New Custom Firmware v3.55 PS3ITA Released With Full PSN Access [Install Guide]

Yet another group of developers at PS3ITA have just released a new custom jailbreak firmware for all v3.55 PS3 owners which reportedly allows full PSN access. According to the team who created this new CFW, it is based on custom firmware 3.55 from Kmeaw but with two added minor patches which allow complete access to the PSN without updating to firmware 3.56. They do however are clearly stating that the risk of getting banned by Sony in the light of ongoing crackdown is high, so try this at your own risk!

We were waiting for new developments about online game on custom firmware (see kmeaw, geohot and others) when one of the brightest minds of our team has produced what we might call, the fastest possible access for the PSN.

The firmware is based on Kmeaw’s custom firmware, to which were added 2 small patches which allow access to the PSN!

Access is fast,no PC is needed to serve as a ” bridge “and then programs like ****Psn or charles, skipping the check of the model (debug, retail, reftool, etc.) and setting of the PS3 fw at 3:56 .. (not in the XMB)

Of course the risk of BAN is still high and being a CFW, ps3ita assumes no responsibility for any brick during installation.

Here is the tutorial (translated from Italian). You can read the original version here:
