[Tutorial] How to manually React PSN Content for 4.21REX
Credit to niwakun of PS3news for posting this, should help some people out on 4.21 REX.
* Assuming you have 4.21RFW installed and REBUG Toolbox installed.
- Run REBUG toolbox, enable REBUG Mode and exit (console will restart)
- Create a new dedicated user account on PS3. Then register to PSN.
- Download something on PSN that requires activation
Tip: if US account, download Uncharted 2 DLC (it's free BTW) or if Japan account, download Akiba Strip Dynamic Theme (it's free too)
- Now you have act.dat residing on your exdata of your current account home folder
- Now go ftp and browse over >> dev_hdd0/home/00000XXX/exdata
Tip: the XXX is replaced by any number, just browse over the account who had the current exdata folder with act.dat on it
- Backup your precious act.dat somewhere it wont lost, you can use this in the future to pirate PSN Stuff *har
- Now dump your IDPS, you will need that also. You can download the IDPS dumper You must login or register to view this content..
- Now your ready, use the raps file you downloaded over warez sites, convert those files using You must login or register to view this content. and using the unique files on your console, the IDPS and act.dat you can now activate PSN/DLC/PS1/PS2/Minis stuff.
Tip: make sure that the name of the rif file is same with the rap file like
RAP: EP4313-NPEB00087_00-TLEVIATHAN000001.rap
RIF: EP4313-NPEB00087_00-TLEVIATHAN000001.rif
Now transfer it on your PS3 via FTP or something feasible to transfer the rif file to exdata, where you get the act.dat earlier.
Enjoy free PSN stuff.. ahoy!!

I tried installing and activating the borderlands 2 mechromancer and captain scarlett DLC but it doesn't seem to have worked. The only step that I am unsure if I did properly is the idps dump. I didn't want to go back down to 3.55 to use the idps dumper so I got the idps from my flash dump then pasted it into a new file in my hex editor, is that correct?
Has anyone else managed to successfully activate borderlands 2 dlc?

I also had the same problem. However I managed to somehow fix it.
First you have to be on rebug 4.21Rex,
What I did was using rap2rif with the act.dat that was GENERATED by reactPSN. Which I had from 3.55. *DO NOT USE THE ACT.DAT from PSN to convert rap2rif, it won't work.*
then I copied the rif files and the act.dat from reactPSN back into my aa account (i guess you can copy them into any account, haven't tested it though)
I still leave the PSN act.dat in my main account. Then I boot up borderlands 2 and voila, the dlcs were there.
I sorta got my hints from here: You must login or register to view this content.

Only solution currently is to go back to 3.55 CFW to activate raps, edats etc with
3.55 signed reactPSN. Then go back to 4.21+ and activations will carry over.
Remember you need both PSN act.dat and reactPSN act.dat for it to work. reactact.dat just "hacks" psn one so you dont need PSN to activate if PSN act.dat is removed react ACT.dat is useless.
Then if you need to activate more stuff instead of going back to 3.55CFW everytime, use rap2rif with react/aa account act.dat then put rifs in aa account exdata.
