You need a downgrader. A harddrive with 3.55 installed doesn't work.

Xbox 360: Slim untouched with a faked 320 GB harddrive for XBL, phat with LT 3.0, played Halo early, so going on live would be an instand ban, also with a faked 320 GB harddrive
PS3: Untouched 160 GB Slim, 60 GB Fat with latest Rogero and 160 GB internal harddrive.
PSVita: hardly ever play it
GameCube: Black with a Viper chip installed. With gameboy player. Trying to get a Wavebird controller.

not for a 3000 model. The 3000 model cannot be downgraded therefor there is no way to exploit it. I would trade it for a 2000 or a phat with a lower firmware. If you get a phat or slim 2000 on a firmware higher than 3.55 then you will need the hardware flasher as listed above.
