Then just go to 4.65 or lower and do it. I think I looked to see if the creator updated it to 4.70 not too long ago and they didn't.

Hey kryptus! I did the same you did "Cex to Dex Without flash dump" and after everything is done, at Rebug it say " LV2 kernel: Dex" "Target Type: Dex" but when I run The psn patch and the PsNinja, at Rebug it say "LV2 kernel: Cex" "Target Type: Dex" and it doesn't let me sign it to psn �� I don't know why. When I try to sign in it say " An error has occurred. You have been sign out of PSN". Can you please help me fix the sign in problem? �� I will appreciate it ��
