This is no surprise. The E3 team has just released custom firmware 4.30. Dubbed E3 CFW 4.30, this custom firmware also includes a backup manager. Reports suggest that it's an old rendition of Deank's multiMAN. As usual I would advise our members to hold off and wait till true scene developers release some information regarding this custom firmware. Call me paranoid if you will but I am curious if this CFW includes any hidden agendas. Also DO NOT install this custom firmware from CFW 3.55 without following the correct procedures.

About E3 CFW 4.30

2012-10-28
The E3TEAM has released the latest E3 CFW4.30 for free. The bricking issue has been improved. Just download here and enjoy. (Pass is ' www.e3-tech.net ')

Here we mention to E3 flasher users that you do not need to solder a wire to use the latest upgrade.bin file to unbrick a console.

I found some additional info via ps3news that also mentions a previous announcement from the 26^th of this month that was later removed.

It is best if downgrading to follow the normal steps and dehashing like with Rogero just to be sure of no bricks.
E3 will be releasing an upgraded E3 Flasher 'update.bin' (firmware) to handle direct downgrading to CFW v4.30. (Beware: Their hardware required, just one of many strings disclosed)

What is the game compatibility like for 4.21 or 4.3?

From the past two days, I have been seeing a lot of people having difficulty with compatibility. Is it because of modified eboots, pre-existing gamedata, outdated multiman/payload, or other things?

yeah, it's just errors usually. i think everything but just like maybe one or two games it seems doesn't work. people need to replace with original files, change the payload, enable bd-mirror, wait out checking files, etc. Assassin's creed seems to be the only odd one where you need to make a folder.

True story:

When CFW 3.55 first appeared in the scene. I waited about three months until I tried it. I waited until the dust settled and one was announced to be the best there was. Of course that was Kmeaw's version.

I hope some wait it out. But good luck to those brave few. I just hope you know how to downgrade. That's it the best ticket to be safe.

is there any way to either remove E3 CFW or to downgrade.

Downgraded to 3.55ofw, ran QA_Flag but didn't work (3x beeps and restart), installed E3cfw anyway as have E3 Flasher installed, runs good but tried with Kingdoms of Amalur and error 017. Restored game to original EBoot etc, then applied crack pkg, still didn't work. Downgrading and trying Rogero now.
