(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok, guys so in the world of DEX vs CEX, I will admit I am a bit of a DEX noob. I have used CEX for quite a while now without any major issues that I wasn't able to figure out. I recently picked up another PS3 CECH-2001A and swapped the HDD to a 250 gb. The system still had the factory warranty sticker on it so it had never been opened. It also had NEVER been online up until I installed the HDD, and installed OFW 4.70. I at this point used my testing account and got on PSN(system was still on OFW at this point).

I at this point, I jailbroke it and had it on Rogero 3.55 downgrader. I then followed a tut and installed Kmeaw 3.55, and then went to Rebug 4.70.1 REX. Once I was on Rebug, I installed the Rebug toolbox and followed the tut to convert to DEX. So once I was now on DEX, I decided to get everything set up to go online. Installed CCAPI and some other programs as well.

Once I was all set up, I turned my network settings on and set up the internet connections. Tried to connect to CCAPI, and no matter how many times I uninstalled/reinstalled CCAPI, It would not connect. Also upon loading the PS3 from the get go where you normally have the CCAPi icon pop up, it pops up instead with a message that says CCAPI cannot be loaded, and gives an error code. Weird thing is, it's the same exact CCAPI I use for my 4.70 Habib CEX PS3 and it works just fine on that machine.

But the real surprise was when I tried to sign into PSN. Keep in mind, the ONLY time this machine had ever been online up until this point, was when I installed the 4.70 OFW to test the system. After that it had no internet connection up until I tried to sign into PSN after converting to DEX. When I did this, I got some kind of PSN error code(I apologize I don't have the exact error code) that when I researched, it pretty much comes down the the console ID is incorrect. How is this even possible as this thing has never been online on CFW? Is this something that happens when converting to DEX?

I read elsewhere that this can happen sometimes when changing to certain CFW's. I was told all I have to do is re set my CID using CCAPI. To my knowledge I shouldn't have to do this unless my original CID is banned and I am using a Private CID or public CID. And on the same note, how can I fix this if my CCAPI doesn't want to work for some reason? Also, has anyone ever heard of this happening before? All I did was the DEX conversion, and now the system can't get online, and CCAPI doesn't want to work properly...At a loss...

Go to iris manager and restore console ID. Then with that id set it as your boot idps with ccapi.

Yeah, just starting to see that there is no DEX 4.70 multiman available and until its re-released, I will need to use some other file manager other than multiman for a bit. Please remember I am a DEX noob. I've never used any file manager other than Multiman up until now so....Someone told me I might want to try Iris Manager, so I downloaded and installed the program, and god damn....that is hands down probably one of the worst homebrew I have ever used... That being said, how is Webman by comparison? I hopped on Webman real quick to see if it installed correctly. I saw that I can play game backups from it when I need to, but I didn't see where I can go in and modify the eboots and such. Is that doable in Webman?

Yeah, I just used webman and restored the target region back to US from DEX region. Then used ccapi to change boot idps. Got that whole aspect working fine. Now I'm just trying to find a file manager I like since multiman wont work on 4.70 DEX

rebug toolbox has a ftp manager built in. That could be an option

If you just want to ftp, rebug tool box is the way to go

ftp is already always on due to webman.

use an ftp client to put the eboots in the games folders.

ftp is always on due to webman

in webman setup you should do the idps spoofing there instead of using ccapi.

webman really is all you need.

multiman will install and work in cobra mode, but it wont have access to bd emu. so it will just be a file manager.

I originally did spoof the idps in Webman, but since I am using my actual CID, I would rather it load from startup rather than having to spoof it each time, hence why I used Console Manager to change the boot idps to the actual legit CID. And i really like the idea of just using Multiman as a FTP. I think I'm gonna do it this way as I'm already familiar with Multiman. Just use Multiman to FTP, and use Webman to load/play games. Thanks bro!

good option
