Changing HDD

[ifju88]

I'm fairly new to PS3 modding and all the custom FW stuff, so If I'm asking a stupid question, please help me out with it, thank you

I've recently bought my first 500Gb PS3 with HEN and WebmanMod already installed on it.
My friend gave me an original copy of Destiny and I love to play with it, but when I start the game and want to log in with my PSN account, I cannot, because the guy who sold the console to me, logged in with his account (master account for PKGi?). Sadly, the seller is not helpful at all and he doesn't want to add my account to his and says that creating a new user is forbidden too, because it can break the modding.

My question is, can I change the original HEN HDD to another and install back the original PS3 firmware to play online and when I want to play offline, put back the original HEN HDD and continue to use it with the mod?
Or is there any other way to play online without risking a ban?

I hope my question was clear

You can have on PS3 probably 99999999 accounts. Each account is in "dev_hdd0/home/" and each have its own licenses in exdata folder. If You have digital games installed which needs license, after You delete his account those games will stop working. You can add Your account as all accounts can use all games and licenses from another accounts, also You can export licenses to not user/console specified form called *.rap (instead to *.rif).

If You have CFW and install OFW newer than 3.55, You will not be able to back to CFW (bgtoolset is down now).

Firmware is not written on HDD but on Flash... HDD model is assign to PS3, if You switch to another, You will not be able to use old HDD without formatting it first.

There is no safe way of playing online on hacked consoles, not on CFW, not on HEN, not on HAN.

Thank you Berion for the reply!
So, if I make a new account (e.g User2) can I log in with my PSN and play the game?
Will User1 still capable enabling HEN and run the games from the HDD?

Yes, but logging on hacked console is always risk of ban for account and all consoles sticked to it (i.e PS3+PS4+PS5).

All data is shared between users except trophies, saves, encrypted virtual memory cards and chat.

Luckily, this is my first and maybe the last Playstation what I own
Is there a tool to temporarly disable HEN or "trick" the PS3 for sending "fake" info to Sony's servers? I mean, sending fake info as the console that has an original firmware.

Please note what Berion said - if your trophies and your purchased games are important to you, do not log in to your main PSN account on a hacked console (CFW or HEN). If they catch you they will ban not only the hardware but the whole account as well (including even PS4 and PS5 games)
