PSIDPatch 1.5 arrived today and may be the saving grace for currently banned users. The program allows users to change their PSID, a unique identifier which console banning relies on. Reports are coming in that if you are able to get another legitimate unbanned PSID, you can use this program to change your banned PSID to the unbanned clean PSID. As stated the new PSID must be legitimate or you will get an error message. Your best bet in getting a clean PSID is to borrow a friend or family member's.

UPDATED 1.6
(Hi guys!! great news, this method is confirmed to work by a few user!) Also please try not to get banned again!! Play without cheating much more fun!!
Updated PSIDPatch 1.5, now it can also change the Console ID sent to PSN, although if the ID isn't valid you'll get a nice 8002A224 error.
Included a sample consoleid.txt file too.
Updated PSIDPatch 1.2 for 3.55 consoles. SELF is signed and the package is "signed".
1.2 also lets you generate a random PSID now, no need for txt files
Also, removed the confirmation screens.
PSID is your playstation's unique identifier to Sony, this program will patch the loaded PSID in memory to one of your choice. This won't permanently patch your PSID, but *MIGHT* let you fool PSN. Best way to test this is for somebody with a banned PS3 to try changing it and going online.
Please note that I'm not sure if PSID is what is actually used for bans! Apparently the ID used for banning is generated using the PSID, but I think that the result of this generation *MIGHT* be stored somewhere in memory. If it is, this tool is worthless for PSN until that result is found.
Made and tested on a 3.41 PS3 for 1.0, 3.55 PS3 for 1.2... Although not tested online by me!
If your using a different version and patching doesn't work properly please contact me and we'll work out a fix
Features:
+ Shows you current PSID
+ Shows you current Console ID
+ Patch PSID from dev_usb/psid.txt
+ Patch PSID to random number
+ Patch Console ID from dev_usb/consoleid.txt
+ Patch ConsoleID (line 2) to random number
+ Choose USB to load from
This uses the peek and poke syscalls in order to patch your PSID. Please make sure your using a payload which uses them (PSX-SCENE: The oldest and most trusted Playstation Scene Community - View Single Post - PL3 Updated – MOH Now Running Without Need of Game Updates for example) or a CFW that has them (kmeaw 3.55 does)
Usage:
Install package
Run PSIDPatch
Press Cross to patch PSID with a random number, or Square to patch ConsoleID.
Or.. if you want to use your own:
Create a text file called psid.txt/consoleid.txt on root of your USB
Put 32 hex characters inside (e.g. 1234567890ABCDEFFEDCBA0987654321) or 64 for ConsoleID
Open PSIDPatch, choose your USB using Up/Down arrows and press R1 to patch.
Technical Stuff:
PSID starts at 0x800000000044A18C in 3.41, 0x800000000045218C in 3.55. It is 16 bytes long.
Two identicle Console ID's exist in memory: one which is 32 bytes at 0x80000000003C2EF0 and another which is 16 bytes at 0x8000000000452174. PSN seems to use the second one, but PSIDPatch patches both.
AFAIK console id spoofing doesn't work, Sony might operate on a whitelist basis... If somebody can message me their console id, I'd be happy to try it out on mine to see if it could be something else.
Thanks:
Mathieulh/RichDevX - bragging about PSID stuff on twitter, if it was a private convo I never would of started this
user - Fixing CFWLoad code so no SCE confidential stuff is included, thanks man
djekl - Random PSID idea, can't believe I didn't think of that...
So guys let me break down this for alot of you who don't understand, This will change your ps3 CONSOELID and your PSNID which effectivly helps to trick sony to ban it, however as user rechange those ID's using this method, their console is no longer known as a banned or unauthorised console for sony which allow the user to connect back to PSN.
So in this case, the people who are already banned should be able to access PSN again simply by changing their CONSOLEID using this method.
Guys please comment if worked on you.
