Article: PS3 Firmware 4.20 Released - Some Suggest No PSN for CFW Users

I believe has been explained this is for a normal (retail) CFW/MFW, so my guess is all the CFWs with modified vsh.self will not work and most likely will red screen (TB, Cobra, REBUG)

Had the rsod like a few others Have re-installed back 2 kmeaw 3.55, but now gt5 no longer works, any ideas peeps? Cheers

I'm sorry, but the simplest and safest solution is now and always has been when it was functioning since the first version is to set up and use F*ckPSN. Works on every CFW/MFW

I understand it's confusing for some people, but patience and perseverance will lead you to where you guys to where you want to be.

Having to close skype isn't exactly a good solution for some.

Anyway.. this pkg file to get psn back looks great, i am just too scared to put my ps3 online in case i get banned and then in the future it would be just my luck that the ps3 scene will explode into new cfw and online gaming for all.

As far as i know, you can unban yourself quite easily as long as you're on cfw. No one has ever been banned just for being online with cfw anyway. As long as you aren't cheating in games, there's nothing to worry about.

I don't use skype, but afaik you can change the port for it and resolve the conflict. This should get you started. It's got just about everything you need in the comments

Oh that's helpful. Thanks.

[BahumatLord]

don't forget to let everybody know if you get it worked out. Post a good tut that's easy to follow and we'll get you entered in the contest if tuts are still in it. The contest changes so much it's hard to keep track of

still works im only on 4.11 version spoofer no rebug or f***K psn im a happy camper

Here is a PSN enabler and disabler I've made which also spoofs to Firmware v4.20. This is only for Kmeaw users. I've made one for Rebug FW too but I haven't tested it yet. I have used Rebug's spoofer files and Nathanr's tools, so thanks to them. Make sure you are unspoofed (3.55) before running the enabler. The disabler restores the original Kmeaw files and returns to v3.55. I have also used a reactpsn compatible vsh.self in the disabler so it doesn't screw anybody up that uses reactpsn. For those that don't use reactpsn, you won't notice anyway.
To enable PSN and spoof to v4.20, run the enabler, the screen will go black for about 15 secs, PS3 will then restart, your pad will have disconnected too so press the PS button. You can now check your firmware version in system info, it should say 'version 4.20' and you should now be able to connect to PSN. To disable and return to v3.55, just run the disabler, screen goes black again and PS3 restarts.
I can't see this lasting long, as it looks like Sony are currently only checking the firmware version above and beyond what Rebug have already done.
