PS3 Firmware Version Check Bypassed thread!

[CJPC]

Well, its possible that the "cn" inside the dns file COULD be canada, and not china (or the canadian one just connects to the US one) Its hard to tell w/o getting a network sniffer involved.

i'm thinking that in order to do the windows methods, i need a wireless router. is that true? i have a wired router and when i used the linux method, i got the following:

Checking user defined options... checking if --enable-debug option was specified... no checking if --enable-plugins option was specified... not supported checking for libpcap... yes checking for pcap_datalink_val_to_description in -lpcap... yes checking for libnet... no configure: error: libnet >= 1.1.2.1 not found [root@localhost ettercap-NG-0.7.3]#

instead of getting:

Functionalities: Debug mode ............. no Plugin support ......... yes Passive DNS ............ yes Perl regex in filters .. no Iconv UTF-8 support .... yes

any suggestions?

When I read about this last night I was so excited because I stopped updating and was dying to play online. Congrats to everyone that got this bypass working. I tried and tried but I've finally given up...If anyone would be willing to help me out I would greatly appreciate it. TY in advance

Set mine up using Jurai's instructions - used a wireless router and all works well. Thanks!

Guys i made it but everytime i started to download GTHD when it comes to %3 or 4 it says "an error ocured with network" always. I enabled UPnP on my Belkin wireless router at ps3's connection test UPnP fails?

One last thing the simple dns icon at the system tray blinks a green light not alway but sometimes is that normal? Waiting for your suggestions.

Yup, I got this too. CJPC provided some kind assistance (check the readme and some of the earlier posts to this thread). Basically you need to re-install two packages and possibly re-compile one of them. I'm guessing you are running FC5, so the commands below may need to be changed for other distros.

Open a terminal window.

1. Remove libtool and libtool-ltdl (if installed already)

> sudo yum remove libtool libtool-ltdl

2. Re-Install the packages libtool and libtool-ltdl

> sudo yum install libtool libtool-ltdl

3. Try re-running the ./configure --install-plugins
4. If it still doesn't work then recompile the libtool-ltdl package

> cd /usr/share/local/libtool/libtool-ltdl
> ./configure
> make
> sudo make install

5. Try the ./configure --install-plugins command. It should now work.

Not sure whats happened in FC5 but it looks like some of the packages including libtool are missing key files, recompiling the packages seems to fix the problem.

On a wider note, from reading some of the posts below it would appear some people are struggling to get this to work. I can confirm that the guide is indeed correct and the bypass works superbly (I have it running with no problems). ;-)

Word of warning though, make sure that your PS3 and your PC (running the DNS spoof) are on the same IP subnet with access. I had my PS3 originally in a DMZ and it caused all sorts of problems.
