Error Code 8002A224

[Dd-Verified-Dd]

My Cid was banned about a week ago and it didn't worry me too much because I use to use public cids here on CC all the time. I decided to try one this morning and found that im getting the error code 8002A224. All the videos on it don't help because my original cid is banned and lots of others were having the same problem. I bought this ps3 (4.50 PS3ita Dex) and it already had a banned cid. Once i restore original cid it says im banned from PSN. Once i set a new cid it gives me the error again.. What do I do?

Get new cid

I did but when I set a new unbanned cid the error message pops up again

 

[thisaintyurz]

You gotta change yur Mac address too.

That error means invalid cid

 

[thisaintyurz]

But when u get banned your cid gets hit too

Ok when i get back home im going to change the mac address. Thanks, ill tell you if it worked

 

[thisaintyurz]

Also guarantee your cid is not banned.

dude that error means invalid cid, set your id to your original one and if it says it's banned then you definitely have an invalid cid

Ok so is there any way to fix it or ho around it? Or am i screwed? Somebody told me they fixed it by switching to a CEX firmware but that seems irrelevant and stupid

when you set your id to your original and tried signing in, what did it say?

when you set your id to your original and tried signing in, what did it say?

It says, "Access to Sony Entertainment Network from this system has been banned or temporarily suspended" the normal message it gives you when your cid is banned.

So is there anything I can do?

 

[TotalModzHD]

yes, the cid you try to set is invalid so use another one

 

[Dd-Verified-Dd]

Setting a new id doesnt do anything because then it will give me the error. Even if I set a valid cid that is confirmed working for others, it will show that error

Nevermind i finally fixed it. I tried setting a cid and it didnt work. Then i set it as my boot cid and im online!
