What is the problem with 3.56+ firmware?

Looking at the files, and current facts you can draw the conclusion most 3.56+ consoles

A. Don't accept our signed pups.
B. Don't accept lv0, boot boot from lv0.2 instead.

Must be a good reason why we can't sign a pup for properly software downgrading of an old console. Maybe they changed something in the pups later on. Or something not yet understood?

Btw. someone asked the exact same thing on the dev wiki..

lv0.2 is not what I am asking for, I'm talking about FAT and hackable PS3.
Your first (A) has no evidence. I've unpacked and packed an original firmware and the PS3 with 4.25 accepted it. So we can repack PUPs for 3.56+..

Then i stand corrected. I don't know what is stopping us from modding lv2 (assuming FAT ps3/old BL) and creating a 'downgrade' PUP then. I guess some experimenting is required in this area. Perhaps version numbers are checked, and not all checks are known at this time? (lv0 has an internal version number, perhaps this is checked?)

I have not installed the PUP repacked. Maybe the check is when it start the install process. But I haven't a flasher, so I would not try to go ahead with the installation.

Anyway, as we can find keys for appldr in lv0, we can also reverse the code and replicate it for making a good PUP for 3.56+ console... (obvioulsly if there is a check in PUPs..)

3.56+ has a type of "integrity" check.
