PS3 Firmware 3.42 Bypass No Longer Working with Logan5 or DNS Trick

Submitted by greg; September 09, 2010

Several emails just came in, and more comments to back those up... It would seem Sony has hampered PSN access for those on 3.41 using the Logan5 PS3 Proxy Tool or Aaron's DNS trick (67.202.81.137). Still -- do not update -- unless you absolutely need or want PSN. If you update you'll lose all PSGroove/PSFreedom/PS JailBreak derived hacks. What's more important: hacks & homebrew or trophies & online gaming?

Tags: DNS Trick, Logan5, PS JailBreak, PS3 DNS, PS3 Firmware 3.42, PSFreedom, PSGroove, PSN, Sony

I don't understand why everyone is upset they've blocked access. I haven't updated my system nor do I intend to but can you really blame Sony for protecting their product?

Everyone is screaming that they want homebrew but in reality the primary focus has been piracy from the start. If you are going to pirate, fine, but don't get upset when they block you from going online with said backups and ruining things for the other legit players.

# hks 2010-09-09 12:57

what about the new games that need the newer FW??? any way to bypass that?

# wtf 2010-09-09 13:00

@pirategimpseat cock
what you doing on a ps3 hacking website you fag lol

# Alex 2010-09-09 13:01

Well what are you choosing ONLINE gaming with your disk based games that you bought or OFFLINE gaming with limited amount of games that actually work on ps3?
I am struggling to decide on what to do, I only own 1 game that I play constantly, it is NHL10. I only play online and now that I am cut off I will have to decide.

# Not Like You 2010-09-09 13:01

I bought a 250gb slim updated with a thumb drive and downloaded all my DLC last night with the DNS trick just in time. LOL

Sony can suck it.

I host websites and I would love to know exactly how that DNS trick worked, exactly, so I could do it for myself.

# martind69 2010-09-09 13:01

Try 4th sausage jokey

# Ronaldinho0927 2010-09-09 13:02

Idc really this is just even more of a motivator for hackers to create cfw =)

# whatever you like 2010-09-09 13:03

Mine still works with dns trick altough i haven't logged out since reading this can still play cod online so think i will stay logged in

# piratehack 2010-09-09 13:04

hay i love free games and f-u and the developers !!! oh a pirate life for me GRRRRRRR !!!

# Mark 2010-09-09 13:05

I never updated past 3.15 lol I wonder if this hack works on that firmware version cuz then I can use Linux and xlinkkai and if they can just make a patch so that u can play the latest games on an old firmware I'll be set !

# Alex 2010-09-09 13:06

Hopefully some one will come up with another DNS server or Logan5 will update hiss proxy tool so that we don't have to update. I AM WAITING for a miracle!!!!

# ossy 2010-09-09 13:07

im on 3.41 and still sign on, i hope no one disconnects my internet and i will never turn off my ps3, fuck you sony "ps3 is hacked"

# blueman 2010-09-09 13:08

I would pay but all the money goes tot eh publishers, and I dont want to line those greedy fuckers' pockets more than I want to.

# lumisi 2010-09-09 13:09

Bloody Wankers

# toxsik 2010-09-09 13:10

man i really need that psp port to come out :(

# whatever you like 2010-09-09 13:10

just tested ps store then went back to cod but it seems to be getting stuck at connecting to matchmaking server still got store access though,

# Butters 2010-09-09 13:12

Guys just use Xlink Kai to play online games with an LAN option on the game.

# stoemkieke 2010-09-09 13:16

damm :( I just updatet

# Shady 2010-09-09 13:20

Does it mean that all our PS3 got banned ??

# anonymous 2010-09-09 13:22

Yes. They Are, i was playing Call Of Duty - World At War online.. i wish i had stayed signed in now!

# anon 2010-09-09 13:22

I would like to see a hacked PSP simulate the jailbreak solution. I reckon it can be done. Just need someone with the right skills to deliver...

