(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!

Thank you mate, Working good but the Unbanned theory don't work lol

I'm using KMEAW 3.55 with SEN/PSN 4.31 and PSID patch. When I tried signing in I got the ban error code. All I did was spoof my console, and ps id about 5-6 times, reboot my ps3 and I'm signed in now.

If I do this will it work? Thanks

It worked for me, I'm online playing black ops 2.

Okay am trying now!
Can you please give me a step by step guide on what to do?
Also please give me the download link?

am on KMEAW 3.55 how do i do the 6 and 7 steps? Plz Help!

rebootin CHANGES ur PSID/console ID 2 original no matter if u used PSIDPatch or Rebug Tools so keep laughin...

what am talkin bout is that DEX on PSN was patched so gave 8002A224 and Rebug Tools changed ur ID 2 retail

Download PSID patch: You must login or register to view this content..
Install .pkg on ps3.
Start PSID patch.
Click "X" about 5-6 times(spoofs PSID).
Click "[]" about 5-6 times(spoofs Console ID).
Click "^"(Triangle) to exit the homebrew.
Reboot PS3.
Sign in.
That is exactly what I did to sign back in on my banned 3.55 KMEAW PS3.

Thank You soooo much! Gonna try later!
