Following this guide you can replace your current PSN avatar with your own custom one. Mind you, it isn’t that cool of a hack because your online PSN friends can’t see your custom avatar — only you can ... and maybe your real-life friends who come over and party with you if you have any.

Requirements:

blackb0x FTP Server
A PSN account
A computer with an FTP client
Any png-formatted image


  1. Install and run blackb0x’s PS3 FTP Server
  2. Download any small image (about 10KB) and save it as “me.png” onto your desktop.
  3. Connect to your PS3 with any FTP client. Set the host as your PS3 IP address. No username or password is needed.
  4. Locate your avatar file. It should be located in the following directory: dev_hdd0/home/000000XX/friendim/avatar/me.png (the XX is the number of your user)
  5. Overwrite me.png in the above directory with your custom avatar (me.png on your desktop).


Exit and you should now have a custom avatar!
This is what the NGU logo looks like:

Here is the download link to this NGU avatar I made if you would like to use it:

non of your friends can see the avatar is because its not on the PSN server.. its sort of pointless.. But u can have your come to your house and amaze them with your custom avatar.. Cool Man (aka Tustin)

This is a pointless Thread unless you get off to petty things.

Everyone asking why no-one on PSN can see it, it's because normal Avatars come straight from PSN, you cannot permanently change your Avatar because it's only coming from your PC.

Get over it!
