first of all this will not work on HAN since it requires homebrew apps.
enter the file manager and go under dev_hdd0/home/000000xx/exdata/ (as shown in the pictures).
the act.dat file that you're looking for is just sitting there copy it to your usb and you're done.
AND BEFORE ALL MAKE SURE THAT YOU ALREADY ACTIVATED YOUR SYSTEM
but first you need to identify your idps, we will be using psnpatch, run it and you will get this.
next you will need a hex editor software. I used HxD since it's simple, easy to install and doesn't require a system restart.
install it, click on file then new and type your idps.
type your idps as it is then save it and name it exactly "idps.hex".
in case you are confused here's a video showing you how to type your idps in the hex editor.
so that's it you got the 2 files you were looking for, hope this tutorial was helpful and good luck with your hunt.
if there is anything that i missed lemme know.

- starting with act.dat :
enter the file manager and go under dev_hdd0/home/000000xx/exdata/ (as shown in the pictures).
when u open home folder, you will find inside of it a lot of folders with a number e.g 00000026.
each one of these represent one of the accounts you currently have on your ps3, and each one has it's own act.dat
but you want to have the act.dat of your main account which you use to play your games and go online.
let's assume you picked a folder named 00000016, to check if it's the right one open it and browse to 00000016/friendim/avatar/ (as demonstrated in the pictures).
open me.png and it should show your current psn avatar.

- For idps.hex :
but first you need to identify your idps, we will be using psnpatch, run it and you will get this.
normally the real and current idps should be the same, but for people who switched from CEX to DEX these two IDs won't be identical due to changes on the LV2 thus you have to pick the real one (framed). Write it down and head to your computer.
next you will need a hex editor software. I used HxD since it's simple, easy to install and doesn't require a system restart.
install it, click on file then new and type your idps.
