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

I agree, check your cables and make sure everything is connected properly and not loose or something.

Your help will be much appreciated.

Go buy a stack of games and enjoy playing your new ps3 with psn and current updates from sony.

Then go buy a ps3 with 3.55 or below from ebay or somewhere and come back here for study time before installing the latest cfw.

Sorry for the unfortunate news my friend.

Slim PS3 currently running 4.21 (Rogero), wouldn't let me update via XMB or recovery (was worth a try) so followed the instructions given and downgraded then upgraded to 4.30 worked perfectly.

Not found a single game that doesn't load, updating games works, all games that didn't work before now work flawlessly.

Great work on this, much appreciated.

I can't see Netflix icon anywhere, neither can I download it from the Store. Does anyone have the .pkg for it? I'm on Rogero CFW 4.30 too.

what if you just update the ones that are asking for an update??? you don't have to re-upload them since the update is going to give you the originals files anyway.

Just installed 4.30 rogero from 3.55 true blue. Nothing has changed since. The external hdd loaded perfectly with multiman prior to 4.30. Now on 4.30 CFW, I load multiman but it does not load my external hdd. Why is that? Do I have to change the folders? Maybe change from GAMEZ to GAMES? I am not at home atm but I've always used GAMEZ when I was on 3.55

sort of. when you update a game, the ps3 then reads the eboot from the hard drive, not the disc/back-up folder. so, it's not restoring the eboot, but instead providing a fresh one.

that's why when we had 3.6 keys, some games we could update and then patch whereas we couldn't patch the games in the original forms because the update actually required a lower firmware.

maybe try refreshing multiman? i've noticed sometimes multiman won't read my hard drive and refreshing will help, unplugging then replugging in or just plain restarting the ps3 all help. it usually happens when i plug something else in, e.g. another hard drive, the pseye, etc.

I have the orginal disc of MW2 that I play on my PS3 4.30 OFW and I was wondering could I copy the disk to my HD on my PS3 4.30 CFW and be able to play it or do I need to do something to it?

If I can't I will just buy another copy I think They go for about 10-15 used

Thanks

You should be able to copy it no problem. Curious why you didn't just try it instead of posting....

Upgraded to 4.30 Rogero from true blue. Had to plug external hd in the right usb for games to load. Playing dark souls online, works great.

So, what _IS_ lost after upgrading to Rogero's latest? Is everything kept (installed backups, game data, saves, PSN games)? Do I have to uninstall "fixed" PSN games that were incompatible with my 3.55 KMeaw PS3 (Wipeout Fury comes to mind)?

Is my never-downgraded-but-with-upgraded-HDD FAT finally safe to upgrade, or is there, still, a possibillity of a brick? Yeah, I know there's always the possibillity to brick, but you know what I mean, "are there more-than-normal cases of bricking with the final Rogero's CFW on fat models" (for I haven't read anything after the first wave of bricks when Rogero first released his new CFW).

And, if I understood everything correctly, to be on the safe side, I have to "jump ship" from KMeaw to Rogero 3.55, then QA Flag, then upgrade to 4.30, right?

Maybe someone can help me out... i just got my E3 Flasher today and i'm trying to unbrick my PS3 which got bricked by Rogero's CFW 4.21 1.09. I followed the unbriking instruction and read the NOR file from my PS3, used the NOR patch and re-wrote the patched NOR back to my PS3. While it was bricked the PS3 stayed on all the time but now after re-flashing the patched NOR my PS3 turns on but it turns off after few seconds and the red led keep blinking... is there anything i can do or is my PS3 totally bricked at this point???? the worst thing is that i can't use the E3 flasher because when the PS3 turns off the E3 turns off too. Probably i need to setup something on the E3 flasher switchers? its quite interesting that it behave like if it had a YLOD which i hope i didn't got in the process.

Already been asked, answered and discussed. Read past comments.

There hasn't been reports of more-than-normal cases of bricks with this CFW.

Again, been asked hundreds of times, read past comments.

I fianlly did the 4.30CFW Rogero v1.00 update...

Model: CECHG12 (FAT 2007 Hong Kong)
2.x -> 3.15 - > 3.41 -> 3.55OFW -> 3.55 Kmeaw -> QA Flag -> 3.55OFW -> 4.30 Rogero V1.00 (via recovery mode)
Fully working...

One issue however during the checking update part in recovery mode the PS3 outputted a black picture part of the way through but you could still see it accessing the USB stick so I left it and it eventually rebooted into where is flashes... WTF?

Happy bunny .

Why on earth did you install so many different firmwares before installing it? All of that really wasn't necessary you went a little overboard there lol...
