PS3 Firmware 3.21 Released


Submitted by greg; April 01, 2010


Update: Or do this: through the Internet connection settings, set the primary DNS server to 67.202.81.137. I can confirm this also works -- PSN, store, downloads, online play -- all working, even without Logan5's tool. It's a magical IP; who knows how long it'll work for...
Update: I can personally confirm with the Logan5 [proxy] tool that you're able to bypass the 3.21 firmware update, leaving OtherOS and PSN (store/friends list access only) intact. I can't seem to play any online games though, or download game version updates, not with this method anyway. Anyone else?
Here's how:
  1. Download Logan5's tool.
  2. Run it;
    • If it loads successfully, proceed to step 3.
    • If it doesn't load, you may be missing some required Windows libraries. Google whatever you're missing; find it, download it, install it. In my case I was missing "mswinsck.ocx." You can find that here.
  3. Ensure "Firmware Update" remains unchecked.
  4. Click "Start Proxy" and take note of your IP.
  5. On your PS3, go to Settings -> Network Settings -> Internet Connection Settings.
  6. Select "Custom" and proceed through each screen, setting up your connection as normal, until you reach "Proxy Server."
  7. Select "Use."
  8. Enter the IP address and port as shown in Logan5's tool.
  9. Advance forward, save your connection and try it out. You should be able to sign in to PSN with no problems.

Get it straight from the XMB System Update: PS3 Firmware 3.21. If you're sportin a Slim, you may as well upgrade. No hacks for you. If you're not, and perhaps you have OtherOS reasons, then you may want to consider Geohot's advice: don't upgrade, not right away anyway, unless of course you need/want PSN access. We'll keep you posted. This [3.21] update does one thing and one thing only: removes OtherOS. Download: Logan5's Tool This post is dedicated to maddeath's 60GB PS3.

Is there any way to bypass the firmware update?

Perhaps the old "Remove blu-ray game, insert another one" trick?
Or setting up a local DNS and redirecting the firmware check traffic?

I will choose to wait until Geohot comes out with his custom firmware... by then, my spring break should be over...

Well, I guess I can also say screw Sony, I will sell my PS3, and buy a stand-alone media streaming device for my media server. I hardly ever play games on it, so they can kiss off. It's a 60GB with Hardware BwC, and it goes up on Ebay as soon as I get the chance, original box and everything is still in it. Assholes, I should have taken it back to WalMart when I had the chance.

They are the biggest pieces of shit on Earth, to take back what they promised and offered. All that money people paid for this shit, and then to lose it all. SO, if someone finds way to exploit it through PS2 BwC, that means they will remove that feature too? I bet they would, if they are doing this shit move, what a shit move they made.

I don't want anything to do with the PS3 now. Should have known it was shit when AC6 came out for XB360 instead. The only reason I bought this crap was for the Ace Combat series, and look what happened there.

Anyone organizing a class-action suit, you can count me in!

this is everyones fault im sure sony could give a shit less about emaulators iso .ect but everyone who hacked the psp to pirate games and talked about doing the same 4 the ps3 this is all your fault. if you didnt try n fuck sony out of business we would still have os they cant risk losing all that money especially in this rescsion we all could be kickin back on som nice isos emaulators custom firmware and all thouse things but NOOOOOO you all have 2 be greedy THANKS

IT IS TIME TO PUT ARE FOOT DOWN

Updates are to fix bugs and add features not take them away.

I plan to phone them email them and snail mail them.

I hope geohot can find a way for cfw or at least a work around to get on psn with out updating

would also be cool if he opened up the RSX hardware to Linux

I don't really be leave in iso loaders but Sony almost deserves it with this move
and you never know what could happen geohot may no way more then hes telling us and have it already working but I dout that's the case as the security is quite good on the ps3 but you never know.

I was really hoping it was a April fool's joke

guess I won't need to spend any money on God of war 3 until they put the feature back or it gets hacked.

Dylan, this isn't the consumers fault, it's Sony's.

