Seems like the folks over at PSX-Scene have managed to discover a way to get jailbroken PlayStation 3?s back online on the PlayStation Network (PSN) after Sony recently blocked the DNS method for consoles running custom firmware 3.55. Disclaimer: It should be noted that the method has proven to work for many but we warn you to only use it at your own risk. There is a possibility you might end up getting banned on PSN. If that is the case, we cannot be held responsible. Here is how to connect PS3 to PSN on Custom Firmware 3.55: Set up dnsmasq to resolve your region’s update server (fuk01.ps3.update.playstation.net in our case) and auth.np.ac.playstation.net to your computer. I just added them to my /etc/hosts and left the rest of the dnsmasq settings at default. In Charles, set up reverse proxies for these two addresses on port 80 and 443 respectively. Add auth.np.ac.playstation.net to the list of Locations in the SSL tab of Proxy Settings so you can actually see the data you’ll be changing. In Charles, under Tools > Map Local, map the /update/ps3/list/uk/ps3-updatelist.txt on your region’s server to a local copy, for example the one attached to this post. Using the AsbestOS Installer on your PS3, enable R/W access to /dev/flash. Rename charles-proxy-ssl-proxying-certificate.crt to xx.cer (where xx is a certificate that already exists) then use your preferred method to replace the one in your flash. Set your PS3 DNS to the one you set up. In Charles, set a Breakpoint on all https:// POST Requests. Attempt to connect to PSN. When you see the request in Charles, edit any instance of 3.55 you see in the headers to 3.56 then click Execute. If the method doesn’t work at first, try again, eventually it should allow you to sign in. Full detailed instructions can be found here at PSX-Scene.
