I have a CECHA01 PS3, which I had to pay a bunch for in order to get low firmware.
I installed 3.55 OFW, then installed a custom firmware on it (I believe it's one of Rogero's, or possibly reBug)
Haven't turned it on in about 4 months so I'm sure it's way outdated now and I won't be able to get on PSN.
Is it still worth trying to spoof my firmware so I can go on PSN? I actually got my main account banned (probably from playing a game online using mmCM, I understand that's risky) as well as my console itself, hence why I had to buy another console... so now I have two PSN accounts, one for my Vita which I don't use any hacks with and another for my PS3.
So, some specific questions...
Finally, one last thing:

So, some specific questions...
- Is 3.55 still the most current firmware to have custom firmware mods for it?
- Is there any less risk of being banned now than there was before?
- I saw a thread about Cobra USB going open source. I have a Cobra USB and used it until their CFW got blocked and I couldn't go on PSN. Is there any way to have CFW that can get on PSN AND play backed up PS2 games? I have a CECHA01 as I mentioned so literally the ONLY reason I needed that stupid dongle was for their DRM
- I've seen a bit of mention of ODEs. The 3Key being one of them. Would it be worth buying one of the "super slim" models that costs $200, slapping a hard drive in there (I have plenty of 2.5" hard drives to go around), and getting an ODE? I still want my CECHA01 for certain things - such as ripping SACDs, hence my need for CFW...
- Speaking of ODEs, assuming I do 1:1 copies, is there any risk of PSN bans? Or is it pretty safe as long as you aren't modifying the disc contents?
Finally, one last thing:
- Has anyone actually been able to decrypt PS3 DLC files? I've seen a few apps written for it, but every time I tried them with Guitar Hero songs (don't ask why I want those), it couldn't find the key - I left them bruteforcing for days on end with no luck... even using the eboot file from the retail disc.
