JUST a word of caution out there to all of you who have ants in your pants.... BEWARE....

RUMOR's are that this SUPPOSEDLY REAL BYPASS (NOT!!!) by "CHARLES" SSL Proxy Certificate is nonsense, it has been quickly put together by SONY Junior Intern Developers seeking several entry level programming positions as a HOAX to difuse the whole hoopla between amateur CFW Dev's...

The whole premises is that the more elaborate the procedure, the longer it would take suckers/hackers wannabe's to stay away from trying to get online on the PSN under 3.55cfw's.

As for me, I can truly say that this CHARLES bypass is uttermostly the stupidest thing I've ever seen, I've been in contact this weekend with several reputable DEV's I know personally and they all have thrown this long & silly method out the window, nothing but MAMBO JAMBO... DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME... Sony is trying to derail us by releasing DECOY solutions which will lead nowhere...

My question is this: for all those of you who have REP++ this FAKE HOAX method, did you even try it? how many of you got it working? Most people in here have emailed me and they can't even get past the 2-3 steps....

I'M SORRY TO BURST YOUR BUBBLE, but guys this is nothing but a HOAXXXXXXXXX........

whether if it was by sony or pimple poppers teenie boppers hacker wannabe's... I must admit.....they got some of you good....

were is the proof for your claim?

How is it a hoax if it actually works for the people who did it right you stupid f*kwad? You've been pimping your garbage "ONYX" nonsense for the last two weeks, we're suppose to take you seriously when you can't even spell "imminent" correctly?

FIXED THE charles.config FILE LINK!

Once you have Charles installed on your PC, get any USB flash drive and put CA24.cer and asbestOS_v1.5.pkg on the root of that USB. If it asks to overrite say yes. (In case you have those files on the USB) Then plug it into your PS3.

NOW YOUR DONE WITH SETTING UP CHARLES

Install asbestOS package and once its installed, run it and as said in this thread, it should say failed and a couple of seconds later it should say hold X to exit. Hold X and go into Awesome File Manager and on the left, you should see dev_rwflash. Open that and go to data and then cert. Inside cert, you are going to see CA24.cer (we are still on the left side.) On the right side, find dev_usb000. Inside there, there should be CA24.cer. If it has other letters after .cer, unplug your USB and plug it into your computer, open it, and delete everything itsept CA24.cer. Ok so now, press SELECT while in Awesome File Manager and the screen should turn red. Put the little arrow on CA24.cer on both sides but highlight the one on the left and press SQUARE then START. Exit Awesome File Manager and then TURN OFF YOUR PS3 AND LEAVE IT OFF!!

Get the charles.config files and put it in wherever you installed Charles at. You should see another charles.config file in there, if you don't, your in the wrong place. Drag the charles.config into where you downloaded Charles and it would ask you to override. Say yes of course.

CLOSE CHARLES. TURN OFF YOUR PS3!!!!!!!

Now, open Charles again and then open PS3DNS.exe, select your region and IP. Put the ps3-updatelist.txt to the root of your C:\ drive. (FROM THE ONE THAT I PROVIDED YOU WITH!)
PRIMARY DNS is your IP Adress.
How to get SECONDARY DNS - Start-->Run-->Cmd
When you are in it (supposed to be a black window, looks like a terminal) type in "ipconfig/all" (without the ""). Now, give it a couple seconds and some information should come up about your computer internet stuff. It shows your IP Address which you use for Primary DNS, under that it should say "DNS Server"

why don't you check the definitons of IMMINENT and EMINENT, then get back to me...
