It seems that efforts of Flukes1 patching of lv2 to add a working "peek and poke" to allow backups, has been partly blocked by an "anti-lv2-hacking" protection that seems to been recently added by Sony in their v3.55 firmware, so developers will have to find another way around these checks, and they are looking now at patching lv1 so end-users will be able to enjoy all the features that people are whining for like "backup managers", that they had so much enjoyed via the Jailbroken v3.41 systems using the lv2 patching Dongle payloads!
UPDATE: The info below is little wrong, Geohot had nothing to do with anti-lv2 checking, in fact it is SONY themselves that added more checks to make sure lv2 is not PATCHED starting with their new v3.55 firmware!
So all those flaming Geohot, they should not be, they should be flaming Sony!

Some serious issues that is which they working for it last night with Dean of multiMAN fame.
Then, they found out about geohot’s anti lv2 patching which disrupted whatever they are doing on the lv2 of PS3 security. It is quite expected after what Geohot has mentioned about the lv2 all this time. Afterward, Mathieulh came to help to share some info about the PS3 security, then we had to bear a needless drama from him that makes him leaving without further help. Moment later, we heard about Hermes wanting to help. Nothing heard about that since then. In the end, Flukes1 ends the game unsuccessfully and promised to look on the lv1 next.
Well, what we can conclude from this is that, the previous patched PUP that is reportedly should be working with backups and the homebrews with peek poke syscalls are useless after all. So, i had to take a hard lesson from all of this and had to confirm myself if Flukes1 & Co. ever come up with the new PUP. Which they possibly should considering the situation they are facing. Let’s just hope that will be the final one.
