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.

This CFW can be installed fine from XMB Update over any OFW3.55/CFW3.55/CFW4.21/CFW4.30.
For details about Downgrading back to CFW/OFW3.55 Please read the Downgrade Guide below

Rogero CFW4.30 v2.05

Changed the [app_home/PS3_GAME] IPF Name and Icon to show as "ToolBox" now so we don't have duplicate "IPF" entries on XMB.
Added the Cinavia Patched Video Player module to disable the Cinavia Protection on HDD based content ( Credits to Team Rebug for the module )
Added the new patches for the Original "*Install Package Files" and "Install All Packages", Credits to Szalay and "hidden Man".
Updated Dean's "app_home\*Install Package files" (Toolbox in v2.05) to the latest version, it doesn't requires additional HDD space or restart.
All the previous features of version 2.03 are all preserved.

For all the users that are having the Singstar Icon on XMB, please know that this is a pure Original FW 4.30/4.31 feature and
it seems it is only showing for Europe users when they connect the PS3 to the internet.

Here's two links to the SingStar problem with OFW4.30 :
---> Singstar Icon appeared after online update to FW 4.30

SingStar Replacement
installPKG [SingStar Replacement].pkg (254.08KB)

Multiman
multiMAN ver 04.18.00 (20320105).zip (29.32MB) <-- official Link from Dean
N.B: other links were removed because the main link was updated by Dean.

The zip includes CEX and DEX updates and the BASE STEALTH.

Added support for downloadable packages/files in the Web column
Fixed some minor issues (rename/delete) when using "Game Settings" menu (after using L1/R1 to switch games)
Reworked some core functions and improved mM's performance even more
Added back "Install Package Files Method" to Settings for 4.30 firmwares
Removed pulsing of the currently selected entry (works better with some fonts)
"Game Settings" menu now loads faster
If the background game-verification didn't complete and you had to wait for "Verifying..." it will now happen only once per game. The result of the verification is now remembered

Remember to show your appreciation for multiMAN

Rogero CFW4.30 v2.03 Details

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 previous versions are now gone with the use of the official XMB.
New Improved "Install Package Files" Application added to XMB instead of using the traditional DEX module, to have a 100% original XMB.
Once the PS3 is booted, select the [app_home/PS3_GAME] Icon and It will change automatically to "ToolBox"
If you load a Game from multiMAN it will still be redirected and shown under the same [app_home/PS3_GAME] Icon
After loading a Game, you can restart the PS3 again to have "ToolBox" back on XMB
You can also Install the new stand-alone XMB application from Deank --> [* Install Package Files] to have it showing permanently on XMB.

Install Package Files (ToolBox in v2.05) function supports:
- up to 256 pkg files
- split pkg files
- sorting
- queued PKG indication (in red)
- multipart (split) PKG indication (in yellow)
- copy/transfer progress
- Scanned locations: /dev_usb*** /dev_hdd0 /dev_bdvd in /PKG /packages and root folders
- Split files format: .0 - .63 / .66600 - .66663 / .001 - .064
CFW Structure fixed to match the OFW 4.xx Structure:
No more corrupted data error messages while Installing from XMB or Recovery Menu.
The CFW can be installed fine from XMB Update over any OFW3.55/CFW3.55/CFW4.21/CFW4.30.
HDD can be swapped/changed and the CFW4.30 v2.03 will re-install without any problem.
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 CFW4.30 v2.03)
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)
The CFW can be used directly for Downgrading with Hardware flashers /Flashing from FSM/Exiting from FSM, all works fine.
The CFW have both noBD/noBT patches to allow installation on consoles with broken BluRay Drive or Bluetooth board.
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

ATTENTION:

This CFW does have LV1 checks disabled and can be installed on Downgraded PS3 consoles even if not dehashed after downgrade. Just in case anyone still need to dehash, here's the link Link ----> Dehashing Tutorial
Always make a NOR/Nand dump using multiMAN 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 chance to recover when you have a valid dump.
** A Hardware Flasher alone without a valid dump may not fix your bricked PS3 **
The QA flag is better to be always Enabled on your PS3 for safer upgrading/downgrading operations. Link ----> toggle_qa.pkg
Please Check the MD5 of the downloaded PUP file before installing any CFW to avoid possible bricks.
DO NOT HAVE DISC IN PS3 WHEN UPDATING FIRMWARES..As the PS3 will take the UPDATE from the DISC First.
You need to be already on a 3.55OFW or 3.55CFW/4.21CFW/4.30CFW to install this. Installing from any OFW > 3.55 won't work. (Hardware Flasher needed)

Downgrading back to 3.55 is always possible 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"
While on Rogero CFW4.30, go to System Update from XMB and install the Downgrader PUP.
After the Downgrader PUP installs you'll be on a hybrid CFW3.55 that will still shows the spoofed ver4.21 from system settings.
In case you didn't have it Set Before, Enable QA flag by following these steps:

Enable QA

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 and install "Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7" using the System Update from XMB.
Once you're back on Rogero CFW3.55 v3.7 you can now install any CFW 3.55/4.21/4.30 using the System Update from XMB
( or Recovery Menu if XMB Update didn't work ).

First of all I misread the title and thought it was 4.40. Second of all, Rebug is the best 4.30 CFW so you're wrong about that. For some reason this post shows the article was posted today for me.