# anonymous 2010-09-09 13:23

i was playing Call Of Duty - World At War

# ossy 2010-09-09 13:25

you know what,i think sony cant tell if you are using backup manger to play games, why are they just trying to block it with just and update?

i dont mined have two ps3 and use one for online games and the other u knw for pirate, homebrew hacks etc =], coz still its well worth it.

# anonymous 2010-09-09 13:26

im watching eastenders

# Alex 2010-09-09 13:27

No, you still have an option to update.

# darkrisingx 2010-09-09 13:29

I enjoyed my new PS3 for 6 hours online playing cod mw2 till this happen. F**K Sony

# Shatta 2010-09-09 13:34

Screw Sony I have lived without online before I cud do without it now. The possibility of Mkv playback far outweighs anything else

# whatever you like 2010-09-09 13:37

okay i've had enough someone tell me what i need to learn to make the psp in to one of these things i'll work on it all night if i have to

# JB_lover 2010-09-09 13:37

Just wonder a little. Can Micro:soft sponsor some jailbreak and homebrew developers to hack Sony?

# FuLio 2010-09-09 13:40

Hey, I was wondering if my ps3 is hackable at firmware 3.40. I understood that it was hackable at 3.41.

# spawnofjago 2010-09-09 13:41

I think its time for some Custom Firmware!!!!

# Zim 2010-09-09 13:45

You mean we should buy a half arsed products, only to be inundate with major bug fixes on release day, sometimes even up to weeks later.

We then have the same game developers having the cheek to slap on an extra $20 for an "extra features, unlock code" to access content on the disk which should already be free to begin with.

Ok.

I hope this hack will be a big kick in the balls to the game developers. While I understand its a business they should at least play fair and sell games at fair prices.
They need to have a better fairer business model.

# G6 2010-09-09 13:49

If your browsing the net on a ps3, will Sony be able to detect if you have a hack ps3?

# guyfrommars 2010-09-09 13:55

Why are you so scrared about updating ?

Cant we downgrade the ps3 by using a new Hard Disk and install the FW 3.41 with an usb key ?

# HealyHQ 2010-09-09 14:02

BURN!

# Alex 2010-09-09 14:02

He's the same US boy that replied earlier with the anti-pirate form submitting name, he can't understand that there always will be pirates and he can do nothing about it. Nothing than buy games.
I also felt the same kind of thing when I was 8 and had 60+ original games in my collection. I even said "no" to a geek that suggested me to mod my Playstation for free at that time ('98). Where's that fucking time machine cinderella man?

This is the momentum I've always waited, I got my PS3 yesterday and I jailbroke it today. Have 9 games on it and I don't give a fuck to play 'em. I'm like a King and I feel anyone, who will reply with a sucky message to my own reply, my bitch! Don't be afraid, suck it!

# sauce 2010-09-09 14:05

@guyfrommars
Nope, you can't. The firmware is located in the internal memory independent from the HDD. Switching HDDs won't do the trick.

I have a question:
Let's say I have a device that is capable of "jailbreaking" my PS3. Is there a possibility that Sony will detect backup manager and homebrew applications that are on my HDD, after I have turned off the device?

# HealyHQ 2010-09-09 14:05

Bahahahaa! You actually bought that shit?! I pity you.

# anonymous 2010-09-09 14:08

No you cant downgrade because once you update your ps3 the system will ask for 3.42 firmware, but if you buy a brand new one you can still update by loading 3.41 firmware because the ones in the shop are still running software version 3.0 until sony recall them all.

# Alex 2010-09-09 14:09

I've given so much money for PS1 games that I am called a fucking collector. 95%+ of any PAL games are in my house. Why? I didn't fucking know! This is why I will never buy even a fucking demo disc for PS3 that comes for free with a magazine (they exist, don't they? Well, fuck it, who cares). It's like a nemesis...

# HealyHQ 2010-09-09 14:11

^ THIS!

Come on super hackers, you can do this! I'm rooting for you! PSP port next, please!

# HealyHQ 2010-09-09 14:12

Sucks for you. :(

# HealyHQ 2010-09-09 14:13

Again I say ^ THIS!
PSP port, any day now, kthxplz. :3

# HealyHQ 2010-09-09 14:14

Booya, brother! Power to the people!

