Yay we now have new CFW’s to install on our PS3′s, that is awesome, but unfortunately, that has brought with it a new wave of n00bs, now don’t get me wrong, i’m not bashing n00bs, we are all n00bish at something, but it appears that n00bs in the PS3 Scene don’t like to read information, so this is why i will sticky this on the front page for a little while, so i will get on with things:

Q.) I’m too afraid to risk going to 4.xx CFW, how can i still have Homebrew ?
A.) Well this is obviously the wrong thread for you, i advise you read this article regarding Jailbreaking on the stable 3.55 CFW, so go here:
PS3 Jailbreaking F.A.Q – An Amateur Users Guide – Revised For 2012

 For those of you wanting 4.xx CFW, then continue reading below.

Q.) I have a 3K or 4K model, can i install 4.xx CFW.
A.) No any model in which you cannot downgrade to 3.55 or any model that has the new bootldr cannot have CFW installed, there is no timeline of when these models will be hacked or if they will ever be hacked, so go away and try and find a downgradeable model, for the rest of you lucky people with good PS3′s, continue below

Q.) Can 4.xx CFW be installed on 4.xx OFW ?
A.) NO, NO and NO, you need to DOWNGRADE to a 3.55 Firmware.

Q.) Can i Software Downgrade from 4.xx OFW ?
A.) NO, at the moment you MUST, use a Hardware Flasher, like Progskeet or E3, if you are comfortable with soldering, then Progskeet is the recommended device.

Q.) Can i brick my PS3 installing a 4.xx CFW ?
A.) Yes, as with all OFW’s or CFW’s you have a chance of bricking, with CFW’s your chances of bricking become a lot higher, when you dont read.

Q.) Can i brick my PS3 by downgrading ?
A.) Of course you can, but most bricks occur due to user error.

Q.) Who is to blame for any bricks ?
A.) You as the user are, most bricks are down to user error, take your time to read, take your time to understand, take all the time possible and have some patience, it will pay off and be rewarding in the end.

Q.) Will there ever be a method to upgrade from straight from 4.xx OFW to 4.xx CFW ?
A.) We are but mere mortals, we are not psychic, the only advice that one can give you is, be patient and wait until the PlayStation 4 is released.

Q.) Will there ever be a method to Software Downgrade from 4.xx ?
A.) We are but mere mortals, we are not psychic, the only advice that one can give you is, be patient and wait until the PlayStation 4 is released.

Q.) So how do i do all this and do it safely ?
A.) READ BELOW!!!!!!!!

OTHER USEFUL TIPS AND HELP

PS3HaX member CaptainCPS-X has written quite a good quide for those installing Rogero’s 4.30CFW, here it is:

PS3 Applications/Software For 4.xx CFW

Emulators For 4.xx CFW

A nice helpful thread thanks to PS3HaX Member LoboGuara
PS3 Emulators – Permalinks

The latest update for mmCM is out bringing us to v04.09.00

The latest update brings the following new changes:

• Update online covers database(fixed fifa 13/maiden/dishonored covers)
• Updated gameDATA3, lastGAME3 and bdRESET3 to support 4.30CFW
• Updated showTIME to 04.01.208 (standalone PKG and showTIME for mM)
• Added hidden option in options.bin “kid_protection” (to control access to settings/mmos)

Yes, media is twisting facts and contacting sources that are kinda mediocre (lame) in terms of explaining to the average reader = What happened, what will happen and many other *details* that gets copy/pasted all over the place.
Thing is if this is true maybe Sony due to the recent events with Lv0-Gate (bootldr) will push the release date of PS4 (AKA Orbis).
Meanwhile on Microsoft side with Xbox720 they maybe exploring a subscription based pricing.

The PS3 got hacked recently, as we reported here. The system’s Lv0 keys were leaked apparently by a Chinese hacking team. Sony had a terrible time since 2010 after Geohot got his hands on the system and managed to compromise it. Sony bounced back but it wasn’t enough, it was a tough battle against a bunch of hacker groups and an entire third-party team looking to DDOS your network.

