did u refer to this "When I try to sign in, I get the error 8002A224. What does this mean?
8002A224 means that your Console ID is invalid. My best suggestion would be to make sure that the Console ID is 32 characters and starts with either five 0's or seven 0's. Also, this can mean that your Console ID is banned. I'd try a public CID and see if it works. If it does, then the other Console ID is banned. If you are on DEX, another fix for this is to make sure that you are selecting in Rebug Toolbox under the Utilities tab Change PS3ID and selecting the CEX one, it is different for people, as it depends on the region."
i copied it from loes thread
The CID worked for my friend on his PS3 today since I got him to try it but it doesn't work for my PS3. I get the same error code. Also I always go into rebug and change the PS3ID to cex , so I done that as usual and I still get the same error code. Then I tried spoofing my MAC address using SEN Enabler and I still get the error code.. any ideas? Would really appreciate anyone who can fix it for me. I'm on dex rebug 4.70.
Here's what I've done:
Deleted all users of PS3 and made a fresh account
Changed cid and psid (it's working since my friend tested it)
Changed IP address
Changed PS3ID to cex after turning ps3 on
Spoofed mac using Sen Enabler
