Joe88 said:there is many reports of ps3's which had cfw 3.55 (any ver) and upgraded straight to 3.56, are now bricked
many people are urging to reinstall 3.55 ofw from the recovery menu and wipe everything if you plan to go to 3.56 ofw
there is also a rumor circulating that 3.56 disables the ability to install fw updates from external memory
only game discs and psn are the only way to obtain fw updates now
its not confirmed yet

Ran wipe history
Deleted all homebrew
Reinstalled 3.55 OFW from recovery menu
Formatted the hard drive
Reset settings to default
I'm sure not all of these things were necessary, but better safe than sorry
Now I'm installing the 3.56 update
We'll see how this goes...
EDIT: The update went well. no brick

anonymourse said:I'm scared to update even though i'm on 3.55 OFW. Should i update? I don't play that much online, occasionally play some Uncharted 2 but i mostly end up rage quitting 'cause i suck. Btw i have a AU 160gb slim. Should i update?