# Alex 2010-09-09 14:17

Many developers port they games to both consoles. If these game development companies loose money/investments, either they will make games only for xbox360, which is also long time able to play pirated games, or bankrupt so MS have less game devs.

Sorry for my English, I'm american.

# ish 2010-09-09 14:17

Thank god i have to ps3's and an xbox (:

# HealyHQ 2010-09-09 14:17

If your PS3 is connected to the Internet in any way, then yes, they can detect it. I would recommend going into your network settings and disabling network access. Sony won't be able to do anything to you then. :)

# Alex 2010-09-09 14:18

Each of us should find a different exploit and never share it. This is the only way we won't get banned. Now I wake up.

# Alex 2010-09-09 14:19

I replied to the first guy, now fuck you anti piracy haters!

# pimpspter 2010-09-09 14:21

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Anyone any ideas as to *how* they've blocked the proxy trick working? That's the second time they've done it.....Perhaps we'll get some homebrews that can sniff what information is being sent to sony to allow us to analyse this a bit more and get to the bottom of it!

# asdasd 2010-09-09 14:22

people are not getting banned because of these exploits. They just cant use psn

# KAYKILLA 2010-09-09 14:22

rofl sony needs to give up already f**K PSN im not gonna update but shout outs goes to everyone who is working hard to smack sony in the face

# VeejaySperry 2010-09-09 14:26

i agree.. BTW C'mon psp port!! im waiting.. most of the gadgets can port psgroove now.. what happened to psp port??

# Skepticle 2010-09-09 14:26

Are you remotely smart enough to "find" a different exploit?

# sauce 2010-09-09 14:27

Thanks for the reply!
So the safest way to avoid getting banned is to remove anything suspicious from the harddrive before connecting to PSN again, right? Assuming there will be another workaround for the forced FW update...

# Dean 2010-09-09 14:27

fuk sony its bout time we got something back from em!

my bd-rom drive broke when i updated to 3.00 and along with hundreds other people after doing some googl'n sony dont accept that the update kills the drive... and want me pay £100 for them to fix it!

so i now have a fukin £450 doorstop! im still on 3.00 and intend to stay there until a hack comes out allowing me to play games directly from external without havin to use the drive ever!

# HealyHQ 2010-09-09 14:29

"Sorry for my English, I’m american."

LMFAO!

# Jack 2010-09-09 14:30

Endure.in Enduring,grow Strong.

# HealyHQ 2010-09-09 14:32

The safest way to avoid getting banned is to not ever take your PS3 online. The hack changes settings that DON'T exist on the hard drive. So even if you were to delete everything off the drive, it would still show to Sony as having been hacked before. Ultimately, we're faced with a choice: hacks and homebrews, or PSN and online gaming. We can't have both. :(

# Skepticle 2010-09-09 14:32

Who's telling you to buy them? I mean seriously what's your argument here? The Dev's provide a demo -- if it's shit, don't buy. When the game comes down in price, if it's worth the amount that it has come down to -- buy it then.
I'm going to mod my ps3 but I'm not saying fuck off to the developers -- I'll still pay 60 bucks for any game I think it's worth it. Anyone who doesn't do that hurts the industry. Also anyone who buys a game at 60 bucks and screams it's to expensive -- is a fucking idiot. Do your homework and wait till it comes down. Otherwise it was your decision, shut the fuck up.

# HealyHQ 2010-09-09 14:34

YES! PSP exploit, guys! We're rootin' for ya!

# Skepticle 2010-09-09 14:37

This is ridiculous.

You said: Is there a possibility that Sony will detect backup manager and homebrew applications that are on my HDD, after I have turned off the device?

---- No. Sony can not read the hard drive of the PS3 when it is off. You are safe.

# HealyHQ 2010-09-09 14:37

Well, you CAN have both if you buy a second PS3, and use THAT one for legit PSN gaming while keeping your other one hacked and offline. That's the only other option right now.