Sony fought back and some may say they won and managed to keep the PS3 secure, but it looks like the system is hacked again. And this time it allows hackers to do anything they want if they’re on firmware 3.6.

This could, of course, force Sony to release the PS4 sooner (according to inentertainment)  if the software sales fall down below desired levels. Not a big deal though, since I think it’s coming next year anyway because no way Sony and Microsoft will give Nintendo another year in the market.

We have more reports coming in that Microsoft may be exploring a subscription based pricing for the Xbox 720. It is sort of a subsidized pricing scheme that we saw earlier with the Xbox 360 $99 model.

This is what the Easternmorningherald reports:

As mentioned, this subsidized pricing scheme is still in its early stages but it seems to be getting good response in some sectors; particularly the ones who would prefer saving cash upfront when it comes to getting their consoles.

If you’re a PS3 gamer that’s super heavy into scene activity, than you know that being effective at your art means being able to encrypt, decrypt and manipulate every single one of those system files to your possible greatest advantage. As you probably already know, there are hordes upon hordes on tools that you  can use to get the job done, but I personally have spent a lot of time cataloguing nathan_r32_69‘ PUAD PUP Unpacker and Repacker. Let’s see what this new program holds!

It hasn’t been too long since the last update at 1.1, but that doesn’t mean that this little tool is any less effective. As is the usual, what makes this particular option really shine is all about the simplicity. To make this program function to your liking, all it takes is to simply drop the file into the marked section of the GUI, and watch the program do it’s work. What’s exceptionally great about how this works is that you also don’t need cgywin to get things moving either, because it works directly from Windows. I’m hesitant to call this novice-friendly simply because it deals with such complex file architecture, but it still works nicely alongside other options.

 

With regards to new features, 1.2 has plenty of small additives. For repacking purposes, you can now repack the UPL.xml as well as the Core_OS files should you need to. There has even been a few safeguards put in place with the decryption of said files to reduce bricking. With lv0 decryption and swu.self encryption tossed in for good measure there’s a lot to be found alongside the software’s new boot options as well. To streamline things even more, the .puad file extension has also been created to allow for default opening of  appropriate files on your computer. In a way, nathan_r42_69 outdoes himself again with this very small but mighty GUI.

 

Features:

- Unpacks PUP file
- Decrypts/Unpacks CORE_OS
- Decrypts/Unpacks Dev_flash
- Decrypts SELF files of CORE_OS
- Decrypts SELF files of Dev_flash
- Unpacks RCO file contents
- Decrypts index.dat

WARNING:

DESIGNED TO UNPACK/DECRYPT/REPACK PUP FILE CONTENT QUICKLY
DON’T PLAY WITH CORE_OS IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING
I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE OF ANY DAMAGE, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

Thank You to all the people who tipped me about this, including Pockets69 and Rated-R Superstar

PS3HaX member CaptainCPS-X has written quite a good quide for those installing Rogero’s 4.30CFW, here it is

Tips #1 – Installing FW Safely

- Only install FW’s via Recovery Menu (not to be confused with FSM).
- Avoid XMB install at all costs.
- Remove any disc / sd card / storage devices before installing any FW.
- Use a clean USB Storage Device with only the needed PUP structure in it.
- Make sure Toggle QA worked if you going to upgrade any CFW

Tips #2 – Prepare PS3

- If you are on OFW 3.55, upgrade to Rogero CFW 3.55 [v3.7] [MD5: 8f8166b25d6bed891f292c77de5c4b28]

- If you are on CFW 3.55 (TrueBlue / Cobra / Rebug / Etc):
* Install Toggle QA PKG from the XMB and make sure the Controller combo works before proceeding.
* Only after making sure that the QA Combo works fine, upgrade to Rogero CFW 3.55 [v3.7] [MD5: 8f8166b25d6bed891f292c77de5c4b28]

- If you are already on Rogero 3.55 (v3.7), make sure that the QA Flag combo is working before proceeding.

