Rogero a PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware Developers has released V2 of his 4.30 CFW along with a 4.21 CFW version. The 4.30 CFW has been built from scratch using official 4.30 firmware files (CEX files). All the issues like XMB icon sorting and Demo Mode from v1.04 are now all in the past with v2.00. LV1/LV2 patches were added for many additional features such as Direct Disc Access you can view all additional features below in the changelog. For additional information please checkout the Official Rogero CFW V2 thread @ tortuga-cove. NOTE: You must have multiMAN v04.12.00 Prior to installing this CFW.-- LINK

You must have multiMAN version 04.12.00 installed on the PS3 before updating to CFW4.30 v2.00 or you won't be able to install Package files until you downgrade again to version 3.55 and Install multiMAN 04.12.00

4.30 v2.00

Rebuilt from scratch using OFW4.30 files only (no DEX/SEX files) with official XMB and full features working as in OFW4.30
All known problems like XMB icons sorting and Demo Mode issues from v 1.04 are now all gone with the use of the official XMB.
Removed the classical "Install Package Files" Icon from XMB to have a 100% original XMB (no DEX/SEX files used).
Installing Package Files can be done from multiMAN 04.12.00 (XMMB Home column or MMOS File Manager).
Patched LV1 to disable LV2 Protection.
Patched LV1 to add peek/poke support to replace hvc 182/183 (multiMAN Direct Disc Access is now working fine with CFW4.21/4.30 v2.00)
Patched LV1 to disable SYSTEM MANAGER INTEGRITY CHECK (to prevent Bricking on non-dehashed downgraded consoles)
Patched LV1 Core OS Hash Check (to prevent Bricking on non-dehashed downgraded consoles)
Patched LV2 to add peek/poke support. (for both LV1 and LV2)
Patched VSH to enable ReActPSN compatibility (Allow Unsigned act.dat and *.rif files, Disable Unlinking/Deleting of act.dat)
Spoofed the system version to latest OFW version 4.31.
PSN/SEN access is available as long as the current "passphrase" still the same.
Loading games from App_home Icon is now fixed.
It can run games signed with Keys up to version 4.30 without any Eboot/Sprx patching needed
Games can be loaded from Disc Icon (with Original game in BD) and from app_home (Disc-less, but not all games).
Current 3.55 homebrew applications can't be loaded on this CFW, applications must be re-signed properly for FW4.21/4.30

4.21 v2.00

Same Features as CEX_4.30 v2.00 plus the following add-ons:
1.) It does have the default "Install Package Files" node on XMB. (no need to have multiMAN installed before using it)
2.) It does have LV1 Checks Disabled and can be used directly instead of Rogero3.55 v3.7 while downgrading with Hardware Flashers.
3.) It does have the Proper Cinavia Disabled Files for the users who needs it.

I installed Roger 4.30 everything went smoothly, but because I had an old MultiMan then after installation I got a massege that says the DATA PS3
corrupted something and I tried to install again from the recovery menu but when I press on the 6 line it just freeze and could not do anything just disconnect and connect the PS3 but somehow I managed to get along with people . Just turned on the PS3 and let him to do what he needs to work again as it did a restore to the data and work out and now I'm working on Roger 4.30 v1.00. So my question is whether I will downgrade to 3.55 process according to the guide of Rebug and the SYSTEM UPDATE goes fine, and after this I will enter to the recovery menu and then I do not know what to do if the 6 Option freeze when I press on it. There's someone that have the same situation like this? and how can I fix this? I don't want to start the update to other cfw when I don't know if it's work.

I had installed Rogero 4.30, and then saw on tortuga that I needed to downgrade to 3.55 in order to install 4.30v2, I did, but when I checked the system info, it showed I was on 4.21. I tried to downgrade again, but it says data is corrupted. Then I found a video that had the new Rogero with another earlier cfw from Rogero and the condor updater and toggle QA. I did this in sequence according to the video and the instructions. But to no avail, I always get a "data is corrupted" error, or the data is not applicable error, and now I'm stuck on 4.21, I can't even upgrade to Rogero CEX 4.21v2, is there something I did wrong? or am I stuck on 4.21?

Did you remember to QA Flag your console? Did you try to install from recovery menu? (take your disc out first)

There is no disc inside the console, and yes it is QA'd. I don't know if something was done wrong that it no longer will update? I feel stuck. I tried everything but get every error in the book, I have even redownloaded everything in order to make sure I didn't have a bad file but I still get the error.

@ibrodmx I believe you can use the 999 downgrader from rebug.

It should work.

maybe you are still on the hybrid CFW3.55

After the Downgrader PUP installs you'll be on a hybrid CFW3.55 that will still shows ver4.21/4.30 from system settings
Enable QA flag

Now put "Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7" on your USB in: "USB\PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP" ---> Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7.PUP
- Start the PS3 into Recovery Menu and install "Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7" (from Recovery Menu, this is important)
- Once you're back on Rogero CFW3.55 v3.7 Start the PS3 into Recovery Menu and install any CFW 3.55/4.21/4.30 all this from tortuga cove
