(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hello. Recently I had gotten the error 8002A224 on my 4.21.1 PS3 the day Sony started banning people. Well, come to find out. It's also a console ban. I searched and searched and all it came out to be was a console ban. No one had a fix as far as I knew. I searched for hours on end trying to find a way to fix this. Found NOTHING! I did a Restore Default Settings in the Recovery Menu and it works only for the first time you sign in w/ the error code 8002A224. Then after you rebooted your PS3, signed off, etc. It would continuously give the error. So I remembered the old PSIDPatcher app back from 3.55. I FINALLY got it signed for 4.21.1 and to my luck, it worked! The steps will be below along with the download! Hope this works for you guys, if it doesn't, I'll request this thread to be taken down.

1. Restore Default Settings in the Recovery Menu (DO NOT SIGN IN AFTER)
2. Download the PSIDPatcher for 4.21/3.55 You must login or register to view this content. | You must login or register to view this content.
3. Install the pkg and run
4. Press (X) 3-4 times then press (SQUARE) 3-4 times
5. Press Triangle to exit then reboot PS3
6. Open up Rebug Toolbox and go to the far right menu
7. Scroll to very bottom and change to 0x85 (EUR)
8. Exit then reboot PS3
9. Try to sign-in to PSN

NOTE: AS FAR AS I KNOW, THIS METHOD FIXES ERROR 8002A224. I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS ON ANY OTHER ERRORS, THAT IS WHY IT SAYS "Possible Unban Method."

Proof mine worked:

POST YOUR RESULTS BELOW!

AFAIK 8002A224 error is giving wrong region (DEX vs. 0x85) and its not ban like 8002A227/8002A231, so usin PSIDpatch aint fixin nothin cause it aint workin properly on 4.21.1 cause it changes different line than on 3.55...

anyway plz try it straight with Rebug Toolbox without PSIDpatch and post result here b4 ur real ID is banned thx

Works for me .

I've looked and that error was a console ban. I used PSIDPatcher once and it worked the first time. I have been hosting on MW3 the past 2 days now.

k so u didnt turn off PS3 yet cause reboot is reseting both PSID and Rebug Tools so am 99% sure its thx 2 region

also in step 5 is reboot so as i said any1 just try straight Rebug Tools cause i think only DEX was changed 2 retail

Rebooting your ps3 wont change your PSID or console ID :lol:

I tried using the toolbox straight out and still kept getting the error. So, I have no clue what you're talking about.

Is this a permanent fix? Thinking whether to sell my PS3 or buying a new one

can u host it some where else because the 4.21 got deleted...

i try this methood on 3.55 kameaw and fail to sign in still.. wat jb r u using?

4.21.1 rex

This should be the last time I'll have to fix the link.
