CFW woes, need some help/advice please

[atreyu187]

Ok so I am having troubles with kmeaw cfw right now so I am thinking of switching to waninkokos cfw but I'm worried with the lv2 prepatched bluray playback is then gone from that machine correct? And will my previously installed kmeaw pkg files still work if I switch? I had to reinstall after using one of the new rebug tools my ps3 crashed and now the bdemu.pkg file no longer works rendering multiman useless.

Now I havent tried any other pkg files to see if they install fine I just left with my family to get a bite to eat due to my frustration. I did try to run Rogeros new manager but I installed it before the crash and never ran it it the reinstall of the cfw but it locks up my ps3 when I try to use it now and it is my only other manager. So what do you think I should do as I don't want to format the hdd but I am afraid this is what it has come to at this point. I have ran out of space on my 1tb hdd in my laptop and transfered all my xvid hds to the ps3 for storage.

Now I was looking at the recovery menu and do you think the rebuild functions will still work on a cfw or even do me any good? I just desperate to keep my dlc and out of hdd space and cash. I also installed the fw spoof to stop the update nag and that happens to be the app I was using that I crashed the first time. It said success reboot and the screen went to black and the ps3 froze so I powered off with the button and rebooted and the led squence went as normal but no audio or video at all. So I reinstalled ofw 355 then installed kmeaw 355 did the fw spoof and ttried to load a game and rogero black screened and locked up as stated above and multiman will not detect the bdmeu.pkg now.

I reinstalled the app and even went into multiman and removed it manually then reinstalled. Checked and it was there again but multiman wouldn't detect it even after a fresh install of multiman. So I'm tearing my hair out and figured wannys cfw would do the trick without a hdd wipe but I don't want to lose bluray playback. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you think a restore of my regisrty files will help? Because not only do I have all my video content but when the dns trick worked I just got my taxes and bought 200 bucks worth of psn content and don't want to have to reactivate everytime I want to use it on my cfw deck as my ofw is in my kids room for my little one.

You don't lose bluray play back with Waninkoko's v2 CFW. Iv tried Kmeaw's CFW & never liked it because of the manual patching lv2/syscalls into the memory was very unstable for me & was always freezing & locking up. Waninkoko's v2 CFW is far the best CFW out there at the moment with the best stability, Doesn't rely on any 3 party to patch lv2/sycalls into the mem, Just a all in 1 great CFW.

I know most .pkg's that are signed to work for kmeaws also work on waninkoko CFW & some others dont. But, All BM's & homebrew here are released for ALL CFW's released so there's no need to worry about not finding a BM's/homebrew's .pkg for waninin's CFW.

This is what i would try i would flash back to 3.55 OFW go into recovery use the rebuild functions. then power off the system for at least 30 seconds or so just to clear the ram and then update to 3.55 Kmeaw install multiman 1.15.5 if you can find it, or get the 1.16/1 and the bdemu and set it up in the options.ini to load the bdemu.bin. you should find that all your files intact and ready to rock and roll.

Also i would advise against using the version spoof this time around as it seems to me like every time you have tried to use it it has failed you. then just lock down the system with a phoney gateway value and that should prevent access to the internet and still allow you to connect to your home network.

i cant guarantee your files will all be ok, but this has a 100% greater chance of recovering them than formatting will.

Found out it is the rebug spoof app that was the culprit. Removed it and bam everything was like normal. The payloads in backup managers need to see 3.55 but is seeing 3.56 so it fails to work. I am now however on Waninkoko v2 just to not have to hassle with lv2 patching ever again. Thanks for all your help.

I dont understand why you need to patch lv2 with kmeaw? thats not needed anymore as far as i know, i dont have it installed on my 3 ps3s, just fix permissions that i ran once, and rogero manager and MM, never do i have to patch anything, when i used to have too patch lv2 i would have freezing, but since is not necesary anymore ,ps3 runs perfect

unless your talking of something else.

UMM the answer is right above you

"The payloads in backup managers need to see 3.55 but is seeing 3.56 so it fails to work"

if the BM's with inbuilt fail to load the payload course it has to be run seperatly

multiMAN now with new update just released has no problem working with the 3.56 spoofer, as for the other apps I have yet to try them but I believe that is why the spoofer has the uninstall function