No matter what piece of technology, EVERYONE debates about whether it can be hacked or not. This is sony's fault, 100%. They gave us the otheros option knowing well there are risks to it. They thought they were so high and mighty and wanted to prove that the ps3 was unhackable. Look now, Geohotz got into some simple rco editing, changed some text around. End result is that sony flips out and decides to just take it away. They are definitely crossing some serious moral lines. Sony has always been bad at handling console hacks, they try to take everything away from the user (at least I still have the option to buy apps on my iPod). Now, since I can't log into PSN, I can't update my games, download new games, and I won't be able to buy later-released games and support developers.

Fuck you Sony.

Can anyone with a phat Playstaion 3 confirm that the OtherOS is indeed missing after the update?

just a thought:

Where is the update stored/installed on the PS3?

HDD ore ROM?

If it is on the HDD, why not use 2 different HDDs.

One with the capability of OtherOS and one with the regular Sony OS.

Will this work?

Bullshit! You can get onto the PSN without updating your PS3. All you need is a home network, a data point for a windows pc taht you will use and "Logan5's tool/2009". Just leave the "firmware update" unchecked and use the ip address from the app in your ps3 proxy settings.

I'm not even a hacker, just really pissed off at Sony. And it's not a matter of using the Install Other OS, its the friggin principle. My PS3, my decision... NO-ONE elses! So suck it Sony! Any other tautologies anyone!?

Best payback, don't buy. Let Sony see how they cope when the money flow stops... maybe then the'll listen. Who has the steel to stand their ground... or are you all soft tennis balls?! lol.

why do people still care about hacking the ps3 anyway? its a losing battle, the more we press in that direction the more sony will take away, doesn't bother me, i don't use otherOS anyway, and for homebrew stick to the psp, not like homebrew will ever be good enough to fully use the ps3 hardware anyway, emulators ... i got a pc for that, each tool for its job, the ps3 is for serious gaming with original disks and online.

or maybe ... that's just my opinion, anyway ...

the only reason why anyone would need a hacked ps3 is if you can't afford to buy the games, but in that case, why do you own a ps3 in the first place?

OK, Look. For all you people whining and complaining that you cant play ROMS on your ps3 and so forth, SOD OFF. ITS a CONSOLE, not ment for a "True computer" in the long run. Just cause it has a "web browser" doesnt make it a computer. Im guessing over 80 percent of you HAVE a food pc/mac out there that you play roms on ANYWAY...so stop your complaining and bitching...

It just goes to show how many whiny people are out there. If you dont like the update, then dont do it. Simple. Stop complaining really. You all are starting to sound like 360 fanbois sucking their mommas tit and complaining about the littlest thing.

And as for "our right to have the other OS", fuck off...Just be happy your system hasnt died on you or anything else really. IF you ppl want to hack(im not against it at all) then go find some obscure JAPANESE system, hack THAT and then gloat about stuff. but really, dont complain about "rights" when your "rights" are givin up as soon as your born int this world. posers.

Its aconsole, play games that are BOUGHT, dont try to copy shit. Its ironic that ppl wonder why a company looses money, its because you PIRATE stuff. Its one reason this economy is doing horrible. If you want to play something, go play it at a friends or rent it but DON'T complain when sony makes an update to further the security of a great system.

So stop whining, and just take it. if you dont update theres a way around it. Use THAT and shut up. For the slim users just update it. Most have both systems anyway and they can save their phat from the update and not worry anyway.

Tbh I Agree with Darki.

anyways why is some people being so worried about the new firmware 3.21 anyways if you like your '' OtherOs Feature '' then Dont Upgrade ya firmware even though u wont be able to sign into the psn network simple as that , if some of us gamers dont like '' Other Os '' then update the system firmware , i even updated my console today and tbh i dont use Other os that much.

and speaking of Firmware 3.21 theres a hidden feature behind it in the update which makes the psn purchased ps1 games in better quality and also in the update the MP4 format got improved. which is cool. :D

So when Sony remove the ability to play music or watch any kind of video (avi, bluray, dvd), you'll be quite happy with that? After all, it's just a games console! You've got a DVD player for that! Maybe if they only let you play it on a Sony television, you'll be fine with that also?