Tips #3 – Properly using Toggle QA PKG

1- Install the PKG from the XMB
2- Run the installed “Toggle QA” application from the Game column, PS3 will black screen and beep 2 / 3 times then send you back to XMB.
3- Make sure to verify everything went well by going to Settings column and hover Network Settings, then press L1 + L2 + L3 (press left stick) + R1 + R2 + dpad_down (You should see Edy Viewer, Debug Settings, and Install Package Files if done correctly)

UPDATE: thanks to @ryugen- for pointing out that if you leave any USB Device connected to the PS3 while using the Toggle QA application, it will give some problems, so please, make sure you disconnect any device connected to the USB slots while doing so .

Tips #4 – Installing Rogero CFW 4.30 (v1.0)

- The safest way to install it is to be on Rogero CFW 3.55 (v3.7), as I have mentioned on my previous tips, if you decide to do so on other CFW, is your choice.

- Make sure Toggle QA works
- Make sure all tips I mentioned earlier have been verified.
- Install Rogero CFW 4.30 (v1.0 / Patched ) via Recovery Menu [MD5: 7ADF524594D46EF669F4C64E07462631].

Tips #5 – Finally, while on CFW 4.30, Install multiMAN v04.08.01 and PS3~dev_blind.zip provided by Rogero at Tortuga Cove.

1- Install multiMAN from XMB
2- Activate “write access” to “dev_flash” on multiMAN settings
3- Go to mmOS / file manager and locate the PS3~dev_blind.zip and double click it (pressing X twice)
4- Follow on-screen instructions and restart your PS3.

UPDATE: Thanks to @Simonbuck for pointing out that this is not needed on the latest Rogero CFW 4.30 “Full Pack” released recently.

You can get the updated full pack here:

http://www.tortuga-cove.com/forums/v…p?f=127&t=3708

Tips #6 – Making sure game backups are correct

- Make sure all games are unmodified and without 3.55 patches (SPRX/ EBOOT / SDAT / etc)
- Make sure you remove all Game updates from XBM->Game Data Utility, to make sure you didn’t install any patched ones.
- Make sure you activate BD-Mirror on multiMAN for all games, you have to configure each game options with it.
- Make sure to use BD-ROM emulator (Standard) on multiMAN settings.

I started working on a guide but since I have university and many works to do, I decided to give a few useful tips in case I can’t finish the guide.

I hope this help some to upgrade safely to Rogero CFW 4.30 without any issues.

SeeYa!

• Assassins.Creed.III.PS3-DUPLEX

Three awesome releases and here is a quote from the source, i highly recommend downloading this CFW only at the source and no other site:

Rogero has released an update to his CEX 4.21 Cfw. Roger Cex 4.30 v1 now also comes bundled with multiMAN ver 04.08.01 and Showtime 04.01.208 turning this release into a 1 stop shop. Rogero as always thanks for all the hard work, it is very much appreciated!

This is a 4.30 Triple Pack that contains : Rogero CEX-4.30 v1.00 + multiMAN ver 04.08.01 + Showtime 04.01.208
( Please follow the instructions inside the download package in order to patch the CFW correctly and fix the PS button No-Icons issue )

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.

* For details about Updating from CFW3.55/4.21 to CFW4.30 Please read the Update Guide below

* For details about Downgrading back to CFW/OFW3.55 Please read the Downgrade Guide below

* For details about Recovering from a Brick please check this thread

—-> Brick-Recovery Procedure from CFW4.21 back to CFW3.55

Rogero CEX-4.30 v1.00 Details
- Compatibility problem with some PS3 models is now fully fixed.
- XMB Icons problem from in-game PS button is now fixed. (Using the Patch included in the package: “PS3~dev_blind.zip”)
- PSN/SEN access is available as long as the current “passphrase” still the same.
- Loading games from App_home Icon is now fixed.
- It was tested by hundreds of testers on all PS3 models (FAT & Slim) and no problems were encountered.
- 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.

