PS3 CFW 3.56 By Dustinpl47: Confirmed FAKE

"Since I getting tried of deleting these 3.56 CFW threads, merging them, closing them, and banning idoits claiming it is real, I decided to move this to the FRONT PAGE as a SOLID WARNING to all out there in the PS3 'scene' world!"

!!! DON'T BE SCAMMED, DON'T BE FOOLED, IF SOMETHING DOES APPEAR THAT IS REAL,
IT WILL BE RIGHT HERE LIKE ALWAYS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF:
PSX-SCENE, THE OLDEST AND MOST TRUSTED PLAYSTATION SCENE SITE !!!

Hopefully, you've reading this thread before any of the other one that have not been deleted yet or cached by Google, or on other lame PS3 fly-by-night scene sites relating to a certain '3.56 CFW' from a couple of lamers by the names of dustinpl47 and theratedgamerz.

Despite scores of level-headed valued PSX-Scene members attempts to WARN everyone against this nonsense, people are still posting it all over the internet - well, I guess proof is what's needed - and proof is what you're going to get.

This is from BobbyBlunt, a moderator over at PS3 Hax. He decided to be a good sport and volunteer as a 'tester' for the supposed 3.56 CFW - and what he found was very interesting.

I was amongst the first three people to be sent the firmware via email. Well instead of running off and flashing like they expected I decided to compare OFW 3.56 and his CFW 3.56. The only difference between the two was the fact the version.text was changed. All files were identical to that of the 3.56 OFW. They claim to be doing a full scale release today. If you look this is what the xmb will say when the update is found.

Also they are now claiming I was not a tester but to prove otherwise here is a copy of the email recieved:

thank you for expressing your interest and risking an entire console for the good of others!
Here are some things to know:

if you do not know how to install an update on a ps3 via storage media, BACK OUT NOW.

YOU MUST BE ON 3.55 OR LOWER TO INSTALL THIS. I know. It blows. But that is the way it is.

Please do not leak this file or password to download.

You are ASKED to report any problems back to me and provide me your console's serial number located on the white stick beginning with "CECH"

The faster this is completed, the faster the release comes out.

WHILE WE HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THIS, BRICKING IS A POSSIBILITY!!!

MANY HOMEBREW APPLICATIONS HAVE NOT BEEN SIGNED FOR 3.56, ALTHOUGH THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THEY MIGHT INSTALL CORRECTLY.

PSN DOES WORK, BUT IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU DO NOT LOG IN TO PSN WITH THE CFW INSTALLED!

I have censored the link to this file and password to protect anyone else from unknowingly installing 3.56 OFW, and then being stuck with no way to downgrade.
