PS3 HAN Help with Error 80029517

So my problem is that I installed Han and everything worked fine, now I don't want to have it anymore and I read that if I want to remove the Han I needed to install the PS3 firmware, so I did and it worked, but until today I play a game that I bought and it worked fine but then I tried to play another game that I bought too but with another account and it gives me error 80029517. I uninstalled every game I installed with Han and I just have the ones I bought and eliminate the account I use to Install the games with han. Any idea ?
 
Your digital purchases, have you tried redownloading & installing them?
I haven't had this problem yet myself, but I've seen a few who have.

I think it had something to do with HAN having to use resigned licenses, I guess it can mess up legit digital purchases' license in the process. I'm not positive exactly how the whole process works.

The other option I could see for you is a "Factory Restore".
This would wipe the PS3 completely clean as if it were the first time turning it on.
Of course, it's not the most ideal solution. I'm sure there's another way.

When you're installing HAN, you're not really messing with the Firmware itself, or else it would have to be called CFW.

Hope you can resolve this issue without having to resort to a Factory Restore, I just wanted to throw some information out there
that might help.

Someone else could probably provide a better solution.

You could try delete the act.dat for that account, go to account management and deactivate, then reactivate it. I think this should solve it. When you make licence pkgs for HAN it installs a modified act.dat that will not work without HAN enabled afaik.

Make sure u are signed out of psn...i had same issue...i kept reinstalling and resigning no help...so i thought about it, signed out and it worked(Han enabled)
 
Where can i find the act.dat file? I deactivated the wrong account and now my games give the error code 80029517 when i try to run them, even with han enabled, i tried to reinstall games, activate and deactivate etc, nothing has worked thus far, what else could it be?

You have to dump it from PS3Xploit but before that, you must have your secondary PSN account first and it should be activated on your console.
 
So i have to re dump my act.dat inject it and and re resign my games i already installed from han will work again?