# HealyHQ 2010-09-09 14:39

No, they can't detect what's on the drive. They CAN detect the firmware settings that were changed the moment you hacked the PS3. They may not be able to see what's on the drive, but it's clear as day to them that it's been hacked before. You can't hide that when connected online.

# bruno 2010-09-09 14:39

can i have my OtherOS function back thru homebrew ? PSUBUNTU will be back ?

# HealyHQ 2010-09-09 14:41

And by "turning off the device" I think he meant the device used to hack the PS3, not the PS3 itself. But either way, yeah, once you hack the console, it'll show as having been hacked to those security checks they've been passing to stores. I think within the next month, there are going to be bannings of all those who weren't smart enough to disconnect their hacked PS3's from the internet.

# Anonymous 2010-09-09 14:41

I say PSN for sure!
My point-of-view.

# jorgebus 2010-09-09 14:45

# jim 2010-09-09 15:06

What’s more important: hacks & homebrew or trophies & online gaming?

trophies and psn is more important. im level 14 in the trophies ,and i dont going to lose that
and online gaming is the best just think COD without online gaming!! is nothing!!

# Kashin 2010-09-09 15:07

We need men like Jack to lead us in these dark times, however, it's quite likely in the end he'll just tell us that we have to go back. Right, Jack? We have to go back, right? WE HAVE TO GO BACK, JACK!

# Roger Dodger 2010-09-09 15:14

Same thing with me. I spent 175, got it back and have stuck it on 3.15 and hunkered down and waited. As soon as my Teensy++ is here, I am going to make sure I earn a little of that money back they took. 60GB, bought for 600 USD and THEN you are going to blame me for the FW issues and take part of my 600 USD away in otheros? I will be playing a little dirty myself, but this time with their money. Especially after the addition of the peeking and poking (thanks Geohotz) to the packages, we have a totally open machine!

# Roger Dodger 2010-09-09 15:16

Great. Update now and if you have hacked your ps3 with a device, please send it to someone who doesn't have one. Thanks!

# Asgiov 2010-09-09 15:39

At least Sony doesn't take the Ban Hammer route.
They will likely just keep deal with this like the PSP and simply lock us out of their online service through firmware updates.

It actually makes more sense than outright
Banning consoles....

# erkschr 2010-09-09 15:40

lol sorry to tell you but all the new all of duty's are nothing(yes even 4). same game made 10 years ago with better graphics. "oh i can't wait to play black ops" is what i here people say ever day at my job but "I'm sorry to tell you but you already own this game, its called world at war"

# erkschr 2010-09-09 15:40

only thing is that world at war takes place 20 years earlier

# Brick 2010-09-09 15:41

It's not gonna be long anyways, guys. When it all goes to court, Sony's EULA will get brought up in court, including OtherOS getting removed. That shit has never flown in America. That why all the court hearings from the lawsuits on 3.21 are still active.

There are limitations on the PSP that is making it hard to port psgroove over. Its still in work but its not easy as it is with open devices.

time goes by

# zipzap 2010-09-09 16:11

Simple quick question:

In the "/Gamez" directory does it really matter to have the game folder have the Game ID number as the name? Or can you just name it anything you want?

# Moo 2010-09-09 16:17

Time to buy another PS3 then sell it afterwards!?

# bonetoke 2010-09-09 16:25

no you've got to name the folder with the game's ID, if u've got a prob knowing the ID there is always gamefaqs.com :)

# zipzap 2010-09-09 16:41

I just tried it for myself on two different games and named them something different than the ID and it worked fine...

# Shady 2010-09-09 16:46

O_O well i am still waiting for the psp port and i dont care for psn... but the problem is i originally brought my PS3 for LBP... and LBP2 is gonna be released soon... i wonder if i will update when the game is released i dont even know :(

# Bob 2010-09-09 16:50

I used ps32iso to change an iso game to the right files so the backup manager can open it, but every time I click on it it say's the game eboot.bin is not valid, can't lauch. Anybody get this problem or know what to do? Thanks!

# zipzap 2010-09-09 16:53

Yep same here. I only get that problem when I get them in .iso format then convert it. The only games that work for me are the ones that say they are compatible for PS Jailbreak.