To all those waiting for a hack, if you're waiting for a hack then you might as well quit waiting as software hacks aren't going to defeat a hardware based encryption security system, how hard is it for you to understand that? Mandatory firmware updates on game discs are going to keep any software based exploits in check.

Geohat's dumb-ass proof of concept exploit is the reason we no longer have Other OS feature. Before that, we had OtherOS and PSN network access and everything, best of both worlds. There was no rumors or rumblings of the feature getting removed before that, now look. I have a 60GB launch Model and would have considered using the feature since I'm in the I.T. industry; would of liked a linux system to go along with my Laptop/Desktop. Unfortunately due to space limitations I didn't get to try it out, PSN network access and playing games takes priority over Other OS as I didn't buy the console with that feature as a major selling point. I bought the system for it's backwards compatibility which I do use, and for playing PS3 games obviously. I watch occasional DVD's and Blu-rays, listen to music and watch videos, was it nice to have the Other OS option on the table, there to be utilized if the need or want arose? Yes, yes it was; but alas it's now either one or the other. Yeah Sony gave the system openness by allowing you to install linux out of the box on it, and then what do you do with it? You still try and break the system, so who's to blame? For some even thou the system was slow due to the hypervisor still running in the background, having linux on the box without needing to break all the security to install it like on the Xbox360 was apparently still not enough to satisfy. The Xbox360 and Wii didn't even offer you that option, should of been happy to have had it out of the box. The open-source people always complain about openness and always claim they want to run Linux and develop and run their own code on a machine, hence why they feel the need to hack it open and break all the security. Here a machine that allowed a full linux install, a gift if you will from Sony; well happy trails to that as it's something that probably won't be featured in another game console for a long time to come if ever again.

For the Other OS users, it's unfortunate that if you also use the system for playing games it's a catch22. Blame Geo-hat.
It's either update and lose the Other OS system or buy another system and never update to 3.21 or higher. Yeah Geo-hat made a bunch of edits to the RCO and made text on screen say "Welcome Geo-hat", proclaimed he could access the root key and made other predictions; and here's the end result. Great work from someone who says he's never played a game on the PS3, found it more interesting to mess around with the system instead. Great job rocking the boat Hat.

The TRUTH of the matter is that all the bickering for custom firmware, piracy and openness like on the PSP is what's led Sony to remove the feature. Basically the majority of people want to play games for free via PIRACY like they might do so on the PSP, Wii and the Xbox360. Yes it's a recession and even before the recession everyone wanted to get GAMES for free, but it's not like Sony's just going to stand there and take it up the rear like they did on the PSP, or how Microsoft and Nintendo did with their systems before they started taking action.

SO... anyone updated?... i wonder if this ONLY removes the option to install an other os...

but the thing is it can't remove the option to boot in other os if it is already installed it just can't! it's not right!

did anyone install other os and update?? i wonder if you still have access to it? because if you do, everyone should install it then update... if it just removes the option to INSTALL other os we should all do it now before it's too late! and then when geocock finally does something good with his exploit (in 3 years) we'll have a 10gb other os partition ready for the cfw mod or whatever!!

NO??? who tried that already?? anyone?

I kinda of agree with one of the above guy.

IF we didn't hack so much, sony wouldnt lose bad profit that they have to make such move. I seen some hispanic people by my house that post on craiglsitst like severals post on hacking psp/360/wii and making profit. This is something that could causes the company to get ticked off.




Personally, I like to buy game and make the copy...at least buy it at some point.


anyhow, I would liek to see the ps3 hacked

also, i would like to see more people support buying games

why else would the company make console if they don't make profit.

about 0.00001% of people use the linux option. so all this fuss is a load of crap. if u dont play games on ur ps3 then sony arent losing any money by you selling it... cos youve already paid for the fckin system! lol. if anything they might make more money now because a person who couldnt afford to buy a ps3 now has the chance to buy one cheaper.

how are they assholes for protecting their system from hackers trying to rip them off?? they made a product..we bought it. we pay to buy games so they can make more games to entertain us. if we dont pay then we're stealing. thyre not a charity, they have every right to protect their product. if that means losing somethin noone uses then so be it. ill be updating to 3.21 when i finished writing this and ill promptly forget about the useless otheros option. if you use the otheros option then you have my sympathys. but sony have every right to protect themselves.

