Rogero CEX-4.30 v1.00 Details

Compatibility problem with some PS3 models is now fully fixed.
XMB Icons problem from in-game PS button is now fixed. (Using the Patch included in the package: "PS3~dev_blind.zip")
PSN/SEN access is available as long as the current "passphrase" still the same.
Loading games from App_home Icon is now fixed.
It was tested by hundreds of testers on all PS3 models (FAT & Slim) and no problems were encountered.
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

ATTENTION:

1- This CFW doesn't have LV1 checks disabled and can't be installed on Downgraded PS3 consoles unless you have Dehashed/Reset Syscon Properly (if you're not sure about your PS3, Dehash it anyway to avoid any risk) Link ----> Dehashing Tutorial

2- Always make a NOR/Nand dump using multiMAN or memdump before installing any CFW to have a recovery backup in case of any bricks.
Having a valid NOR/Nand dump is an essential step before upgrading, because you will always have a way to recover (using hardware flashers) when you have a valid dump.
** A Hardware Flasher alone without a valid dump may not fix your bricked PS3 **

3- The QA flag must be always Enabled on your PS3 for safer upgrading/downgrading operations. Link ----> toggle_qa.pkg

4- Always use the Recovery Menu while installing this CFW to avoid possible bricks (XMB update works, but Recovery Menu is safer).

6- Please Check the MD5 of the downloaded PUP file before installing any CFW to avoid possible bricks.

7- DO NOT HAVE DISC IN PS3 WHEN UPDATING FIRMWARES..As the PS3 will take the UPDATE from the DISC First.

8- You need to already be on 3.55 to install this. Installing from any firmware other than 3.55 will simply not work

UPDATING FROM CFW 3.55 to CFW 4.30 --- CLICK TO READ

- Updating from CFW3.55/4.21 to the CFW4.30 v1.00 should be done using the following steps :
1- Proper Way ( CFW4.21 --> CFW3.55 --> CFW4.30 )
---- Downgrade back to ver3.55 using the guide above.
---- Once on Rogero CEX3.55 v3.7 you can update again from Recovery Menu into the new CFW4.30 v1.00.

2- Alternative Way #1 ( CFW4.21 --> XMB Update --> CFW4.30 )
---- You can try updating from CFW4.21 to CFW4.30 v1.00 from XMB by using the "System Update --> Update via Storage Media".
---- If it didn't work, then you'll have to use the Alternative Way #2.

3- Alternative Way #2 ( CFW4.21 --> Recovery Menu --> CFW4.30 )
---- You can try updating from CFW4.21 to CFW4.30 v1.00 from Recovery Mode.
---- If it didn't work, then you'll have to use the first Proper Way ( CFW4.21 --> CFW3.55 --> CFW4.30 )

- Changing/Upgrading the HDD while on Rogero CFW4.30 should be done using the following steps :
- Download the Downgrader PUP ---> Downgrader PUP mirror ---> Downgrader PUP
Size 176MB (184,595,263 bytes) MD5: 49d80e07fc1f5ca1b0840e02e94635db
- Rename the downloaded file to "PS3UPDAT.PUP" and put it on your USB in: "USB\PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP"
- Swap the current HDD with the New HDD, Turn the PS3 on, follow screen instructions and let it install the Downgrader CFW.
- After the Downgrader CFW installs you'll be on a hybrid CFW3.55 that will still shows ver4.21 from system settings.
- Enable QA flag by following these steps:

Download the Rebug QA_Toggle package from here ---> toggle_qa.pkg
Put the "toggle_qa.pkg" on USB and Install it on the PS3.
Run the "Rebug Toggle QA" from XMB, the screen will go Black and you will see HDD Led activity then if all went fine you will hear 2 or 3 Beeps and the PS3 will Restart back to XMB.
If you want to make sure QA flag was set, go to "Network Settings" then apply the following key combo (all at the same time):

L1 + L2 + L3 (press left stick) + R1 + R2 + dpad_down

You should see Edy Viewer, Debug Settings, and Install Package Files if done correctly.

- 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.

Useful Hint: you can simply use CondorStrike's Updater package from XMB to enter Recovery Menu directly from XMB without going through several restart/shutdown sequences. --> Condor Updater v2.0

Also, I have some bad news. There will never be a CFW that can install over 3.55+ OFW, so give it a rest.

he's an ass hole that has not been reading too much just playing detective from he's head,

plus 3.55 fixes and homebrew dont work on this becuz of the new keys, what a genius.

Btw guys, you can go from any 3.55 CFW, 4.21 CFW and even 4.30 CFW to this from Recovery Menu, getting back to 3.55 OFW is just safety measure. Tested this on 4 Slim PS3s and worked perfect. Since this is still lacking better homebrew compatibility so for now, I actually recomend to stay on 3.55 CFW.

fats should stay clear it seems. just stay on 3.55 for now. you should see a cfw from another group soon that should be as stable as 3.55 fw's and have as many features.

also, there might be a way to get cfw over 3.55, i could see it.

One year ago every dev in the PS3 scene kept saying there won't be any 3.60+ CFW ever, because it's impossible.

Look where we're standing now.

They were saying the exact thing I just stated. They were talking about installing CFW on 3.60 OFW.

Since these 4. xx firmware was released I can now use my Sony wireless stereo headset that previously did not work on ANY cfw ps3 since they only updated it on 3. 60 Firmware to be compatible, then you can also play NEW 3D Blu-Ray such as the new Avengers movie on my PS3. And then u have the added bonus of not need needing to even patch games. They may be using 3. 55 keys but they have all the options of the newer firmware included.

Rather than attempt to pick on someone for one typo you might want to go back to school and learn to read as I never asked for 4x cfw For 4x ofw

You're not getting my point.

What I'm trying to say is, don't be too categoric in your statements.

And no, they clearly said there won't be any new CFW after 3.55.

Maybe i am just weird, but why do none of the guides that require you to install 3.7 Rogero, actually link to the required file.

Does anyone have a mirror they could post. I would like to work on figuring out the downgrade/upgrade process. I am really hoping to get some DLC for Nazi Zombies while psn is up.

Sorry, I misread. I thought you were implying that 4.30 CFW has to be installable on OFW. So what would qualify as 4.30 CFW to you?

So my question is we have to keep downgrading o install these new cfw's, is it gonna be possible that we can downgrade in the future without flashers for new cfw's? Say i was on 4.30cfw now and then they come out with 4.40cfw

Im on 3.55 Kmeaw right now. This is the only firmware I have installed so I dont have much experience how is the best way to install cfm.

Ive heard mention its best to go back to 3.55 OFW, then do the 4.30cfw update. Where do I find the official firmware of 3.55?

If you are on 4.30cfw you dont need a hardware flasher to upgarde to 4.40cfw, you simple need to follow the guide that is in EVERY Rogero firmware release and downgarde to 3.55 then upgrade to the newest cfw.
