PS3 Firmware Update v3.55 Arrives, Adds Security Patch

Category: PlayStation 3 & PSN News  By: PS3 News - (blog.us.playstation.com)
Tags: ps3 firmware update ps3 system software ps3 firmware 3.55 ps3 security patch

128w ago - Update: CodeTwink has confirmed that PS3 Firmware update version 3.55 blocked access to lv2 kernel "execute" access, however, if you can patch back in a method to lv1_write_htab_entry, you can re-enable this area.

Today Sony Network Operations Americas VP Eric Lempel has announced that PS3 Firmware update v3.55 has arrived and simply adds a security patch.

Download: PS3 Firmware Update v3.55 (US) / PS3 Firmware Update v3.55 (EU)

More details are posted below, and to quote: "A new PS3 system software update, v3.55, will be released soon. This is a minor update that adds a security patch."

As expected, the PS3 Firmware 3.55 update works with the E3 Card Reader so you are still able to put the PS3 in Factory/Service Mode, however, Sony has revoked lv2diag.self file_1 patching the ability to downgrade (via PSDowngrade or PSGrade) or JailBreak PlayStation 3 consoles on Firmware above version 3.50.

Currently it is possible for PS Downgrade / JailBreak users to exit the PS3 Factory/Service Mode and get back to a normal Retail PS3 console using the lv2diag.self file_2.

Finally, although not recommended for PS3 homebrew fans, PS3 Firmware 3.55 is a mandatory update for those seeking to use PSN.

While some have reported the various bypass methods are temporarily working, more promising solutions include PS3 hackers continuing work on decrypting PS3 Firmware 3.50 with version 3.55 next in their sights.

If you want to Jailbreak - leave them on 3.41.

It's not that I need a ps3 with 3.41 I still have one with 3.50 im just not gonna update it and wait for my e3 card reader to come in the mail and downgrade it to 3.41, while buying a ps3 to keep updated online thank you Bishoff for the info tho

Wow, can't wait to see the change log on this.

At least we'll see more frequent updates now with the scene taking off.
