OMFG IM ONLINE i thought i would never go online thank you so much. My CID was banned but when i changed it i finally got online. Thanks so much, you saved my life it's good that we have people like you in this world thank u very much i really mean it
It has been a couple years since I used CEX on 4.82, so I could not remember but here is a fair warning: DO NOT GO ANY LOWER. 4.82 is the lowest CFW that can still go online... Also, 4.83 CANNOT (as far as I know)... But as for 4.84, 4.85 & 4.86 I believe they can all go online still, being that CEX needs spoof & DEX requires good history cleanup.
I have only used 4.82.2 (when I bought it) and 4.84.2 since then... There is no DEX build for 4.85 or 4.86, so I never upgraded.
SO, let me guess, before you made this thread, you were getting login error 8002A224? (Usually means CID was banned). Your friend was probably selling it because he could not figure out how to fix that issue himself
Yes, there are ways to buy CIDs that have been taken from other consoles or there is another way to find shared CIDs that work for a couple of hours or a day but buying one is a better idea than using shared/stolen CIDs. THE BEST IDEA is to get a CID from one of your broken consoles and use it on your CFW. I've had to buy 3 CIDs because it was my fault in getting them banned (modding games.)
As for games: World At War, Modern Warfare 1 & 2 as well as Black Ops 1 Zombies are games that I've never been banned for modding.
On Black Ops 2 Zombies, I've been banned 2x after a month or so for using a paid menu known as "Reflex Engine" <- Never use this.
GTA5 is tricky to explain but be VERY CAREFUL if you are going to play it with mods. When I bought my PS3 (4 years ago) I could play with mods online and not get banned for 2 weeks to a month. My 2nd ban from GTA5 was about a year ago, I booted the game to test a mod menu online (Salfety v8.2) but as soon as I restarted my PS3 and went to login, it stated that I was banned. While I blame this ban on GTA5, it doesn't help that I used BO2 with Reflex Engine right before I tested Salfety. So, it could be either really. (Probably was GTA5)
Don't mod Black Ops 3, Advanced Warfare or Call of Duty Ghosts. Being banned for modding these is HIGHLY POSSIBLE. Also, don't mod online games that have a "Report Player" button.
I have 5 mod loaders on my PS3 and I've tested ALL MODS for ALL MY GAMES except for the 50+ that I have for GTA5 because I never got the chance to finish testing them with Rockstar games being risky to play with mods anyways.
You should still figure out if you are CEX/DEX. I wasn't thinking about it before but if Rebug Toolbox freezes, then go to SEN Enabler and enter the "See PS3 Data" section. "Machine" will tell you if your console is RETAIL CEX or DEBUG DEX. Also, "TargetID" will tell you if you are using a CEX or DEX target. If your machine is CEX, then do not use a DEX Target ID, only use CEX.
If SEN Enabler blackscreens & kicks you back to XMB, then try again. (Mine does the same thing sometimes)
My PS3 was a "Consolejb's REBUG CFW" when I bought it, now it is "SKEPTiCK's REBUG CFW"
