This will then allow you to go back online with the PS3 assuming you're not on CFW and the other IDPS/CID hasn't already been banned.Ĥ) There are other methods such as spoofing IDPS, which can 'trick' Sony's authentication servers into thinking your PS3 IDPS is different and allowing you to sign in but I do not know what methods are used for this. You can change it permanently with IDPSet. In other words, you cannot make one up and will need to take one from another PS3.ģ) IDPS/CID can be changed via CFW (Custom Firmware, basically a modded PS3).

So I asked the guy I bought it from what to do and brought it back to him (after playing on it for quite a while) and he had a technician take a look at turns out the console was apparently permanently banned by Sony even though it's been reset to default.
