To connect to SEN, for spoofing, You need real IDPS. Which means You need buy it from shady people or extract from another Sony consoles.
 
Yeah I figured it out but how do I pass the psn sign in because I do everything it says but then it tells me I can't sign in to an account with another user connected but I don't have another user is the problem

I tried to sign in after successfully unbanning my console but I am wondering if cfw has anything to do with this error message that says it's the same account used on different account but I don't have a psn account on my console at all

That's not an account ban. That PS3 is registered under someone else's account. I'm not sure what to do outside of calling Sony. The person was supposed to deactivate the system when they sold it.

You need to create another user on the PS3. Once you activate the console using a PSN account, the current user is permanently attached to that account and no other PSN account can log in with the same user.
 
Well, it's registered under someone else's account. I had the same problem with my superslim, because it was registered to my old account. I had to sign in to psn on the PC to deactivate it in order to register it under my new account. I don't know how it is with a single account, but deactivating all accounts is only allowed like every six months. I know Nintendo does something similar with activations.

There's also what Charles said. At some point Sony reduced the maximum number of activated consoles per account from 5 to 2. If you had a PS3 and it broke or you reformatted it or sold it without deactivating it first, you might have reached the limit. You should go to Sony's website, see if you have any already activated PS3s and deactivate them.
 
How could I possibly deactivate a ps3 you can't even sign in normally now you have to sign in with a QR code so how could I possibly deactivate a console

I figured it out thanks guys

I assume the reason was to prevent game sharing piracy. I'm not sure about PlayStation, since I've always owned just one of each system, but to prevent it with Microsoft and Nintendo, they force you to sign in to play games on each subsequent system.

Basically it's to prevent a scenario where you have up to four friends login to their PSN accounts on your console and downloading their digital games to it, and probably in exchange you to the same on their console. It means that previously a group of up to 5 people can share their digital games with each other. That's why Sony reduced it to 2.

That's what I figured. People were doing that on the 360, and it was obviously a huge red flag considering you have to be online. Mass bannings from what I remember. There was also a modchip for the PS4 to increase share to 99. Mass bannings there too.

It's not a modchip, just a hardware flasher. You give your PS4 to someone and then he does this:
1. Activate the PS4 using an account that has a lot of purchased games.
2. Download all purchased games to the console.
3. Set the console as the primary console, so it can run those games without being online.
4. Use a hardware flasher to dump the entire console's internal flash (and HDD).
5. Deactivate the console.
6. Use the hardware flasher to restore the backup

What you have now is a console that thinks it's activated and set as primary and will readily play all downloaded games, while PSN servers think you have no activated consoles, which means you can activate another one without deactivating the first. Rinse and repeat, basically pirating those games to as many consoles as you want without even having to mod them.
Obviously, this works only offline. If you try to go online, PSN will notice the double activation and ban your console. Well, those people who pirate games usually warn you to never go online with those consoles but I guess you can never underestimate idiots.
