PS3 Firmware Version Check Bypassed thread!

[classa]

i have followed both the windows guides and nothing. i get timedout errors, server errors and you need to update the system software

[Cez]

ugh, it keeps trying to get access to Simple DNS Plus but alas nothing comes up but an error code. I believe this has to do with my router any help would be appreciated.

ps: I'm using a linksys wrt54gs

Patience classa i'm having the same issues just take a few deep breaths and maybe someone will help you

[classa]

The reason i didn't update my ps3 when i got was i wanted the loader to work. I am on 1.10 firmware, and i want to sign up to the ps3 network and download demos without updating. HELP.

[ChrisWAFC]

a little off topic but does this allow a jap system to go on the europe gaming servers ?

Just a thought

I would just suggest putting in all of the addresses in the ettercap.dns file, that should cover everything.

Also, has anyone gotten ettercap working on windows? It always crashes when I try it...

Hi, just stumbled over this posting 5 min ago and decided to have a go at it but wanted to check what site names (FQDN) is used for updates - for those of you not sure which site is being looked up in the dns requests and are using Linux, you could run:

tshark -d udp.port==53,dns port 53

It may require that you already run your own DNS server (i.e. you run the above command on the server running DNS if your network is switched, which is most likely) in order to sniff the requests that your PS3 is issuing. You will then capture something along the lines of:

This will give you an indication of the names being looked up, such as:

fsa01.ps3.update.playstation.net

Good luck...

Yes, but we already went ahead and stuck all that are currently available and working (and some that will be in the next few months) at http://www.PS3News.com/etter.dns (you can open it with notepad), It lists (possibly) dev and final servers, to be safe, they are all there!