I currently have 3.41 and hesitant to update because of the possibility of not ever hacking my PS3. I'm trying to convince the wife that we need to sell the Wii (never play it) to afford another PS3, unfortunately it's not working!
My question is: if I upgrade the internal hard drive, will I be required to update the firmware, most likely the newest version? I might toy with the possibility of selling it later for a profit because I kept 3.41! :)

# anonymous 2010-09-09 19:55

No, you dont have to update to the latest version 3.42 if you have the 3.41 update on a memory stick you can update to that version via usb

Quick question fellaz,

I remember when buying GTA IV and Drakes Fortune 2 that when playing for the first time, the system demanded I did a firmware update in order to play. How are we going to deal with situations like that going forward?

# Jopps 2010-09-10 03:35

think the only option is to buy another ps3 for online/new titles that require update im thinking Gran Turismo 5 will have a forced update. Hopefully someone comes up with a custom firmware with dns fix removed or its new ps3 time.

# whatever you like 2010-09-10 04:58

it only works for online gaming it sets up lan games so your playstation doesn't even touch sony servers and only games that have a lan option can be set up

# daps 2010-09-10 06:39

jesus christ.....chat chat chat....this is the reason that logans and dns was removed...because nobodys shuts up..understand that sony themselves are viewing all these sites......my advice to all is if you see a way in dont yap about it like an old woman on a garden fence.....dont come on here saying......OMG IT WORKS!!!!!.....idiots only do that.....keep it on the dl......
my respect goes to all that are involved in creatng these ways to allow us to play online and backup games.....but as for all the twats that mess it up....i do really hope you update and your ps3 catches fire....burns up and the fumes from the 3.42 kills your dog,your cats and the budgie..but on the real...SHUT UP AND ENJOY IT DONT BROADCAST IT......like all the idiots that were on the so called mw2...talking about it....idiots...

# rodogg 2010-09-10 07:16

you go girl

# John 2010-09-10 08:22

Can sony still block you if you're running the PS3 in nromal mode, without the exploit, and with the backup manager unninstalled?

# Hezz 2010-09-10 09:09

don't update just play lan games over xlink network
simple...

# SS 2010-09-10 09:46

I wanted to ask the same as John....

# francis 2010-09-10 11:03

if sony brings back ps2 emulation and otheros feature on ps3 slim, then I am happy cake. But since their strategy is to strip the ps3 features off... homebrew > trophies...

# anonymous 2010-09-10 11:07

i've noticed that you can download life with playstation running firmware 3.41 without being signed into the ps3

# anonymous 2010-09-10 11:28

i've downloaded the life with playstation app from here: http://deu01.ps3.download.play...

i'm going to try installing it with PSGroove

# anonymous 2010-09-10 11:34

it just errors lol

# hrrrm 2010-09-10 11:58

I do agree with the first post kind of, and kudos to him/her for not going "FIRST!!!!!" lol

but the thing is, I would rather not just insult people on here and bring their pets into this and PS3s catching fire and all that shit. thats funny but unnecessary.

the point is, we have active discussions in here where hackers (who Sony is at war with, make no mistake about that) are openly discussing their options and next move strategies and whatever exploits are found. In the meantime Sony is keeping tabs on this stuff, and even hiring people to engage in psychological warfare (psy ops) on here and discredit valid ideas, throw people off track, make our most useful hacker assets leave the scene out of disgust, etc etc. Over half the people that were yelling at Geohot to "MAKE LOADER PLZ!!! FASTER FASTER!!!" and calling him a loser and all that other stuff, were most likely Sony psy ops. They know if they pester all the volunteer hackers we have trying to develop hacks for the scene, that eventually those hackers will get sick of the pressure and the bs and just leave, which is exactly whats been happening.

