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 in 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? :madsal: I will appreciate it :/

1. Dump the eid_root thing

2. Make the cex and dex dumps

3. Then press convert to dex

Did you do step 2 of making the cex and dex dumps?

You don"t need IDPSet if you're on 4.70 Rebug.. There is an option in the utilities section of Rebug Toolbox called Dump eid root key. select that, then go over to the DEX/CEX section and select Rewrite Target ID in Flash.. After that select Swap LV2 Kernel and it will restart your PS3... BAM... you're on DEX. Simple as that
