Updated PSIDPatch 1.5, now it can also change the Console ID sent to PSN, although if the ID isn't valid you'll get a nice 8002A224 error. Included a sample consoleid.txt file too.

Updated PSIDPatch 1.2 for 3.55 consoles. SELF is signed and the package is "signed". 1.2 also lets you generate a random PSID now, no need for txt files. Also, removed the confirmation screens.

PSID is your playstation's unique identifier to Sony, this program will patch the loaded PSID in memory to one of your choice. This won't permanently patch your PSID, but *MIGHT* let you fool PSN. Best way to test this is for somebody with a banned PS3 to try changing it and going online.

Please note that I'm not sure if PSID is what is actually used for bans! Apparently the ID used for banning is generated using the PSID, but I think that the result of this generation *MIGHT* be stored somewhere in memory. If it is, this tool is worthless for PSN until that result is found.

Made and tested on a 3.41 PS3 for 1.0, 3.55 PS3 for 1.2... Although not tested online by me! If your using a different version and patching doesn't work properly please contact me and we'll work out a fix.

Today stoker25 has updated his security app to PSIDPatch version 1.5, which now supports changing the PS3 Console ID sent to PSN among the updates.

From the ReadMe file:


Features:

• Shows you current PSID
  
• Shows you current Console ID
  
• Patch PSID from dev_usb/psid.txt
  
• Patch PSID to random number
  
• Patch Console ID from dev_usb/consoleid.txt
  
• Patch ConsoleID (line 2) to random number
  
• Choose USB to load from
  

This uses the peek and poke syscalls in order to patch your PSID. Please make sure your using a payload which uses them or a CFW that has them (kmeaw 3.55 does)

Usage:

1. Install package
   
2. Run PSIDPatch
   
3. Press Cross to patch PSID with a random number, or Square to patch ConsoleID.
   
4. Or.. if you want to use your own:
   
5. Create a text file called psid.txt/consoleid.txt on root of your USB
   
6. Put 32 hex characters inside (e.g. 1234567890ABCDEFFEDCBA0987654321) or 64 for ConsoleID
   
7. Open PSIDPatch, choose your USB using Up/Down arrows and press R1 to patch.
   

Technical Stuff:
PSID starts at 0x800000000044A18C in 3.41, 0x800000000045218C in 3.55. It is 16 bytes long. Two identicle Console ID's exist in memory: one which is 32 bytes at 0x80000000003C2EF0 and another which is 16 bytes at 0x8000000000452174. PSN seems to use the second one, but PSIDPatch patches both.

AFAIK console id spoofing doesn't work, Sony might operate on a whitelist basis... If somebody can message me their console id, I'd be happy to try it out on mine to see if it could be something else.

Thanks:
Mathieulh/RichDevX - Bragging about PSID stuff on twitter, if it was a private convo I never would of started this.
user - Fixing CFWLoad code so no SCE confidential stuff is included, thanks man.
djekl - Random PSID idea, can't believe I didn't think of that...

what if i sign in then use the psid patch

So what does this actually do ?

oke i have tested it out also but when you try to sign in you will get

8002A224 error if you restart your ps3 you psid and consoleid gonna be resettet to the normal one so we have to wait i think

any ideas were to get a 2nd id from or do you need a 2nd ps3 that dont use online ?

You could just guess and get lucky or you could go into a store and find a demo ps3's id
