Sony Pulls The Plug On Spoofers, Makes PS3 Firmware 4.21 Mandatory


Submitted by Demonchild; July 10, 2012


It was only a matter of time before Sony decided to crack down on the custom firmware family of PS3s running about on the PlayStation Network. They've made the last firmware update for the PS3mandatory and have prevented spoofers from working.

What's happening now is pretty straightforward. PS3 Users are reporting that their choice of spoofer is no longer enabling PSN access on their custom firmware PS3s. Some of the reports are stemming from fuckPSN and nathan_r32_69's SEN Enabler & Disabler. The strange thing about Sony's move is that users with PS3 consoles on the 4.20 official firmware are reporting that they are not being prompted to update to 4.21.

The tl;dr version to this is to stay connected to the PSN as long as you can, to avoid being blocked from going online. That's the warning that's at your discretion of heeding. Let us know if you're still on PSN and if you somehow managed to get back online after signing off.  If you were able to get your PS3 back online after signing off of PSN drop by the comments or Dashhacks forums and let other members know what steps you took to get back on PSN.

 

We'll keep you posted.

4.21 is NOT mandatory.  I can still log in on my OFW 4.20 PS3 and I don't get asked to update.

No suprise at all.

But do people even use CFW anymore?

The last cfw is for 3.55 if I'm correct. Which doesn't work with the PSN store.

Right?

I'm on 3.55 Rebug (Latest) and I'm suck and tired of this cat and mouse game for PSN.

We get it working, and two days later, it's off again. When will people give us a PERMANENT SOLUTION for 3.55 CFW?

THING IS, IF YOU CHOOSE TO RUN CFW AND PIRATE, YOU SHOULD ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU WILL ALLWAYS GET BANNED FROM PSN, PSN HAS ALLWAYS REQUIRED LATEST FW, NOWHERE DOES IT SAY DIRTY PIRATE CFW WILL BE ALLOWED.

SO IF YOU WANT PSN AND PLAY "AS YOULL CLAIM" NOT PIRATED GAMES, BUY A SECOND PS3 AND THE ACTUAL GAME.

DONT SIT CRYING BECAUSE YOUR ACTUALLY DEMANDING SOME KIND OF CONSUMER RIGHTS TO BE ALLOWED TO GET ON PSN WITH A CFW AND PLAY PIRATED GAMES AND/OR CHEAT ONLINE

Well since you're so good at complaining, why don't YOU make a permanent solution???

 

It's people like you that don't appreciate how much hard work is put into providing these.

You people that claim get off with your pirated CFW are idiots. First off the CFW is not pirated, its a unlocked version of firmware that allows me to do things I want to with my PS3 which is the way it should be since I OWN IT! I did not buy the right to play on a console that Sony built but rather I bought a product from them that I own and can do what ever the hell I want to with. That said, I do NOT pirate, I have unlocked my system and own all the games I play and do it for all the great multimedia and streaming tools and to use my PS3 as both an amazing multimedia server and gaming device. Go figure... some people actually like to have rooted devices to do things with it that they enjoy that has nothing to do with pirating. And if your on this site you are most likely involved in some form of rooting or waiting for a CFW since you accidently updated like an idiot so shut up and dont talk trash while you wait for someone with coding skills that actually has half a brain to give you idiots what you are waiting for.

Yup you own your PS3.  What you don't own is PSN and Sony has EVERY RIGHT to keep your MODDED BOX off ITS network.

I got tired of waiting on a solution and updated. Then I just hacked the xbox 360 and got an iHas burner and all is good. So much easier on the 360 to hack it not so much on the PS3. But I remember that in order to spoof your firmware version learn to use that tool that creates your own CFW. I forgot the name but its easy using that to spoof version number.

 

Oh and 4.21 wasn't mandatory for me either.
