Gaming So there's a new firmware update...

[DarkMario616]

I'm not updating yet because I want to some time in the future jailbreak my PS3 >_> but I want to play MK2 online lol.

 

[Joe88]

I see it on a bunch of news sites now v3.56

a minor update to patch security

it hasnt been confirmed what it patches so dont update

 

[DarkMario616]

Yah just looked it up.

So what happens when you jailbreak and a new update comes out...no PSN? Or you bypass it?

 

[MarioBrotha]

Sucks that I restarted my PS3, cant play online now :'(

EDIT: wasn't there an old DNS trick that allowed playing online with the old 3.41 firmware? Wouldn't that work on this situation too?

 

[Joe88]

PSN access is blocked on 3.55
there is a DNS hack however expect it to be patched within a day (like always) so dont even bother unless your really desperate to get online

somebody said they tried booting the FTP app and it doesnt start up and gives an error now

 

[DarkMario616]

You think 3.56 will be hacked? I want to play online but eh.

 

[MarioBrotha]

Guess its time to wait again u.u


And who is this "somebody" btw?

the peeps at psxscene

more users are commenting that no homebrew is working now

also the DNS bypass (USA only I think) is 67.202.81.137

 

[DarkMario616]

Oh I see...one sec trying

Sweet it works.

 

[MarioBrotha]

You go to Network Settings, then internet connection settings, then custom, and then scroll right until you come to the DNS settings. Then you put in the numbers above

EDIT: I can confirm the DNS bypass thing is working right now, I'm on kmeaws CFW

KaKaRoTo has confirmed the new update comes with a .self with a new key inside of it

I was having a good ol time to in LBP2 when suddenly I was signed out and was ask to update.

KaKaRoTo has confirmed the new update comes with a .self with a new key inside of it

Woah what? I thought that wasn't possible, since all the old games had just the old key

 

[Joe88]

ok, so they added a new .self file in the PUP
what is it named KaKaRoTo?
and it seems it contains a key that we don't know about

hmm
rms, can't know, they use 0x601 entry id
hrm
filesize?
i still have to download half of the pup
5660160
same filesize as ps3swu.self
interesting
probably
newer updater
older updater?
well
every new key is visible
yeah, probably a newer ps3swu.self that is more secure
but they kept the old one for people upgrading from older firmwares
that's the problem
its technically impossible for them to have add a new decryption key
the new ps3swu.self probably decrypts and uses the new self

I wasn't even aware that there was a new firmware update. Maybe it just hit an hour or two ago though since my PS3 has been on since about 3pm PST. Will end up getting the update anyways since this PS3 is never going to see the wonders of CFW.

 

[synce]

Time to start taking bets on how long it'll take for decryption

An error has occurred for me at 30%, it's not like I hacked my PS3 DX

Yeah, their servers are getting hammered right now, try to update a bit later

 

[DarkMario616]

My friend's got 3.55 CFW and he's online.

Lolwut?
