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

One question - when I'm online does it hide my console ID or am I open for sony to ban me?

Most likely it is open for sony to ban at the moment. It would be a great homebrew addition if someone can make a simple console spoof pkg or something. In fact I may wanna take my CFW for a ride on PSN if this is done.

You should read the actual article....

Why do some people think recovery mode doesn't work on HDMI? I only use HDMI and recovery menu works fine for me.

I have a 320gb 25xxB Slim on Kmeaw CFW 3.55

Can I go, using the recovery menu:

1) Kmeaw CFW 3.55 > Rogero CFW 4.30

or do I need to:

2) Kmeaw CFW 3.55 > OFW 3.55 > Rogero CFW 4.30

Or is it even more complex, like:

3) Kmeaw CFW 3.55 > Rogero CFW 3.55 > Rogero CFW 4.30

I have had this issue in the past with recovery mode not working over HDMI, and it was different between a fat and a slim model on the exact same TV, so it's not a myth it does sometimes not work. I think a different firmware update fixed it though so it could still be an issue no idea, I would have done this on 3.15 or 3.41 can't remember which (I never used the firmwares in between) but I'm pretty sure 3.55 works properly.

Just because it works for you dosn't mean it works for others... and it's nothing to do with the TV.

Anyone got problems after updating to CFW 4.30 for Multiplayer games?
I have retail RE5 and RE6 on discs - they work perfectly fine for single player games and I can search the list of players through "Quickmatch", but while I try to join game - it always give ""Failed to join game session" message.
Yet, I can join fat princess games or backup DOA5 with online pass without any issues.

Is this something game specific? Thanks.

Awesome stuff here. I'm going to convert my dex back to cex, and upgrade to this once this hurricane passes, and i'm not at risk of losing electricity half way through. Even if all of the games are playable on 3.55 anyway, it's still pretty nice to not have to worry about getting patched eboots, being able to update, etc.

I didn't say with it only working for me with just one console. I have done it on several, phat and slim, and also told people to do it on theirs and it always worked. This is why I said that.
