Sony has issued official firmware version v3.56 via PSN.
It is strongly recommended that you DO NOT update
The new firmware kills all homebrew. The update includes a new .self file with a new, previously unknown, key inside. This means all homebrew tools will have to be updated in order to restore functionality.
Update: All right, all updated! geohot?s jailbreak is recognized but of course does not install: The data is corrupted. (8002F828).
Update: KaKaRoTo with the quickness? Packing and unpacking 3.56 is now possible with the latest in ps3utils and ps3tools. Also updated are the keys for said firmware. So update your git clones! A new custom firmware is nearing, and you know that!
Update: Attention all you running custom firmware and for whatever reason have decided, ?I?m going to upgrade to OFW 3.56.? Well you should hold that thought and restore to OFW 3.55 first. There are reports circulating that ?my PS3 no longer turns on? after updating to 3.56 from a custom firmware. In other words: your console may end up bricked. I would restore to OFW 3.55 and wipe everything off the HDD first (from the Recovery Menu)