What will probably happen is if you do that then you'll just have a 10gb chunk of unusable invisible data on your hard drive. To get your space back after that you'd need to reformat the drive. It won't matter if you have Linux on there after the update, the firmware won't allow you access to that partition. That's what this whole update is about. It's not about stopping people from installing it, it's about blocking all access to it completely.

GeoHot: If you are reading this, here's a suggestion.

Instead of finding a way around 3.21, find a hack for PS3 that works without using the other OS feature. That will really teach them a lesson, and will probably make them restore other OS since there's no reason to block it anymore.

To all the people out there waiting for CFW and Hacks, keep waiting. I’d like to see how code can defeat a hardware based encryption system without some sort of hardware mod.

As for Sony being high and mighty giving its early Fat adopters Linux support out of the box albeit a crippled format; yeah that was mean of them to offer it up front; something Microsoft and Nintendo didn’t with their respective consoles motivating open-source people go and break the security for said purposes. Yeah that was a lousy move on Sony’s part - they should have just not offered it at all since it wasn’t enough to appease the open-source community that wanted a fully open system, regardless of how many times it’s been shown that opening up devices just leads to Piracy. They tried to give the open-source community what it wants, a machine that can run x-y-z Linux distro’s without having to break all the security to do so, but it’s apparent now that the test has failed. Happy trails to Linux support, welcome back to the old method of breaking it all down. So much for that, and the victims who might of used it legitimately and played games? Yeah so much for them, thanks to Geo-hot’s brilliant proof of concept and bold statements of making PS2 emulators, emulators and getting Root Keys and other boasts, look at the end result. I doubt Sony’s concern was that he edited a bunch of rco files to make it display “Welcome Geohot” on the main menu. How is this Sony’s fault? DemonD ? Are they suppose to just sit back and get screwed over by piracy like on the PSP, or not take action until there’s piracy like on the Wii or Xbox360? Yes it’s clearly Sony’s fault in your world, thou in reality it’s more Geo-hat’s fault regardless of how much you want to not believe so. Really Sony tried to take everything away from the user? Well Gee before Geo-hot released his proof-of-concept we had perfect harmony, Other OS and PSN access and games, no need for firmware by-passing needed. No mention or rumors of Other OS getting pulled; was the Other OS Linux perfect? No not by many estimations but it worked good enough in allowing people such as some of the other posters on this site to at least use it as a computer to write reports and documents on it, if they had no other stand-alone computer. But like I said again, apparently for some that wasn’t enough. Had to go and rock the boat and open a can of worms, great job Geo-hat. Hmm now he says he’s going to start reverse-engineering the update to find a way to keep Other OS and still update, well that’s great, good luck getting the hardware to run that code on a vanilla box that’s not running in his exploit mode.

Figured I'd at least post this somewhere, since Sony made a pathetic move today (April Fools, yeah right) that affects a large number of PS3 owners; the removal of OtherOS. The 3.21 update apparently does nothing but remove a feature for "security concerns." I didn't even want to install it on my PS3 Slim, so I went and adjusted my server to bypass the update for myself and others.

Basically, this will allow you to use the PSN and play your games online while still having an older PS3 firmware version installed, such as 3.15.

If, eventually, a disc game comes out that requires 3.21, you will be forced to upgrade to play that game; there's nothing you can do about that yet. But in the meantime...

You can go to customize your network settings from XMB, and get to the part about DNS nameservers. Select custom, and enter the following IP as your Primary DNS:
67.202.81.137

And there you go, PSN works.

So Basically All You Have To Do Is Make 67.202.81.137 your primary DNS and your ps3 will be able to connect to psn without any updates

HAHAHAHA you assholes deserve it...OMFG I'm happier than a black guy with a bucket of KFC...don't bother hacking the PS3 GeoHot cause the minute you hack that bitch is the minute Sony's going to fuck everybody over and somehow update everybody to the latest firmware. As technology grows we get less and less privacy and freedom. don't bother, better yet go right ahead cause when you do find a way to get custom firmware running on the PS3 Sony's gonna magically know who's running it on what console and force original firmware on those PS3's...I'm not saying i don't have faith in you I'm saying new technology = less privacy and less freedom.

lol i agree with Aaron... if GeoHot figure out a way to hack the beast without the use of OtherOS it would be a kick in the nuts of Sony lol but remember that the major accomplishments that he did was using the feature. And the guy said sorry for what he done, everyone knew that Sony would come out with something to block is way. For the ones that use Linux on the PS3, time to buy a PC... to the other ones: LET'S JUST WAIT AND SEE WHERE THIS IS GETTING INTO...

You are retarded. Do you realize an iso is a pirated game?

Also, they don't lose any money. On average it takes about 7 million dollars to make a game, $.10 to make a disc, they sell the games for $50.90 more than it takes to reproduce the games, they can easily make over 7 million in a week...

And don't act like they are going out of business.. They make billions on their products.

You, are what some people might call an idiot.

You just need to understand how everything works still, and what ONE ps3 with cfw can do to the ENTIRE psn, that is if the person really wanted to do some damage.

The main argument since this exploit came out was to use it for good or bad. Basically.

They have already said that you cannot access that partition after you update. Didn't you read the original blog post announcing the 3.21 firmware?

"If you currently use the “Other OS” feature and you wish to update to system software 3.21, make sure you back-up any data stored within the hard drive partition used by the “Other OS,” as they will not be able to access that data following the update." - EU Playstation Blog

You don't need homebrew on the PS3 to do this. If you install Linux using OtherOS, you can already run emulators. They run kinda poorly, but..

The other option would be to get DualShock 3 drivers for your PC, and connecting your computer to your TV. You mentioned your 'big screen' so I'm guessing you have an HDTV. Buy a cheap graphics card with HDMI out, and you're set. Connect the PC to your TV, start up an emulator, and map the buttons to your PS3 controller. And I guarantee you, it will probably run better than on the PS3. Definitely better than PS3/Linux. Probably just as good/probably better than PS3/homebrew.

# Desverger 2010-04-03 11:18
I too am kinda skeptical about the dns method, but it seems to work flawlessly. My theory is that it ether redirects you to a different sony server that doesn't check for the firmware version OR to a man-in-the middle server which MAY filter out passwords before it passes the packets onto a legit sony server with forged firmware versions. I'd imagine they'd need a beefy server to process all those PS3 logon messages without anyone experiencing lag, but it's very possible. Not sure what the point would be though, the worst thing they could do is purchase games on your account (so remove your visa from your account as a safety measure).

Anyone care to use a packet sniffer to figure out what's going on with that dns server?

Umm... just noticed, maybe someone else got this, too... if you ATTEMPT to update while connected to this DNS, it says you CAN'T... that you're already up to date... I double checked, I'm still running 3.15... and I'm "Up to date"... course, maybe the PS3 got smarter than Sony and realized removing features doesn't qualify as an update...

hello ...

i was hoping too for an April fool's joke! *sniff* ...

those who know me (well kindof) must also know that i'm against piracy (what am-i doing here then) because this site isn't against piracy but hacking LOL.

this update caused me a lot of trouble (backup-format-restore-update: nearly half a day in it)

yes i tried that 'magic IP' but as i only reserved the 10 Gb space & not using Linux, said to myself don't care for i'll be buying too many new games to cause myself some more troubles.

I'm really mad about this, but understand it. SONY made such MOVE (LOL) to prevent non-techy users having phat console to update & therefore the very few who wouldn't like the power users here won't be a big problem to control piracy when the PS3 is cracked.

So i accept this but hope they do update some day to support big hard-disk, other file system or direct format on the PS3 for backup purposes & also if they would give us back some linux support like possibility to run Live Distros & if they game Hypervisor access in the first place, there would be no need for someone to try crack the system. The lamda user wouldn't be an issue.

OK, i guess all runours about SONY aren't rumours in the end.

