    About Team SGK 4.31 CFW v3.2


    Hi all, What's better than CFW OPERATIONAL!

    SGK frees me today hard fruit of my labor. In fact I worked to bring you a CFW 4.31v3.2avec interesting features which are not yet seen the new CFW 4.xx

    The basis of this CFW is based on Rogero 4.30. I added him XMBSGK + Package Manager app / home for our greatest pleasure. Some files from firmware 4.31 which ensures compatibility for the latest keysets. So you can play your backups favorites without a patch or fix. 4.31 is a spoof includes access to PSN and avoid unintended updates.


    • PSN Access
    • XMBSGK + package added
    • Lv1 Lv2 and recompiled.
    • Patched Peek & POKE
    • Coldboot replaced
    • Replaced Theme
    • More fixes ...
    • The data games, save and trophy and finally given it was removed PSVita the xmb and added XMBSGK + or
    • Added app / home package by Rogero
    • Added video file management
    • Adding music file management
    • Added file photo management
    Install Instructions


    • QA FLAG enabled


    1. Downgrade 4.25 to 3.55
    2. Install OFW 3.55
    3. Install cfw 4.31v3.2

    Accompanying the release of the update is a demonstration video showing everything that the custom firmware has to offer at this point.



    WARNING: As always, it is recommended that you have a valid NAND/NOR backup and a hardware flasher BEFORE proceeding to install this custom firmware.

      What does this CFW have that Rogero doesn't?

      curious, would like to know who has tried this and thoughts of it. Also, how would you downgrade back down/switch from it(a certain down grader?) if so desired.

      Okay, another CFW update. Is there any site with an easy to understand guide and comparison chart along with upgrading/downgrading CFW versions that's actually easy to comprehend? You've got how many new firmware's now and each have their own specific installation/upgrade/downgrade methods. I mean, if I were a total n00b who had CFW 3.55 and just flashed one of these I'd be more likely to get a brick then anything. Does such a page exist? If so might it be good to link to it in every new CFW release?

      brakk, all of the new firmwares have the same installation and downgrade methods. Install by using XMB or Recovery Menu and downgrade using any downgrader pup, I use rebug, but any should work on all 3.55+ CFWs.

      As for the new features, just open the Rebug and Rogero threads and compare, easy. This CFW feels quite lacking, I'unno, It doesn't seem to be doing anything groundbreaking yet It required so many updates to get stable.

      looks like sgk had a 4.31 cfw which it s not 4.31 it 4.30, cant wait for Rogero to make real 4.31 cfw

      It's a 4.30 CFW spoofed to 4.31. If Rogero made an actual 4.31 CFW, NOTHING would be different, It would literally be a waste of time as It wouldn't be able to do anything new and no games are patched with 4.31 keys.

      Maybe this should be called a skinned Rogero? I really dont see anything fundamentally different...

      Different theme
      Different Coldboot
      Different pkg manager

      All to look different but it acts the same. The onlything "worthwhile" on the changelog was "more fixes..." which who know could be fixed already in Rogero w/o telling us what they fixed whats the point?

      Yeah, i would love that too!! A page with a comparsion between the CFWs would be awesome. I always get confused on what CFW i should choose, but i'm actually using Rogero's 4.30 v2.03. I don't know if Rebug is good thought.

      GTA, you can't use 4.30 DEX on a regular PS3 without bricking It, thus no 4.30 REX CFW, only 4.21 done by Rebug. Seriously, why do people care If the CFW is 4.21 or 4.30? There is no reason for you guys to give a damn about a number, I'm using 3.55.3 and everything is running perfect, with the difference that I can actually fix RSOD without using flasher.

      doctorwho, you can't. Get a flasher, downgrade to 3.55, update to CFW.

      I haven't been keeping track, but some of these firmwares require "rehashing" or some other sort of procedure (before/after?) you revert back to OFW 3.55 (if that is even required - lots of guides say to go back to OFW 3.55 then upgrade to new CFW) or can be directly upgraded from a previous CFW without any mess. As you can see it's not as clean cut as you claim. I'm not that interested for myself really, but the bricking going on by users of CFW who are flashing new CFW and for whatever reasons do not know of of have access to resources like psx-scene.com for guidance. Keep in mind not every CFW user actually knows that much about any of these things.

      Only one I know of that doesn't require rehashing is the latest Rogero and Rebug. Rebug never required this but all versions of Rogero before the last update did require dehashing just as every other CFW out there requires dehashing before installaiton. I am sticking with Rebug 4.21 till there is a need to switch which I do not see. And BTW we will never see a DEX CFW over 4.21, even then your choices are Rebug the prefered but a little harder but you can switch form CEX2DEX easily after being done once. Or use PS3Ita 4.21 DEX CFW but you are stuck with DEX all the time.

      This emphasizes my question regarding a resource for CFW users. A lot of them might of gotten their firmware from places that didn't include instructions or even links to the original authors site. It would be a valuable resource given outlets for the CFW linked to it. However, due the fact I do not own any type of hardware flashing device nor have CFW I cannot create such a resource. I just feel sorry for those who grab a CFW from some obscure link or torrent and then install and brick their consoles.

      Actually brakk3n there is no such thing like CFW 4.21/4.30/4.31 because if there where they wil be no need going back to 3.55 OFW for flashing. all what the 4.21/4.30/4.31CFW are just names given to the PUP file 3.55. and latest keys to play backup having OFW above 3.55. and while downgrade if it for a specific version of OFW
