PS3 Custom Firmware (CFW) 3.55 on PlayStation Network (PSN) Guide

32w ago - Following up on the previous FckPSN v0.9 updates, today Russian PlayStation 3 user BigFAN has made available a software package and guide on accessing PlayStation Network (PSN) while using PS3 Custom Firmware (CFW) 3.55 with details below.

To quote, roughly translated: Today, the user, who wished to remain anonymous, shared instructions for the return of PSN console with firmware 3.55 kastumnymi WARNING! INSTRUCTIONS NOT VERIFIED. All the action is at your OWN RISK! Let's proceed.

Step 1: Download & Install:

Download: Software.rar Software Pack (5.77 MB)

Require the availability of Java on your computer, you can download it at java.com Certificate from the archive should be copied to a folder PS3 / dev_blind / data / cert before original certificate. To this folder appeared on record in settings multiman 4.xx should put "Writing to dev_flash", as it is mounted dev_blind.

Next, you need a computer, a router, Sonya, combined into one network. In the settings pleysteyshona expose hands with a computer on the same subnet, the DNS IP write a computer in the network (not the Internet, and home address in lokalke). Run PS3DNS.exe of the pack, it will determine the IP company and ask if it is true, then the idea catches Sonya startup.

Next, the txt'shku ps3-updatelist the root C: \ and put Charles Web Debugging Proxy (register). More fun - setting Charlie.

Step 2: Set Up Charlie

The first step is going to the proxy - proxy settings, the tab SSL, enable ssl proxying, add in turn four host port via Add locations:

* 01.ps3.update.playstation.net 80
* 01.ps3.update.playstation.net 443
*. Ac.playstation.net 443
*. Ac.playstation.net 80

Click OK, go to the following menus tools -> rewrite, set enable rewrite, click Add. The right side of a menu there - Locations - Add

proto: https
Host: auth.np.ac.playstation.net
port: 443
Path: / nav / auth
OK

Rules - Add (4 different rules should be added to each address)
Type: Modify Header
Where: Request

replace all set, ca

More tools -> map local - Add (2 items)

map from
proto: https host:
* 01.ps3.update.playstation.net
port: 443
path :/ update/ps3/list / * / ps3-updatelist.txt

map to
local path: C: \ ps3-updatelist.txt
Case-sensitive check
\ \ \ \
map from
proto: http
host: * 01.ps3.update.playstation.net
port: 80
path :/ update/ps3/list / * / ps3-updatelist.txt

map to
local path: C: \ ps3-updatelist.txt
Case-sensitive check

We look to check on a Map Local, all cases should be then with ticks. Next proxy -> reverse proxies

enable Reverse Proxies
add
local port: 80
Remote host: * 01.ps3.update.playstation.net
Remote port: 80 add local port: 443
Remote host: auth.np.ac.playstation.net
Remote port: 443 ok

Let me remind you! Skype is hanging on by default 443 port, and can interfere with, change the port to it, or cancel the incoming to this port in the settings. Although you can turn off the stupid.

Run PS3DNS.exe, tuned Charlie (that it did not request every action allow all network via proxy -> access control settings 0.0.0.0 / 0). Turn on the PS3, log into PSN. PROFIT!

Shortly following, Asure also made available a FPSN Editable version / Mirror (simply unpack it and you'll see 3 directories (bin, lib, src) go to bin directory and execute go.bat)... stating the following:

Probably easier to patch FckPSN since it's already close. Source here: github.com/drizzt (also ps3devwiki.com/wiki/Online_Connections)

Line 36/37 you update with the new passphrase & version.

Russians say:
I've attached an untested 'editable' version of FPSN to this post.

• Passphrase updated
  
• Platform-version strings changed to have PS3_C (underscore-c is not present by default.. in 0.9)
  
• bin\go.bat runs with spoofed consoleID
  
• bin\go_nospoof_console_id.bat does not spoof consoleID at all.
  

Not at home, so I can't test if it works, but i see no reason why it won't. Note that the Russian version/charles version does not spoof consoleID. So if 'go' doesn't work, just ctrl-c and try the go_nospoof bat file. This is a drop-in for 0.9, you should have your certs etc. already setup on the PS3 side.. (see original readme from FPSN..)

Finally, from D3cH (via nextgenupdate.com/forums/playstation-3-exploits-hacks/593216-how-connect-psn-again.html) comes another guide below with a similar one also posted HERE:

Installation

• Install dev_blind.pkg and OpenPS3FTP on your PS3 (using FTP, external USB or what else)
  
• Launch dev_blind and make it mount the flash
  
• Open OpenPS3FTP
  
• Connect via FTP to PS3 (using username root and password openbox)
  
• Go to /dev_blind/data/cert
  
• Rename CA27.cer to CA27.cer.bak
  
• Put my CA27.cer as /dev_blind/data/cert/CA27.cer

Warnings

If you have followed the OLD guide you need to rename the original CA27.cer to CA27.cer.bak and (my) CA24.cer to CA27.cer and you have to restore the old CA24.cer, by renaming CA24.cer.bak to CA24.cer. This is needed since some games use the original CA24.cer

FAQs