Noiw let me go back finish my 15th jobs on PS Life & shut down my new 'slim' PS3 in 'phat' skin (yet with BC, but for how long!?) ...

cheers!

Logan5's PS3 proxy/bypass tool: ERROR/CRASH SOLVED
1. After launching the tool, CHECK the "Firmware Update" button.
2. Start the Proxy.
3. Now before signing in UNCHECK the "Firmware Update" button on the LG5Tool and sign in without having to update!

Regards!

Actually an iso is a virtual cd/dvd that resides on a hard disk! And it can be anything you want!

What drives me nuts about the lg5tool is that the window doesn't have the minimize button. Really annoying always having that stupid window right there. How hard would it have been to add a simple minimize button?!? Anyone have the source code for this?

Anyone else try using the 67.202.81.137 way and not being able to use internet on their computer after? Is there a way where I can be on the internet and on PSN at the same time and able to play online?

I got Logan5’s tool to work with proxy, but got pissed off because PSN keepted disconnecting. So I upgraded to 3.21 which I regreat now. Hopefully when the ps3 gets hacked a software can be created to put the OS option back on.

we just have to be patient dude....
it can be something massive... or pretty much nothing,
but just keep on Believing... hopefully something comes up.

and just don't upgrade yet, lets give em sometime and see

Logan5 is working now, a slightly tweaked method of booting is required, just look 4 posts above by NEWAGE.

i have to admit, while LG5 was down i did try the DNS method, which also worked. but as mentioned by someone, i did make sure none of my credit card information was stored.

u guys can go to Account Management to edit that. cheers

Would they yes! The chances of it actually happening are slim. People were banned from PSN for doing the same thing except they were using a fake DNS with a proxy to play their own content in home and that only showed you your local media instead of the stuff streamed from home. It worked like this did except you had to use a router to look to a local IP for content instead of Sonys servers.

For those of you who are getting a run time error 5 from logan's tool. What worked for me is changing the port to lets say port:123. The reason for this is because 8080 is a common port and another program or service may be conflicting with it causing this really annoying error. I would not get logans tool to work all day until I changed the port number realizing this. Good luck, and I hope it works for everyone.

# kautz45 2010-04-06 07:01
Well, now i rather use the logans Tool than the DNS IP.
Yesterday, i tried the dns solution, but i think its unsafe in case of a man in the middle -attack.

So, now i change my PSN password. You should too.

The dns server works for the online games and loggin in, but they have blocked the PSN Store.
It says to me that the "country" where "I" live is blocked.

# morphix 2010-04-07 07:28
The way the 'magical' ip gets around the update check, it has playstation's DNS record pointing to its own webserver IP address where it hosts the ps3update text file that has the .pub file omitted.

@grmbl: I have squid and jesred... but this seemed to fail for me, it doesn't rewrite it as it should.

Maybe within their right but they can still be sued for selling a system which they said could run Linux and PSN and now it doesnt anymore.

So in which world isnt that a breach of agreement.

"To all the people out there waiting for CFW and Hacks, keep waiting. I’d like to see how code can defeat a hardware based encryption system without some sort of hardware mod."

You're an idiot... with the keys in place... all you have to do is make it "look" legit to the PS3... just like the PSP. You don't need new hardware to update normally, do ya? There ya go... it's all software... the only questionable aspect is PS2 on a PS3 SLIM... because it's supposed to be missing key components... And to think... the PS3 just went from the most secure system to quite possibly the most vulnerable...

Hell... I have internet and 3.15, no problem... and GeoHot already has custom firmware up and running... 3.21OO...

Ya... the PS3's secure days are over...

I've been having lots of problems playing MW2 online. I would be able to sign in play for about 2 minutes then get disconnected. I tested it again today and found out, I really need to click update firmware box first, then click start proxy, then unclick update firmware, then sign in. I was able to play a whole match without disconnection.

Doesn't matter if it was just one person. The PS3 was advertised as being able to run other operating systems and to log in on PSN. It doesn't do both anymore -- I must choose. That's a breach of contract and a violation of the law in several countries.
