    My PS3 is stuck at the "connect controller through usb" screen, and all I have is a gamestop wired controller.

    When I connect it to the ps3 and press the PS button nothing happens

    Is there a way to get past this screen? what if I used a jailbreak dongle?

    ALSO are all of the "make a jailbreak dongle from any usb" things fake? they give you a .bat to run that copies things to a usb drive

    Im pretty sure you have to have an official ps3 controller, dualshock 3 or sixaxis to get passed that... maybe there is a secret way, im not sure, yea the jailbreak dongle is so different from usb drive... besides with kmeaw and wanikoko ect there is no need for dongles anymore

    I agree.. it has to be an official controller

    3.55 has a lot of support for third party controllers removed. Hence why it used to work...

    It all started with 3.50...
    In fact, some reported that it started way before, but most of them were revoked by 3.50.
    It was Sony's attempt to block usb dongles... which obviously failed.

    Well I bought it used from some dude who said it hadn't been turned on in a while and would probably need some updating.

    Now I don't know if the USB ports work. When I power it up with a thumb drive in it, the light goes on then flashes like its being read from.

    You don't need an official controller to get past that screen.
    I don't have an official controller, I bought 2 wireless pads with usb BT dongles and when I got that screen I pressed the PS button on my controllers and it worked fine.

    I did this on FW 3.55 after updating from 3.50 using KMEAW's CFW.