ATTENTION:

1- This CFW doesn’t have LV1 checks disabled and can’t be installed on Downgraded PS3 consoles unless you have Dehashed/Reset Syscon Properly (if you’re not sure about your PS3, Dehash it anyway to avoid any risk) Link —->Dehashing Tutorial

2- Always make a NOR/Nand dump using multiMAN or memdump 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 way to recover (using hardware flashers) when you have a valid dump.
** A Hardware Flasher alone without a valid dump may not fix your bricked PS3 **

3- The QA flag must be always Enabled on your PS3 for safer upgrading/downgrading operations. Link —->toggle_qa.pkg

4- Always use the Recovery Menu while installing this CFW to avoid possible bricks (XMB update works, but Recovery Menu is safer).

6- Please Check the MD5 of the downloaded PUP file before installing any CFW to avoid possible bricks.

7- DO NOT HAVE DISC IN PS3 WHEN UPDATING FIRMWARES..As the PS3 will take the UPDATE from the DISC First.

8- You need to already be on 3.55 to install this. Installing from any firmware other than 3.55 will simply not work

The only thing i can say about this FW is to be cautious, now whilst i have loads of faith in Rogero, i do not have any in Sony, both 4.25 and 4.30 OFW’s were riddled with problems, so just be that little bit extra careful.

UPDATE

cotojestwtf has updated his app Yet Another Bypass to 1.8. For those who don’t know, this is another method to access the PSN on CFW.

This is 8sma version of my program for access to the PSN having lower FW.

Today YAB 1.8 lets you connect to PSN with FW 4.25, 4.21 and I did not testable. However, I put a tenner it works. The solution is temporary, Sony at any time it can block. I’ve had this apki not continue, but if there is progress on the stage (lv0 pwned) I decided to give this a little bit from each other.

CFW users please no cheating in online games, the program does not have to spoil the epic Online.

How to connect.
Just like PE * ck PSN computer is required.

First Run the downloaded package YABStart.bat (so quickly shut the window)
Second Go to the PS3 network settings in the Proxy tab, type the IP address of your computer, and port 27 (can be changed in the file / config / port.txt
3rd Connect to the PSN.

Team E3 has contacted us today releasing CFW 4.30. Yes you still need to be on 3.55 before you can upgrade to this.

To quote:

The E3TEAM has released the latest E3 CFW4.30 for free. The bricking issue has been improved. Just download here and enjoy.

(Pass is www.e3-tech.net)

Here we mention to E3 flasher users that you do not need to solder a wire to use the latest upgrade.bin file to unbrick a console.

don’t remove password if forward the file

Thanks to @MARA87 posted this leak. Is from EOL (el otro lado) hence i understand spanish seems legit no risk of bricking if you are in DEX already. hellsing9

Seems like ofw 4.25 dex has leaked:

===========================================

Note:

Euss confirmed there’s NO risk of BRICK on DEX converted ps3′s.

Love this..;) Funny tough that even forbes published about this but they don’t have a CLUE about what’s really happening. If someone the *media* is doing a bad job = Raise your hand.

The appearance of a Sony PlayStation 3 firmware hack will only affect hardware modders, according to a gaming security expert.

Chinese hacker group BlueDisk-CFW has published a tool that circumvents the console’s firmware. This was followed by the release of “LV0 decryption key.” The decryption keys allow PS3 firmware packages to be unscrambled on a PC, then re-encrypted with existing firmware 3.55 keys so that they can be run on hacked consoles, as previously reported.

BlueDisk-CFW originally intended to charge for their tool but the release of the decryption key by a separate group called the The Three Musketeers spoiled that plan.

Anyone with a bit of technical skill can get around the restrictions themselves.

Chris Boyd (AKA PaperGhost), senior threat researcher at GFI Software, and an expert in gaming security, said both incidents make little different to regular gamers.

“The only real benefit to this is for those already running custom firmware on hacked machines, who are now able to update their PS3 and go online. While they may be able to play games online until Sony change the PSN passphrase, it’s unlikely to cause a wave of in-game cheating and modding.”

Boyd added that the firmware hack has no bearing on the security of the Playstation Network itself.

“The Playstation Network itself is still secure and users shouldn’t panic. I’ve already seen one person say they cancelled their credit card as a result of thinking the PSN had been compromised (it hasn’t). With the PS4 on the horizon, this may prompt SONY to speed up work on the upcoming console.”
