  • PS3 FW 3.56 Released - Updating is Not Recommended

    Sony Computer Entertainment finally showed its hand tonight, with the release of 3.56 Official Firmware. It is strongly advised that you do not update if you wish to retain custom firmware etc. However, the firmware still needs to be analyzed to see exactly what the new version brings and if anything is patched.

    IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO UPDATE TO 3.56, IN ORDER TO RETAIN JAILBREAKING AND OR CUSTOM FIRMWARE


    UPDATE #1:
    As expected, the new firmware kills all homebrew. The update includes a new .self file with a new, previously unknown, key inside. This means all homebrew tools will have to be updated in order to restore functionality. More to come.
    Update #2:
    <@Mathieulh> 3.56 has nice new stuffs in there :P
    <@Mathieulh> like remote code execution upon login
    <@Mathieulh> don't tell me I haven't warned you

    UPDATE #2:
    KaKaRoToKS is pushing keys and new versions of his tools to his github HERE.
    From Kakaroto:
    pup from ps3utils and puppack/pupunpack from ps3tools in github.com/kakaroto can now pack/unpack 3.56 correctly.
    lv1 and lv2 keys are now pushed to my ps3keys repo.. more coming
    isoldr keys are now pushed too.

      What do you mean bypass 3.65? If you don't have auto update on you should be OK, shouldn't you?
      Or am I missing something? Is this (DNS ip) a proxy that spoofs 3.5?

      Kakaroto Has Also updated his ps3keys github and his ps3utils located at https://github.com/kakaroto/ps3keys and https://github.com/kakaroto/ps3utils
      he has added the 3.56 rvk, spp, lv1 and lv2 keys and you are now able to puppack the 3.56 to enable the install pkg files from usb... to bad they dont work (i think)

      in order to update from a CFW you have to flash the ps3 firmware to the OFW
