PS3 SYSTEM UPDATE V3.55 IS LIVE! - DON'T UPDATE!

[The Central Scrutinizer]

PLEASE DON'T UPDATE V3.55 IS NOW LIVE!

PLEASE DON'T UPDATE V3.55 IS NOW LIVE!

Most likely because of the Team x3MAX's recent video or to block off the downgrading!

Update is now LIVE and on their servers!

* A new PS3 system software update v3.55, will be released soon.
* This is a minor update that adds a security patch!

GaryOPA Update:

I can confirm 100%, just like "ps3-hacks.com" did, the SERVICE MODE still works using an E3 Card Reader, but the (lv2diag.self file_1) has been revoked by Sony if the system is v3.55, so no DOWNGRADING!, but the second file (lv2diag.self file_2) has NOT, so at least Sony does not want you stuck in FACTORY MODE, and allows the user to return his machine into an ONLINE only beast of a Console, no Jailbreaking or Downgrading for v3.55 consoles!

if you thought that sony was gonna let you update to 3.50 to get online again you might as well update. your ps3 is never gonna see online again expect this to be the norm from now on.

expect to not be able to downgrade from 3.55 aswell.

this sucks,i cant play my black ops until i buy a 2nd ps3 now. Does anyone know what firmware the holiday bundles have?

i like this comment

Yo sony these security updates arent doing jack to prevent the hackers and modders form doing anything so why dont u work on add some features for all the legitimate PS3 owners?

I would think it might have something to do with X3Max's (soon to be released) 3.50 jailbreak as well...

[EverQueensBoss]

Well seems like a chance that either the rumoured 3.50 jailbreak was already patched or the downgrader was stopped. Seems like the downgrader might be stopped a lot faster then I expected =/ .

The question everyone needs to know is...Will Jailbreak devices capable of downgrading consoles be able to work on firmware 3.55...If any body get theres sticks early or already has theres made up please try the downgrade on the latest firmware please as there is alot of us who have ordered ours and R scared incase we cant use our sticks with our consoles

one of my faves

Wow, amazing.

People have been asking for certain features for years now, and you intentionally ignore them.

Yet a firmware is jailbroken and bam, within 72 hours a new firmware rolls out.

Why not show such enthusiasm for other features?
