Simplified times 2: PSN 3.55 Tutorial (Its easyer but still complicated)

[MadnessImport]

1. Install the Charles certificate on your PS3
Make a copy of charles-proxy-ssl-proxying-certificate.crt (C:Program FilesCharlesdoc) and rename it to CA24.cer (Win7 users will have to enable "show file extensions")
Copy the included .pkg file (AsbestOS) AND the above CA24.cer to your USB drive
Install the pkg file on the PS3 as you would any other package and then run the AsbestOS Installer. The installer will take a while (5 mins+ for me) and it WILL fail, it's fine. (if it doesn't work for you use FreeFlash)
Open your favorite file manager and copy the CA24.cer to /dev_rwflash/data/cert (remember to make a backup of the original!)
Reboot your PS3.

2. Setting up Charles
Download and install Charles
Replace the included charles.config to your profiles app-data path. For Windows 7 it is C:UsersxxxxAppDataRoamingCharles and for Windows XP it will be Cocuments and SettingsUser(Local?) Application DataCharles or C:Program FilesCharles - if the file isn't in these paths then do a search for it.
Start Charles.

3. Setup your DNS/Update List
Open PS3DNS.exe included in the zip file, select your IP - I have developed this program my self, it's basically a DNS server and the source is attached if you wish to compile for your self.
Set the PS3's PRIMARY DNS server to your PC's IP address
Set the PS3's SECONDARY DNS server to your actual DNS server (e.g. router)
Copy the ps3-updatelist.txt to the root of your C: drive - my file is for UK you will have to change the Dest=87 to another number as defined here: http://ps3dev.wikispaces.com/Target+ID AND the CDN= prefix, so duk01 becomes dus01 for US.

4. Reboot your PS3 and then login to PSN - enjoy!

Now, here's a good question (not saying this method is crap), what will happen once 3.56 is jailbroken or someone releases some .pkg that gets us into PSN? Will PSN mess up or something? I mean, I guess I'm curious if those same files will be left on the PS3.

It works great took me like fifteen minutes to do keep up the good work

Backup your cert first and then replace it! Don't be foolish about it, I'm still using the other method of running a vm and that and haven't decided if i want to change it to this method or not.

i dont even recomend getting psn this way

its not worth risking OUR property to hawk off SONYS network when THEY say WE cant if WE use custom firmware....

But when people start breaking there stuff they go blame sony or the original creator of this article epic ey?

@thebudman420 How long did it take you to set up the other way?
