How to bypass 4.50 when using 4.46.1 DEX

[Ra1nz0r]

First proper post here, so I thought a tutorial would be a good start.
This method means you do not need a spoofer and you can openly change your CID via PS3ita, so here we go.

You will need:

4.46 DREX [Download it here: Codename: REBUG]
PS3ita Manager 1.40 [Download it here: http://www.ps3ita.it/download/homebrew/PS3ITA_Manager_v1.40.pkg]

A: Installing 4.46

Step 1: Put the UPDATE.PUP file on a USB in the folder PS3 > UPDATE > and plug it into your PS3 while it is OFF.

Step 2: Turn on your PS3 and remove any games that are in the DVD drive. Proceed to Settings > System Update > Update Via Storage Media

Step 3: Accept all the terms and install the update.

Step 4: Once the update is complete your PS3 should restart itself and you will be on 4.46 DEX!

B: Installing PS3ita Manager 1.40 and getting online.

Step 1: Download and put the .pkg file on your USB, then plug it into your PS3.

Step 2: On your PS3, go to Package Manager > Install Package Files > Standard Package Location and click "PS3ITA_Manager_v1.40.pkg" and install.

Step 3: Once that is installed, run the app. *You will be prompted to create GAMEZ folder, just click yes* Then adjust your screen then press X to continue.

Step 4: You should get this with some funky music.

Step 5: Press Start, go to Network Tools.

Step 7: SIGN IN

*I do not accept responsibility if you are banned. Do this at your own risk.*

Edit: You can change your CID by selecting "Change console id" in PS3ita
