(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!

Got it on my first try.

Okay, but won't you get banned again? Also don't they also ban your MAC address? Or is it console ID only?

But I've never went to DEX or ever been in DEX mode. So, it was a console ban. I researched it for hours and hours.

Once you reboot the id goes back to the normal id... i dont see how rebooting this can do anything...

Why would I waste my time writing a "fake" tutorial on what I did to get back online my 3.55?
Don't believe me, then send a a friend request to: WMMWMMMWMMMWMMMW.

first you copied a Tut and pasted it it. second. there is NO proof your back online send a request to
xV-A-M-P-i-R-Ex

what is a friends request going to prove? nothing.. make a video shit this is the 2000's EVERY ONE has a camera phone. it dont have to be top quality. show us install pkg's and then install one then sign online. and also show us the date written on a piece of paper next to your name. proof is all we have these days. not trying to bash or offend you either. just magically works for you and NO ONE else that has tried it on this entire thread. come on now...

forgot to quote

Oh you posted here too? Now tell me how this is beneficial to anyone? Why don't YOU go figure out how we can get back on PSN and YOU go record it and it better be 1080p betch! Can't stand you complaining ass nut gobblers that bitch at people trying to help the community.

ok troll... obviously you are the same exact person... and a child at that. thats why there was NEVER a response and there has now been any one posting saying it works. trying to help the community ? with pkg's they didnt create ? and tuts that have been copied and pasted from one thread to another with nothing but failures ? come on now child use that sponge between your ears just a little bit and think before you speak.

Who are you calling a child first off when you still type like one. Second off please tell me where your contributions to the community are because scrolling through your threads I can't find any. He made an effort you've made none no gtfo.
