    This CFW was tested on most PS3 Models by different testers and no problems were encountered.
    But as any CFW release you must install it with caution and by following proper instructions, No one will be held responsible for any damage caused.


    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

      It reads quite clearly there that you need firmware 3.55. If you have 4.30 you're shit out of luck.

      Have you read the actual article in full? It says what version your PS3 has to be to install it.

      Sorry, you can't install custom firmware on your PS3. You need a PS3 with firmware 3.55 or below. You can't even downgrade your PS3 because it came with 4.30. You can only downgrade to the firmware that came with it.

      Hi, Please can anyone tell me,
      1. If I update my cfw kmeaw 3.55 to 4.30cfw, will I be able to continue my games that I'm playing or will I loose all my save games?

      2. do I need to find the original Eboots again, or is it fine with patched Eboots?

      Thanks.

      1/ You do not lose saves.

      2/ That question has been discussed many many times. Read past comments.

      OK before I go and do all this stuff I have one question. Does this CFW allow you to play games like MW3 Online? I have another PS3 on OFW 4.30 and don't really feel like buying another copy so my Daughter call play online with me as Split screen sucks big time. I hate sharing my screen.

      Also has anyone tried this on a PhAT 60gb ps3.

      I downloaded a ton of crap for the CFW to try before I buy but you want to know the funny thing? I never use the stuff I downloaded as we use store bought games in the system.

      I should really just upgrade the second one to OFW 4.30 and buy games off of PSN networks so I could download it 2 times. I was just really hoping to get the full functions of my PS3 like the other OS and Backwards compat and be able to go online.

      It seems like we just play a cat and mouse game with Sony and sony seems to win and get away with f u cking over everyone that paid for a system that had the other os and Back Compat.

      rexapi why don't you just backup your saves to a USB flash stick if you are that worried...

      As for kmeaw 3.55 to 4.30 CFW... I would like to know this too, I've seen people mention that they have done it from various 3.55 CFW to 4.21 and 4.30 CFW, dunno what the risks are with this if any... might be safer to just install 3.55OFW then 4.30CFW... make sure to QA flag it first though just in case and upgrade from recovery...

      Updating from kmeaw should be OK but OFW 3.55 takes less than 10 minutes to install and is safer so I see no reason to not do that.

      MasterCrucifier -I am with you on this one, if Sony didn't **** me over with taking OtherOS away I would probably be on official firmware right now. But they sort of forced my hand and I don't feel like giving them any more money, but I still want to use the hardware I bought.

      I am glad they have been totally ****ed over now... the company is run by a load of ****ing idiots.

      So your hand was forced because you could no longer run linux WITHOUT RSX support on your 400 dollar console. So you saying the ONLY reason you have CFW is so that you can run homebrew and linux. (and the homebrew does NOT include playing emulated games you never paid for)....

      Right, and I have a bridge to sell you.

      Dude, just because the official PSXSCENE policy is no warez, and no piracy, doesnt mean you have to try to lie to yourself...

      2) You need original EBOOTs or non-TB patches re-patched to 3.6+. Easier to restore your originals. The main reason I am replying is. Be aware that if you replaced the param.sfo file for one of a different code/region, if you then restore the param.sfo back to the original the save game will not match.

      Still amazed that a company can do this and get away with it. what pisses me of the most is I was going to by a notebook for my daughter and was looking at the PS3/Xbox 360 and the guy said can I help you said just looking. I said I'm really looking for something my daughter could use as computer and the guy said you can have the best of both worlds in the PS3 Blu-Ray, other OS to use as a computer, Backwards compat. So I bought it and got a biger HDD to do this all and a day before I did the install it was all removed by Sony.

      They lost a lot of sales from me after this as I would have bought a Sony 3D TV but since they are pricks I bought a LG 3D TV, LG Blu-Ray Player. Lost sales on Cell phones and will never buy a PS4 if they come out with one.

      Imagine you buy a car and less then a year later you take it in for service and they update the onboard computer firmware and remove your power windows and locks and say if you don't allow the firmware upgrade we void your warranty.

      I love the latest firmware release from Sony that says if you upgrade the firmware you can't sue them or take part in any class action suits against them. What the hell is this BS all about?

      I'm so glad people will be able to defeat them with all these new CFW's. FU Sony

      MY PS3 that is on CFW plays BLU-Ray bought PS3 Games & Linux. Why is this so hard to believe just because I choose to buy games what is wrong with that? I'm not knocking those that pirate games.

      Games are way over priced and the crap they release for 59.99. Great example Metal of Honor Warfighter. Bought it for online play and it was the crapiest multiplayer I have seen graphics sucked and full of bugs. Why should people have to be stuck with garbage like this. I was lucky EBGames/Gamestop had a promo return the game for full value less a 1.00 a day played. So I lost a dollar but others will be out 59.99.

      Sorry I can afford to buy games and I don't need to lie to myself or knock those that choose not to pay for games.
