3. Save the settings on PS4.
4. Start Charles Proxy and look at the left window.

The Fact: this isnt really bypassing the update... if you watch the modified ps4-updatelist.xml file, you see that it is just display, which is obviously changed to 3.50... but if do the update ( step 5 ) you're on 3.55, just the display info ( for systeminformation ) changed... the 2 links (in the .xml) are still the 3.55 update, so you're on 3.55 with spoof display information :P
