PS3 Firmware Update 3.42 is Now Available, Details Incoming

Category: PlayStation 3 & PSN News  By: PS3 News - (us.playstation.com)
Tags: ps3 firmware 3.42 ps3 firmware update 3.42 ps3 update blocks ps jailbreak

141w ago - Update: Several users who updated to PS3 Firmware 3.42 have now confirmed (along with Sony directly) that Sony has indeed added 'additional security features' and patched the PS3 exploit used for PS JailBreak, PSGroove and PSFreedom as expected so it is advised you do NOT update if you plan to use them.

For those who just signed in to PlayStation Network, PS3 Firmware update 3.42 is now available to download.

Download: PS3 Firmware 3.42 Update (US) / PS3 Firmware 3.42 Update (EU)

While we can speculate on whether Sony blocked PS JailBreak with it, etc feel free to grab it below and report in the comments any changes you notice and we will update the news accordingly.

It has been answered. Look harder ^^

The firmware isn't stored on the hard drive, try it yourself: Changing the Hdd doesn't change your firmware.

If you meant one Hdd for backups and one for "official" play, the issue remains the same, as you'll have to update to play the official way, killing the jailbreak in the process...

But again...because no one as reply... Is it possible or not to have 2 hard drives one for hack backup (offline) and other for the original $ony firmware (online)?

anyone tested?

The reason the hack no longer works is the same reason that it doesn't work on 3.15 ( guessing) the location of the exploit has been changed and as such the exploit tries to load however patched the wrong location. We just need to find the right location again.