I would like to see Greg make a section of this site that is password only, and allow only a certain flow of traffic to enter there. It could be limited to those who have already proven themselves as contributors to the scene, it could be restricted to developers only, or maybe have a fee (something small like a dollar a month or even a penny, just so people have to use their credit cards), and then make a disclaimer that any affiliates or employees of Sony are not welcome inside that area and that if it is discovered that they breach that area they will face some form of legal prosecution. I dont know if you can get away with that but it would be nice, and even if you dont want to threaten Sony or charge people money, just the idea of a password area and limited traffic (you would have to apply to get in, not just sign up for a password), could severely cut down on Sony's intervention. Other related websites like PS3hax would have to go along with it too. It is in the best interest of everyone in the scene to think this through and realize that Sony is actually willing to hire people to invade these forums. You cant just stick your heads in the sand and ignore the problem.

# daps 2010-09-10 14:25

my bad......i dont mean any harm to anybody and their pets...but im sure you get the drift....a bit of fun has to be put into the comments....but understand that i do get annoyed when people spend so much money on the consoles only to complain on the price of the games...and if indeed a way is found to enable users to to back up games be it their own or not...to go on to moan about the price of the jailbreaks...and look for ways around it just to save money...we all knew how much games would cost....so stop moaning is all i say.....and keep the broadcasting of ways around to a minimum.....but your words are truly taken and understood....

# Prime 2010-09-10 19:24

Sony would discover anything the scene does, don't be surprised if some of the people inside the hacking scene are paid Sony employees (or devotees).

Just a matter of the scene keeping up to date and progressing, Sony could be smart and start giving people what they want but thats not gonna happen.

In time people WILL crack the ps3 sec-code completely open and Sony will just haft to accept that some people will be pirates (Sony's target / bottom line goal $$$$), and will just need to police the network for those cheating bastards that plan to use home-brew to cheat in games like COD6 etc.. Just means adopting more security checks.

Homebrew will sell more PS3 consoles and likely bring more people to the ps3 whom will on occasion buy a ps3 game (we all do at some stage). Problem I think with companies these days is they want and desire people to spend ALL their money earned on buying titles, this is a very non-practical way to estimate the bottom-line, Just gotta accept that a pirate will buy maybe 1 Ps3 title per 9 they pirate and often those same people are VERY unlikely to buy those 10 titles if they couldn't pirate them.

Honestly all the people I have met whom work and have a decent income buy their titles because they can.. allot of pirates are poor as fck uni students/bums so they really never affect the bottom-line much anyway and their spending on genuine titles is pretty unpredictable and not very often (1-2 titles a year!).

Basically I can see cheaters and hackers of the PSN network being the real problem, not John Bum Uni student whom can't afford the titles anyway. Hopefully Sony doesn't get too carried away focusing on patching up to prevent backups being used, meanwhile the cheating/hacking groups move in because security INGAME has not been looked at.

# Prime 2010-09-10 19:34

Just goes to show that allot of people have money issues really. Funny how its those same people pirating titles.

# loitha 2010-09-10 21:38

Anyone can help?

# loitha 2010-09-10 21:40

Anyone can help me..
I really want to hack this thing..

# Magicbos82 2010-09-11 08:55

You cant it does not work like that. just google the JAILBREAK and read. there are may way this can be done but just using a usb stick is, unfortunately not one of them.

# Adam 2010-09-11 09:53

daps, people come to the website to here about PS3-Hacks. If your asking them not to talk about it, they may as well shut the website down now.
ffs, come on.

# anonymous 2010-09-11 11:00

i think that the best hack that we could hope for at the moment is a way to use the same internal hard drive in a second console running firmware 3.42 that way any trophies earned in a offline backed up game could be synced online with the second console maybe?

# daniel piteira 2010-09-11 11:21

i have update my ps3 to 3.42. it's any downgrade possible to pass to 3.41? sorry my english lool

# anonymous 2010-09-11 13:27

how long it takes to find a way to bypass the 3.42 update and use backup manager? please answer,i really wanna hack this thing,i don't like to spend money on games ...

