The only truly safe way of playing on PSN is getting a second PS3 and not modding it. If you make sure not to play on PSN with HEN enabled (and you never screw up) it would be difficult for Sony to detect HEN, probably impossible from the server side, however I've heard about cases where the game itself actively scanned the files on the console and reported to PSN if it found any homebrew installed, leading to bans. I think it was GTA V but don't catch me here. Also there might be methods that we're not aware of.
It's not common but there have been cases of people getting banned even though they have disabled syscalls / not enabled HEN. If you want to be on the safe side just buy a cheap 2nd hand superslim and keep it on OFW.

I touched on this a bit here
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/playstation-3-faq-2023-wip.39181/

Some of the first person shooter's that rely on personal servers have been known to have to better detection then Sony,
but what user's fail to tell the community many times in bans is accurate information. Alot of those first person shooter will detect a pirated game as a potential ban flag as well. Certain titles will make more effort then Sony themselves. With HEN if your activated when online, personally i think the risk as well, Your safer then any CFW user's in my view in that scenario

Correct me if I'm wrong but is it even possible to play pirated games with syscalls disabled? Ethics aside, trying to play a pirated game on PSN is just plain stupid.
Also, even with syscalls disabled / HEN not loaded, detecting whether your console is hacked is as easy as checking for popular homebrew in /dev_hdd0/game.

BTW It might be even possible for a game to detect CFW / HEN when you're not even logged to PSN and report it to the game studio's servers. I'm not aware of any games actually doing this but maybe someone else does.

So not sure if you wanna add it but CECH-250X & up models still work fine with a bad BD drive as they do not have the daughter board. Also fixed a small typo that says PS3JEN @STLcardsWS

The only "safe" way is with no hacks. Luckily most of the games that caused bans are offline aside from the last two COD games. That being said if you have a HEN only system do not enable it to play safely. As for CFW I used System Update Debug to allow me to swap from a CFW to a dual boot OFW for online play.

Just update to Evilnat 4.90, there's no reason whatsoever to stay on 4.87.
Regarding trophy sync, it's considered generally safe to sync trophies even on CFW (with syscalls disabled of course) as long as they're all legit. If you have any hacked trophies (i.e. you've used CFW or homebrew tools to unlock them without obtaining them properly in-game) then they'll be detected and you'll be banned even if you switch to OFW.

What Coro said.
Regarding syscalls - CFW provides custom syscalls that give homebrew apps low level access that the PS3 normally doesn't allow (e.g. full access to the file system). Usually these are a good thing, however if you're going to go login to PSN you need to disable them, since their existence can flag your PS3 as being modded, leading to a ban of both your account and your hardware. Evilnat CFW has the ability to disable syscalls baked in, making tools like PSN Patcher / SEN Enabler obsolete. Also if you have webMAN MOD installed you can disable syscalls by pressing R2+Triangle.

Make sure you're installing the correct variant - Since you're on D-PEX it means you're probably on DEX mode, which means you should install D-PEX, however if you've used the CEX2DEX menu to convert the unit back to CEX mode then you should install PEX.

Error 80022D88 means that neither your trophies nor your savefiles nor your licences belong to your current user and/or console.

Best solution is to make a backup of your savefiles, and then delete your local account and do a resync of your trophies and licences with PSN.

Just use a fresh account, install the game, start it once and let it update, then quit, connect to PSN and sync trophies. Make sure the new account has no prior trophies or savegames when you do that. Do not restore any backups, as you'll just run into the same error again.

Well, that's the problem. You are trying to sign trophies with a different PSID from your main PSN account and console ID.

Do as NiQ said. Start clean, run your game a first time, then fool around with the new trophy set.

The one you are trying to use will never work.
