  • Rogero Releases CEX 4.30 v2.03 Custom Firmware - Restores Install PKG Files Function

    Rogero returns with another update to his 4.30 custom firmware for CEX consoles. If you thought that his firmware took a bad turn when the Install Package Files functionality was removed, then you might want to take that back. With this update, Rogero has reimplemented the function which works better than the original. Not only that, Rogero has squashed the bugs that were present in previous releases of his custom firmware



    Rogero CEX 4.30 CFW v2.03 Changelog:

    • 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 Icon, to have a 100% original XMB.
      • [* Install Package Files] 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.
    • 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
    As always, here are some guidelines from Rogero that you should follow when updating to a new firmware:


    • 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)


    In Addition, this release has been tested and can be installed from the XMB if that is your preferred method of updating.

      Why would you need to boot directly to multiman?

      Some older games like Modern Warfare 2, it just went into a black screen and hang, whilst other games that i need to install package in XMB such as Splinter Cell HD and Ratchet Full assualt, it just give me an error message 80010017.
      Is this 'normal'? Whether yes or not, any solution to solve this, so that i could proceed with the backup games? I thought this newer version of CFW does not require me to get the eboot fix.

      Appreciate any constructive help. Thanks
      hi i just upgraded a few days ago from 3.55 kmeaw.

      Anyway i'm guessing the games you tried we're patched to work with 3.55, to fix this you have to delete the games' install data. if that doesn't work then there might be a problem with the patched eboot.bin, in that case you're going to have to restore the backup to it's original state by deleting the patched files and replacing the old ones or just re-ripping the game.

      hope that helps, i had a similar issue but with new games like AC3, RE6 and hitman :3

      im on rogero 4.30 V2.00 and have latest mM installed

      pls help
      well that's something new, im hoping there's nothing wrong (hardware-wise) with your ps3. did you try upgrading to rogero's 2.03? i think this one is alot more stable than his old ones, and can you try to isolate when the freezes occur? (ie. does it occur at certain times of the day/length of time your ps3 was on, checking how hot your ps3 is, what you were doing when the problems occur and replicating them to see if it happens again, etc)

      Ever since I upgraded from 3.55 to Rogero 4.30 v2.03, my ps3 doesn't seem like it's on CFW anymore.
      It loads up saying Rogero but when I click on anything, be it Mm, the FSM package, or install packages, it goes to a black screen and stays there now.
      I had it on kmeaw 3.55 then switched hard drives so it went back to 3.55ofw. I updated from there and this is where I'm at. Any help would be appreciated.
      I'm on a 80g fat and when I try to load the downgrader pup through system update, the system doesn't recognize it.
      Thanks,
      Johnny
      P.S. The blu-ray in it died as well before the upgrade.

      hello johnnypsx,
      i had the same problem by a vriend's 80 gig ps3..
      i had the update to rogero 4.30 v2.03 running made a backup and put in a new 1th hd then i had a error saying that there is an error with the firmware.
      luky me i hade the usb with the rogero 4.30 still in the ps3 and updated it a gain and every ting workt oky.
      I think if you put your old hd back and update to rogero 4.30 v2.03 make a backup and then put your new hd in with the usb (rogero 4.30 v2.03 on it) while switching it on you can update again and load the backup and all will be oky.
