So props to the original author : Djoe45

With this method, you'll be able to connect to the PSN even if you're banned/blacklisted by Sony, without the need to use another/someone else ConsoleID!

Requirements:
Charles and PS3DNS installed and configured on your computer.
If you didn't, please check all the relevant tutorials here, they're sticked, so they won't be hard to find.


Step 1:
Power on your PS3 and then start Charles on your computer to get your own ConsoleID.

Ok, so now, the relevant part, we're gonna edit our ConsoleID to the following settings:

    Type = Body

Where = Request (do not check Response)

Match Value = your ConsoleID (taken from picture 1)

Replace Value = empty/blank/no value, do not write anything!

And press Ok, to save your modifications.


Step 3:
Now we need to edit our hosts file to prevent Sony from updating your console.
Browse to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ (or whatever location your hosts file is).

And then edit it to add the following line at the end:
your_ip fREGION01.ps3.update.playstation.net

REGION beeing the region you're connecting to (eu, uk, us, mx, au…).
So if your ip is 192.168.0.179 and connecting to European servers, it will looks like this:

    192.168.0.179 feu01.ps3.update.playstation.net

Yep that's it, nothing more, nothing less.
Basically, what we've done wasn't to spoof our own ConsoleID to someone else's one, but to... an empty one ^^

Remember, i did nothing but to translate it (roughly) and resize the original images.
I just want to give credit where credit is due.

this will be good

To everyone trying you can waste your time as it is not mine , but if your waiting for people to test this it isnt going to work i've used this method in the past like a year ago and it no longer works so very sorry.

This sounds to be a great advance in hacking more and more the PS3 fw.
