  • WARNING: Rogero 4.21 v4 leak

    This leak is not very good news.Tortuga Cove and Rogero has a warning of a leaked testing version (V4) of Rogero 4.21 CFW that is not safe for use. Stay tuned to PSX-Scene or Tortuga Cove for news on when Rogero has a stable version of this CFW for all exploitable PS3 units.



    Tortuga Cove has confirmed with Rogero there is no version that is brick proof yet, he is very close...If you install this "leak" and brick then it is your own fault. Trolls will be very busy right now......
    We will announce here when it is released and safe....

      If you are stupid enough to install this leaked firmware, then you deserve the brick you get.

      With LVL0 ours now they know they can't do shit.

      So they're gonna use sloppy tactics against the scene now (bricking consoles, strange codes, etc..).

      Those bitches don't know when it's time to lay low and say "ok, we lost".

      Microsoft wasn't such a bitch about pirating, they obviously knew it's part of the business and you can't possibly stop it.

      Sony is trying to reinvent consoles and the way you use them with their ridiculous SOT.

      This console is MINE, I bought it, I do whatever I want with it. Sony can lick my balls.

      Can you imagine car manufacturers suddenly suing every single user that tunned their cars ? ****ing ridiculous.

      Well, good luck trying to install the more stable release without bugs when its released lol..

      You'll be downgrading to do that anyway.. thats my point.

      I'm pretty sure you'll be able to install the new 4.21CFW over this CFW, it's not an OFW.

      No. Rogero himself said on Tortuga Cove that you must downgrade back to 3.55 and then install the new CFW. You cannot install 4.21CFW over 4.21CFW.

      LOL! Here come the conspiracy theories xD

      @rob_1980 you could not be more wrong. I am on 4.21 CFW, every single game works without having to change the eboot, I can download ANY game update and install it and it works fine, can watch BBC iPlayer in full HD... Why on earth would I want to downgrade to 3.55? If I need to, to install the next CFW then I will do it then... Why the hell do it now when everything works GREAT way better than 3.55?

      Conspiracy theory ?

      Explain me how this is a conspiracy theory ?

      Sony is bricking CEX consoles using DEX FW on purpose, It's pretty obvious.

      But I'm interested in hearing your version if you don't mind.

      Sorry, what am I wrong about?

      The fact that you will need to downgrade to 3.55 if you wish to install a new cfw?

      If yours works, great for you.

      Rogero himself has said there are bugs, he is releasing a newer version when its ready.

      The version you are running is not rogero's complete work, unfortunately, its a chinese cfw that had the DRM crap removed to allow it to be free for everyone, any bugs are nto rogero's doing, but he is working to find a better release.

      I'm not denying some people seem to have a fully working version, Ive read about HHD swap issues, spinning icon issues when exiting games, as well as other issues and of course the bricks.

      What I am saying is, if you want a definite stable release without bugs (lets face it, you have no idea of any other errors that may occur yet) you will need to go back to 3.55.

      Please tell me where I am so wrong in my previous posts?

      I don't have a version because I don't dream up conspiracy theories.

      please do post a link with where your gathering your evidence of this, I'd be very interested in reading it.

      Simple. I only use my PS3 to play games and watch movies. It does both flawlessly. There is absolutely no reason for me to go back to 3.55, until I change CFW, which I am not doing right now so there is no need to downgrade.

      You have to be pretty naive if you thought Sony was going to let the CEX to DEX endure for ever.
      I don't think anyone needs any proof for this, it's common sens.

      You have absolutely no proof at all that Sony is bricking consoles. You see consoles being bricked, then you are saying the big company is responsible and doing it in secret even though there is no proof. That, sir, is a conspiracy theory.

      Thanks to the devs involved in the scene. Much appreciated. And while I'm at it, thanks to those who keep us informed.

      I'm just asking where the proof is of these FW reases sony have released to purpoesly brick consoles.. I havent heard of them before..

      You still havent said where I'm wrong?

      I never said you couldnt do those things..

      Its a pointless argument, yours is working, many are not, many will still change to the confirmed stable release when its out, why wouldnt they?

      you have nothing more than what 3.55 currently has (that I know of, so I stand corrected if im worng)

      both run all games (the newer games are being patched, thats the only difference) both have psn..

      Of course ill update to 4.21 when its released again, I see no reason not to, once its confirmed stable.

      You're taking things out of their context.

      It has been reported that the newest DEX FW (4.30) bricks CEX consoles.
      If you think this is just a coincidence, good for you.

      Some peoples just like to argue for the sake of arguing.

      I think were just asking where its been reported to validate that statement.

      Rogero's fix is complete by the looks of it, he just needs testers who previously bricked, have flashers, and are able to test it again on those machines again..
