(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This method doesn’t work with a banned console with error 8002A31. But with 8002A227 it is confirmed to be working.

Tools required:
- PS3DNS-GUI: You must login or register to view this content.
- PSI You must login or register to view this content.

1. Put the new CA24.cer in dev_flash/data/cert

1. Download PS3DNS-GUI

2. Run “PS3DNS-GUI.exe” and choose your ip and region

3. Go to Tools -> Rewrite -> PS3DNS – eth0 -> Rules -> Add

4. You have to write your original (banned) console id with no spaces and in the field “your original console id but in last number change it to 1″ do as it says (e.g.: if your original console id is “0000000100850008100dkwab4k957do200000000000000000 000000000000000″ put then “0000000100850008100dkwab4k957do200000000000000000 000000000000001″: (uncheck Response)


5. Click ok -> Ok

6. Go to your PS3, in DNS set in primary your pc’s ip (secondary DNS can be 0.0.0.0), activate proxy, in host enter again your pc’s ip and in port enter 8888. Then you can test to confirm that you have network.

7. Try to log in to PSN and you are logged in!

Now if you want to go to PSN Store, then follow the following, else if you only want to play online go to step 10:

8. Execute PSID (Sony can discover it, but they can’t ban you becuase you are using a blank console id, so you don’t exist, you are a bot ) and there click Square to change to a random console id

9. Try now to go to PSN Store and you will enter there! You can download what you want but I alert you that some things are giving error when trying to download, but the majority will download, including Killzone 3 demo

10. First confirm that you have your original console id according to PSID (important) then you can run any game and play it online.

Note: Playstation Home doesn’t work with this method, I am working in getting it work.

Why spoof console ID on 3.60? You won't get banned for being on 3.60 FW.

No, I mean this works for going online one 3.55 while 3.60 is required, this trick worked back when 3.56 was required.

No, you are thinking of the DNS bypass... This spoofs console ID in order to bypass a ban.

that error code will be cause psn is currently shut down, but it does work when psn is back up and running

tbh I think Sony are fixing the dev servers while PSN is down :/

good job mate

if i get banned i have this thread on my favorites, thats for sure

U saved one of my ps3s thanks

...psn is down..useless for right now.. but Thanks cause my other ps3 is banned ima try this
