22w ago - Following up on my
guide, the way I see it Sony will soon patch my console unban method, in my opinion it will be possible to work around the patch, I however won't release it publicly but below I give you PS_Unban v0.1 for 3.55 and v0.1.2 for 4.21 Firmware.
PS Unban is a tool to unban your PS3 on both 4.21 and 3.55 firmwares (different pkg's) (the 4.21 should work on both but meh),
no console ID needed.
If it gets fixed i'll patch it a few times.
GUIDE:
Install either "PS_Unban v0.1(4.21).pkg" (UP0001-NOBAN0000_00-0000000000000000.pkg) OR "PS_Unban v0.1(3.55).pkg" on your PS3.
(The 4.21 should work on both firmwares). Once you have installed PS Unban, run it.
When it opens,
Press
X if your on firmware
4.21
OR
Press the
start button if your on
3.55
The application will then unban you and
close automatically.
You can now sign into PSN.
This was created by me so for the love of God don't start dishing donations out to people or what not, since people are trying to claim donations for my work -__-
Donations to me via
Private Message however would be appreciated if you want it kept up-to-date. I still require a tidy 4.30 LV2 dump to make it compatible with 4.30 if anyone wants to send me one.
P.S - This has to be ran everytime PS3 is started, I might release semi-perma unban in future.
P.P.S - The 4.21 (below) release is still beta, let me know if any issues occur.
PS_Unban v0.1(4.21).rar (BETA - See Update Below) /
PS_Unban v0.1(4.21).rar (BETA - See Update Below) (Mirror)
Update: PS_Unban v0.1.2 is now released
HERE and is out of BETA so grab that version instead.

I have made a reply to your post. Here's the link if you missed reading it - http://www.ps3news.com/forums/ps3-hacks-jailbreak/ps_unban-v0-1-ps3-3-55-unban-4-21-unban-pkg-files-arrive-125377-19.html#post445576
can anyone reply back on this ?!?
I like console scenes and I do everything I can to support It, I give donations every now and then and well... I'm a mod here. I try to bring more people into the homebrew world. Even so, I have to be realistic, most people here aren't backing up games, back up implies you own the game, actually, most people aren't testing either, they just want free stuff. Who are we kidding? It's not the OtherOS thread that gets filled with posts, It's the PSN Unban, MultiMan, CFW, basically, things that opens doors to piracy is what gets the most attention, don't you think that means something?
Sony is right about the banhammer, It reduces the number of cheaters online and makes people actually buy the game.
As for waiting until "sony cools out", guys, the bans are random. They ban random people during random days. If you're waiting for a magical day that Sony gets all warm and fuzzy inside, well... don't. The banhammer may or may not struck the CFW users. If you want to be 100% sure you won't get banned, get back to OFW.
1) a lot of CFW users use their CFW for homebrew, not piracy.
2) those who do download the games end up buying them if they really like them.
3) access to PSN means access to the store which means more money for you.
The banhammer will hurt Sony in the long run.
I managed to avoid the ban for a very long time. It finally caught up to me, just hoping this fix will not be patched, however 0x00 said he'll make a new one if it does get patched. Now that's what I call dedication!
Even if my console gets banned, hey, it was fun. I got to go online, have a blast. These banhammers are killer - and just for the record, I followed all the rules, even used chaos airbringer, but I still got banned. No cheats, no modifications, no COD, no early leaks, no loading MM before signing in, etc. It's not just cheaters who are getting the banhammer.
Best way I think - I'm going to wait a bit until sony cools out. Check the scene everyday - if there is a banhammer in effect, don't log on. Wait until it cools down. There seems to have been waves of certain bans at certain times. I think that would be the best way to do it. If they are on a banhammer, it's just not worth logging on.
