recieve in games will certainly turn you into a ragequitter really quick if you love your COD games lol but bad access is better then no access, id probably look at REBUG firmware. I believe people are claiming DNS bypass works just fine on the SP environment. Thanks for your response mate.
