Well, this is interesting it appears are friends at Gitbrew are working on a possible 3.56+ exploit. From the QA Flag PKG, to the downgrade method by these fellas, it would be very interesting to see if they can pull it off.

nice that will be cool hopefully they will not release it if they find anything and they will wait for 3000 series
06-27-2011
09:26 AM
I don't think they should have announced that. Theres already a bunch of people annoying them over this
06-27-2011

That's a good look.

"DOS THIS MENA 3.66 FW?!"
@hackboiz29: I agree fully. Should keep a lid on it until release. This is just going to agitate the already-shark-infested waters of the scene.
*braces for a fresh rush of newbs to the scene*

wouldnt matter, if that ps3 has different hardware to stop it from be exploited
06-27-2011
10:51 AM
working does not mean that they find anything.
also i will say even if they find anything, it doesn't mean that users that are on 3.60 or 3.65 can use it, it depends on the exploit, it might be an exploit that only us 3.55 users might be able to use it, and then update.

sony is dumb look at the psp scene they still haven't learnt anything
06-27-2011
11:01 AM
Whatever happened to the dualbooting theory that was posted a while back ?
06-27-2011
11:02 AM
The 3.55 -> 3.56 update was a little step for the FW security making it possible to hack. the 3.56 -> 3.60 update was a big step in security, making it very difficult to hack.
That is why they only mention 3.56 and not higher

well i suppose we can hope and prey that it will actually work.
ani im hoping for more stuff to come from the QA hack.
06-27-2011

this is really great news to wake up and read.
and yes people leave them be. let them do their work and not be bothered.
06-27-2011
11:48 AM
i just hope if it's something that works on ps3s already on 3.56+ they wait until Sony puts out a firmware with something useful and not waste it on the FWs we have now that have nothing but extra crap security

I'd say "Good luck and GO GET'EM TIGERS !!!"
as far as letting them be.... I realy hope everyone will let them do their best and not mess around with users spamming them with questions...

01:28 PM
don't you think its a little too late for a 3.56 exploit?
06-27-2011
01:32 PM
It's never late for a new exploit as if i'm not wrong, the exploit might be available on 3.6X

As long as a way for me to downgrade is found, you already know I'm fine with that, ya dig?
06-27-2011
01:41 PM
i wish there was a way to put like a screen block so kids don't accidentally update.
But i know the fine ppl here will find a way all it takes is time.
i just hate going through threads and having to read things not related to ne thing that is in the title. (like this)

I already told you B!itch's you get no water till Annelies can downgrade to OFW 3.55, now Keep digging!
06-27-2011
02:55 PM
Big question is if they use 3.55 CFW (with QA?) as a base making already updated PS3's still unhackable.
Now I will silence about newer CFW's before some respected mods start complaining

3.6 keys would have been released a loooong timme ago if it wasn't for $ony being faaaags... they are willing to forget about our personal data being breached but never let hackers open up the ps3.
and i can't believe that NO ONE will release a 3.6 cfw anonymously without some attention... g*y.. <_<

Interesting... Have a theory for a new exploit for 3.56+. Testing it in a bit.
was posted hours before the twits u posted
thought u might find this one intersting aswell

Flame me all you guys want, but I just want up to date CFW by the time Sonic Generations comes out.
edit: yes yes i know this has nothing to do with cfw but still
06-27-2011
04:00 PM
It's pretty simple, just dont let them use it :D
Dont let them take it online and disable the bluray drive. This way they cannot accidentally update it going online or by inserting a new game.
Or you could buy a 2nd ps3, this way have one for official use and one for cfw. I dont see how so many people think they can always have both forever. I knew sony would block any hacks so I have 2 consoles.
If you cannot live without going online then forget about cfw and stay on ofw. If you dont care about online, then install cfw and make sure your kids know not to update no matter what; and if they do then you can ban them from using it as punishment.

PS3 devs = Phenomenal! Stay Anonymous and don't let Goliath scare anyone away from what is rightfully ours in the first place! Showtime and MultiMAN (w/o the back up capability, even though that is awesome!) is so well worth telling $ony to shove their PSN. C'mon, if you wanna play multi-player, x-link kai or XBSlink is always a great alternative, even if cheaters run rampant. Great work ladies and gentlemen.

i hope to god its possible.... good luck

All I can say is wait and see, no use speculating about it.
06-27-2011
06:08 PM
All of this should of been hush hush for the time being. In my opinion that is....
I'm sure all you guys stuck on 3.56+ are happy for the news tho, congrats!

06-27-2011

And to honest i will not buy another PS3 and support Sony. i been stuck on 3.56 for a hot min. but i borrowed my friend ps3 and jailbroke it and kept it lol. i told him it was shot. it was funny. he loves online. i can careless for it.

on the poll question yes i installed QA flagging just to try it but i decided to go back to rebug 3.55.1 with rebug menu and menu option 2
love it no hex editing any save game files sorted
06-27-2011

im hoping that it will support the slim models i have a cech- 2501-A

of course it will.
06-27-2011
09:27 PM
i was just wondering why is this front paged dont get me wrong but isnt it a possible 3.56= exploit im sure as soon as people see this they will go nag them or sony will stop them this should have been waited till they released
06-27-2011
09:38 PM
I wonder if this potential exploit involves QA flagging on an exploitable firmware first.
Anyway this is great news let's just hope that the question asking masses will give them peace to tinker and explore. Let's hope this is the start of something!

I just don´t know I´m tweeting with Gitbrew right now, so that they can Test it

so what the scoop jack real or fake ????
06-28-2011
07:16 AM
So no they´ve discovered the Keys on Efnet and checked if they work but nope the Private Key is False
06-28-2011
07:27 AM
look no ones is getting these keys unless they use a brute force attack good luck with that or find another exploit!
06-28-2011
08:06 AM
OF course its false!!! god damn the private key can't be calculated, how many times have i said this? the crypto problems are now fixed :S just get the other keys and add them to the 3.55 appldr.
06-28-2011
08:18 AM
Or focus on cracking the boot loader process mltdr key is the one which could end the relentless cat and mouse.
At least that is the impression I've been given - if that one is cracked then Sony don't have the option of introducing new keys....

is the hack gonna be for 3.56 1 or 3.56 2
07-01-2011

Hell no its not, how dare you besmirch my site in such away.
The site is a Rick Roll site, i created it, so i can guarantee that it has zero viruses, it has about two files one is a video and one is the script to make it work, what it does is pop up a Rick Astley video and when you try and close it, it pops up a message saying HaHaHaHa, nothing bad or illegal in it.

07-17-2011
03:55 PM
so my PS3 came on the 3.55 and I accidentally upgraded it to the 3.56. If I format the system? What happens? does it go back to the old 3.55 it was?? and how long are we gonna wait for the hack on the 3.56?????
07-17-2011
03:57 PM
you are stuck there now until anything is found/released.
no ETA, no promises. just be patient and wait. formatting will achieve nothing
07-17-2011
03:58 PM
You are out of luck and will have to wait patiently for a downgrade. It is recommended by Gitbrew to remain on 3.56 if possible do not update to 3.6X.
