(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This is NOT a full fix, more like a semi-fix. Most PSN features will be bugged asf like the friends feature. Proven to be working on CEX and DEX.

So, I basically found a possibility to get online with older firmwares, i.e. Rebug 4.65 after the "protocol patch" of the spoofers (which isn't actually a patch, more a change to the servers due to security reasons). I do not know what this option exactly does as I did not found any information about it on psdevwiki.
However, it will allow you to get online on DEX firmwares. Please note that you won't be able to use the DEX Debug Menu.
Tested with Rebug 4.65.

1. Spoof your firmware to 4.66, just how you did it back then when spoofers worked.
2. In Rebug Toolbox, change the Debug Menu Type to CEX QA.
3. Quit the toolbox, go to the settings and scroll to the very bottom.
4. Press the buttons: L1, L2, L3, R1, R2, R3, DPAD_DOWN at the same time (!)
5. Open the Debug settings which now appeared.
6. Change the setting "Nav-only NP" to On.
7. Login.

As said, I don't know what this option exactly does. I just played around with the NP environment to see if you can get online by changing the NP settings, and it worked. If anyone could explain what this option does I'd be glad and add it to this post.

Sorry if this was already posted, did not found it anywhere on the internet yet. Only semi-fixes where changes to the flash files are needed.

Confirmed to be working on
Rebug REX
Rebug DREX
Rogero CEX
PS3ITA DEX

Known bugs
Friends feature doesn't work
Friends see you offline
Online playing doesn't work for some games
In the working online games, the username is set to "v"
You can get online with a banned CID (shall we consider this as a bug?)

Yep, however only older games which don't simultaneously connect to PSN like MW2 and WAW. Guess I made a bigger found than I thought lol. My banned CIDs now have a use left.

Already stated so in OP.
This sets you on another environment (nav-only mode), means your console thinks it's online even though it's not. Only games which don't connect all the time to PSN work online like MW2 and WAW. If you want a full CFW experience, switch to a 4.66 CEX CFW or wait for an official fix/new FW to be released.

I am a little confused here...
How is it that some can confirm this works on ps3ita when certain options are not available in the rebug toolbox due to the system running an incompatible Cfw ( obviously not being Rebug )
I am unable to change my debug menu type to CEX QA ???

Followed the steps but still gave me message saying I'm banned.

I honestly don't know as I never used ITA. However, users reported that this method would work with PS3ITA.

No. I'm currently sitting together with two devs and we're going through the files which were changed from 04.65 to 04.66 to see if we can do something. No guarantee though.