# daps 2010-09-11 15:20

i believe in what hrrrm has said...to all true hackers or followers of the scene...a fee should be taken to allow only certain individuals to have the information...as some just repeat what we already know......im a newbie to the ps3 hack scene....but am well known in the wii scene....and to be honest adam......some indviduals do make our lives harder....we do all d his free of charge and pass on info.(FOR FREE)....if it was down to me.....take the information given and use it...dont start asking this and that about it...and asking why and how this happens......ITS FREE AND IT WORKS.....ENJOY IT.....
to all....you yourselves should try and do something to help the scene.....not take and then moan....

ill leave this alone now as it is done and dusted....BRING FORTH THE CFW

# daps 2010-09-11 15:24

there is no way to downgrade back to 3.41 (YET)///

these comments dont help

how long it takes to find a way to bypass the 3.42 update and use backup manager? please answer,i really wanna hack this thing,i don’t like to spend money on games

about how long does it take???

try doing it yourself..if you want it so bad......you want to hack......you aint hacking nothing...your being given info on how to do it...
stop being selfish and give respect where its due

# Dre 2010-09-12 02:49

Hello I am new to this homebrew seen, my ps3 is on 3.15 and I have a usb on the way. Should I leave my ps3 on 3.15 or should I update to 3.40 or 3.41 ? Thanks

# anonymous 2010-09-12 03:28

No. you need to go out and buy a new playstation 3 the ones in the shops are still running firmware 3.30 (until sony recalls them all or they sell out first) and update with 3.41 firmware on a usb memory stick

# Paultje 2010-09-12 08:26

If you update to 3,42 you cannot use the jailbreak... anymore...

So...... if you want to go on PSN (online) you MUST update the thing... and you cannot jailbreak it anymore...

So thats the problem, ore single player and jailbreaked, ore online with latest firmware and no jailbreak anymore

I havent mine jailbreaked, but i dont want to update because its buggy

# Paultje 2010-09-12 08:27

And problem 2 is: if we can find a option to bypass 3,42 on internet, sony will also find the trick on internet...

So we must find a way... by ourself whehehehhehe

# Dre 2010-09-12 09:00

So I am fine to update from 3.15 to 3.41 and then jailbreak when my usb comes ?

# sonny 2010-09-12 09:28

What happend to, disables forced sony updates. with all these ps jailbreaks and clones.

Anything to sell a product. lol

God help anyone who pays for this and then there is a hidden update on a game disk.

How many ps3s will you buy before you give up ? lol

lesson will be learned money down the draina nd you can't cry for somthing that was stolen to start with.

shame on you ! YES, you you know who i'm talking to . lol

# Wormcult 2010-09-12 12:55

there is a downgrade trick using the debug menu after (i think) intentionally sabotaging your current firmware somehow (you have to brick it i think) and then the debug menu lets you install the last known firmware version you had installed before that one. in theory a person could upgrade to 3.42 and then when 3.43 comes out just go back to 3.41 and then go from 3.41 to 3.43 and then back to 3.41 before the next upgrade, and so on.

# hrrrm 2010-09-13 01:00

thanks daps :)

I would be a hypocrite if I tried to say I wasnt looking forward to backing up some stuff, but I am actually really hoping for some amazing stuff to happen that can take us all to places Sony would never go. I'd like to see some AO homebrew, maybe some messed up clone of HOME where you can injure other players (kind of like in 'Society' in the movie GAMER). I'd love to see some pro audio music apps and drum machines, sample editors, synths, and maybe something that lets people work on music together across a network of PS3s. I'd really love to be able to edit copies of GTA4 and make myself indestructible for online gaming just to mess with people and be god-like haha. I would absolutely love to have some modified version of Little Big Planet or something very similar in its GUI, so that we can design our own games without having to know programming and then save them as actual PS3 isos that we can post for people to download and share. It would be cool to have an alternative to PSN, if anyone was able to create such a thing. Who knows, maybe there's a way to create an app based on the Life app, where all the hacked PS3s could be linked when not in use, and combine into an alternative game server platform people with hacked consoles can use to play online without PSN. If that doesnt work we could always try combining them into a super computer and use it to take over the world...heheheh

# hrrrm 2010-09-13 01:04

and I really think we should start thinking of that by the way...alternatives to PSN. they are always going to do whatever they can to keep hacked consoles off that thing, even if it means shutting down PSN entirely in the interest of 'maintenance'. Due to all the personal and financial information like credit cards and such, it would be too much of a liability for them as a company to allow end user consoles with breached security to enter.

