I'm trying to update from kmeaw 3.55 to 3.56 via network update. when i hit yes it says i have latest firmware on the ps3 . any ideas ?

I tried going to 3.55 OFW from recovery menu but it said there was no update found
 
I did one of my consoles the other day I went from kmeaw 3.55 to ofw 3.55 via recovery menu then it gave me the message about no update being available when I tried to get to 3.56 so downloaded the ofw 3.56 and did that via recovery as well - worked for me.
 
As above download the update stick it on a fat 32 usb stick and flash via recovery mode.
 
Probably best biting the bullet and doing a proper format of your PS3 hdd too because apparently if you don't then the folders are still there even after you update to 3.56 ofw. And the fact that you effectively draw a line in the sand and any trace of previous tinkering any remnant is gone and it's properly re-virginized. If you're going to do it then do it properly is what I say.
 
Got it working. Forgot i had set DNS settings for bypass. All up and running on 3.56.

Going to get another PS3 for modding

I'd have done it the other way around m8, keep the one you have that's already been fiddled with for modding but get another PS3 for legit. Reason being you could wipe it full format, 3.56 ofw and completely restart from scratch even with a new PSN addy - but they'd still have your PS3's mac addy logged should they decide to ban you anyway later down the line. Only way to totally go legit now is to use a second console that's never been modded.
