PS3 Firmware Update 3.42 is Now Available, Details Incoming

[lyoth]

I turn on my ps3 to watch some top gear, and what I get is an update. Go to HELL update.

Does anyone here have a dongle?

I know you won't be able to run it as the dongle has been blocked but perhaps the software still shows.

As the original exploit was for 3.41 *perhaps* sony have not blocked the dongle completely?

If they remove the dev/debug mode, then they will also have a hard time in repair centers. I would imagine it's just another workaround.

This is sony we are talking about. They refuse to believe that their FIRST handheld, in the form of the psp, could have failed without piracy. I wouldn't put it past them to cut their own foot off just to stop it. They have been acting rather scared.

Here's to hoping its just a temporary patch. Will be hard finding/confirming a ps3 with the right firmware when i want to buy.

isnt the jailbreak/psgroove only meant to work on 3.41? since sony has updated the firmware, of course it wont work due to the fact the it just isnt supposed to. the offset has been changed, we have to wait until someone changes it to work with 3.42 to truly see if sony did patch it

EDIT: just saw JonahUK's post above lol

uhhh didn't that stuff not work anymore... hence why i havn't been online with my 3.15 for ages.

I believe they've been working ever since 3.21 (the OtherOS killa).

Given corporate lazyness and general ineptitude I wouldn't be surprised if they just blacklisted usb hw/vendor ids transmitted from psjb/psgroove.

Are you sure? I'm on the last firmware before otherOS was gone and i can't seem to get it working? Maybe there's user error but its just cant work for me.

would be GREAT if that were the case, then it would be a simple edit of the code...

could anyone confirm logan5/ps3 proxi 1.1 , or any of the other firmware bypass check methods for online gaming capability? do not care for store redirect.