# Kronusx12 2010-09-13 11:48

If you upgrade to 3.42+ how exactly do you expect to get to the debug menu? seeing as how the exploit is patched in 3.42

# Paultje 2010-09-15 16:25

If you put the thing to 3.41, you have no functions...

3.42 is needed to go on PSN (online)

Its so fucked, for all the linux users etc.

Sony says:
We got a lot users that are angry because they cannot use linux anymore...

There are a lot people that uses other os every day........

So sony is working on something, to use other os..., but...................

Dont know what i must do.... i want to play online.... but games are very expensive and i throw it away after weeks...

# daps 2010-09-15 19:09

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR SAYING.....BUT READING HELPS...why do the same questions get asked over and over again.....hat i mean is that instead of having ideas and broadcasting before the deed is done gives sony the heads up on what to block next even before its put out.....logans was around at the 3.15 but not a lot was mentioned.....but due to the hype of the jailbreak and the new 3.42 update logans and the dns were talked of non stop......remember too many cooks spoil the broth...just one using some common sense is what is being asked.....and to finish....the jailbreak team are cooking something up....NOBODY KNOWS WHAT IT IS (INCLUDING SONY)hence how can something be stopped if its not known....

# TYLER 2010-09-17 01:20

QUESTION, What would happen if you hacked your ps3 using 3.41, AND THEN you had a second hard drive that you swapped in and updated to 3.42 and played online, in theory couldnt you swap back to your other hard drive and still have all the hacked stuff, and then when you want to play online swap back to the other hard drive? anyone know if this idea could work?

# TYLER 2010-09-17 01:31

Um its any android phone basically that can hack it, not just the OVER advertised droid

# RednexRblu 2010-09-21 03:16

Firmware updates are stored on a flash chip in the PS3, not on the hard drive. If it were as easy as flipping a hard drive out, everyone would have done it by now.

# Blind Faith 2010-09-22 23:53

Say, would you like a chocolate covered hacker flip possessing your credit card details? It's Amazing how MS have not been effected by a simple disc drive firmware update to allow backups? Wii has Homebrew yet still sells? Sony seems to have been effected by the convenient recession. You know that one that makes the Humans amoungst the Lizards poor. I sadly like a silly chimp updated the day before finding out about jailbreak, i have not and will not update to 3.43 just encase. Like others have mentioned, Sony need to grow and start respecting those that allow them to exist. Stripping us of promised and advertised features such as Other o/s is not right and for what? Most of the Sony Fanboys can suck my balls if they disagree that MS are more reasonable and have had better online game access since the original Xbox. Anyone here have a Ps2 modem? I do and would still like to know if it was ever intended to work as a modem or shelf space. LONG LIVE THE SEGA DREAMCAST lol

# BLONDIE 2010-12-11 15:32

hi jailbreaking friends

there is a way u can downgrade the ps3 slim , only works on slim because fat saves firmware on separate chip
slim saves on ur internal hardrive because this was to save as much space as possible so they could make the slim as small as possible
so either replace ur hardrive in ur slim or totally format ur hardrive using ur pc don't do it via the playstation menu as it will delete everything but the firmware so use ur pc delete everything off ur hardrive store game saves on pc then put them back to ur playstation hardrive search ur hardrive on ps for fw and what firmware ur currently on u might find it easyier that way

# brades 2011-01-27 04:09

what do u put the dns in the primary or the secondary

# crazy dude 2011-01-28 16:39

you can use dns primary and secondary 67.202.81.137. i'm using original firmware 3.55 and it worked. i don't know if it works on cfw's. i want to know if i download content on psn using this method will i get my account banned? and yes! i know it can be a rhetorical question.

# crazy dude 2011-01-28 16:45

i forget to say. go to definitions/internet/custom mark everything automatic except dns definitions witch you mark manual and put the custom dns.
