    3: Add [left] mode, forced to delete the current user’s trophy file to solve the problem of the part of the game after the break trophy can not be registered.
    4: rewrite [X] PS2 ISO import mode, with PSN installation perfect container is no longer needed, and install three times faster.

    How to use:

    PSN crack method, as an example, using the following four typical PSN Games tested in 4.41CFW
    **1. Installation 1942 (1eboot), flower (1eboot, +14 SPRX +1 edat), ht2e (1eboot of +1 edat), Tetris (C00).
    **Containing any of the first three games authorized U disk into thin machine a USB interface, rap file the U disk exdata directory,
    ******New User aa or [L1] mode import authorization, do not import authorization can also be part of the game but will increase the difficulty of crack.
    **3 run reActPSN, hold down the triangle button + L1] about six seconds, the progress bar will be displayed to crack all game EBOOT.BIN.
    ******After the completion of the XMB there a rPKG_NPJB00201.pkg, is necessary to install it in a low version of the CFW
    ******Unfortunately, the test ht2e not run in 3.55, then it deleted.
    **Run flower, after entering the game screen exit run ht2e, prompt exit trophy registration failed.
    **The 5 run reActPSN, hold down the triangle button + L1] about six seconds after the completion of crack two games, crack 14self 2edat.
    **6 this time all three of crack, but can only run the first two games, ht2e prompt trophy registration failed, the fourth game still is a demo.
    **The 7. Run reActPSN, hold down [left arrow] about six seconds, the system automatically restart. Or failure running ht2e, then run ht2e success.
    **Run reActPSN, hold down the [O] about six seconds, run Tetris, full version, all four games crack is completed.

    The PS2 ISO Importing function
    System requirements:

    ——————–
    PS2 ISO import function to explain
    1: PS2 games still need authorization
    Your machine must with reActPSN import other authority, and can play X conversion will automatically generate a PS2 authorization to the inside of your machine.
    2: other conversion methods can not play the game, the same can not play.

    You know what people say about being too much time being silent (and idle).
    Who knows maybe you start to hear better hence you are in complete silence or just ignoring your surroundings. This “phenomena” could happen for 3 reasons:

    1) You have something detrimental to say but you choose to keep it.
    2) You are watching things evolve and fall apart from a safe distance.
    3) You are about to explode in anger.

    Maybe those 3 reasons were enough to stay silent, away and watching.

    I’m not surprised about what i saw.
    I saw setbacks, advances, random fights about being ethical or some tantrum about having morals or not having them at all.

    So i will state some points that caught my attention and for a while not talk about them them maybe for being “taboo” or knowing that should ignite some ice-cold jab to the ones who don’t read/listen enough.

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

    Where is COBRA ODE and what happened to 3K3Y?:


    Latest news from those venomous snakes (weird fixation on them if you ask me) was on = 4 – 04 – 2013.
    Showing that awful PCB and some W.I.P.

    Hence 3K3Y done their move and i have to give them some Kudos for releasing their product and having 3 reviews. Most important one is from Brakk3n.


    They never removed this from their website but they remove them from features:

    *We are working on hardware methods for extracting keys from PS3′s already on 4.x firmware.*

    Both of them keep claiming that they are working on hardware methods for those lost in limbo that have as 4.x OFW and they can’t do pretty much anything with their retail consoles, only play on PSN with retails.

    But seems or it’s only me that it’s thinking a little out of the box about Cobra that they went too far with their own statements:

    2k,2k5k,3k and 4k series slim and super slim consoles. Cobra ODE is the first truly universal PS3 ODE bringing maximum convenience to end users and resellers alike.

    Really?…the only one who got balls to release some product and avoid getting butchered for not delivering some solution to 3K/4K users were 3K3Y.
    Don’t get me wrong here im just using each *company* statements to try to figure out who is trying so hard not to lie to end users and lure brainwashed or just *i don’t want to read and just buy* future costumers to their own ranks.

    Oh almost forget that one…yeah that one! E3 PS3 glitcher and E3 Drive EMU Board which for the first time they don’t promised “free gifts” for the ones lucky enough to pre-order “it”. (Insert random adjective here).

    "Free gifts"

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

    It’s just another web of lies?:

    They are expecting to PS4 and Xbox 720 release (nothing new here) and the BAM you will probably get all those free solutions that got “encapsulated” all this years just to make more money.

    Im not saying that someone hide the “key” and just play dumb all this time.
    Just stating something that probably and most of us have a “hunch” that eventually will happen.

    No need to get more attention on PS3 anymore and “they” (connect dots if you don’t want to i don’t blame ya’) eventually will give some green light to make pretty much the f@$ we want with our systems.

    Hey! but watch it! don’t be so naïve and expect some softmod solution.
    Or you don’t remember PS2 with chip Matrix how many years have passed until someone can run stable backups, etc.

    Random leaks will start to appear on god forsaken places with weird usernames and pirates as brew lovers finally (and probably) will get along at last.

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

    Last thing:

    Many HAX users, i mean people who help other people on the board.
    I think they are TIRED of replying the same question all the time.

    3K and 4K series of PS3:

    1) NO DOWNGRADE POSSIBLE. (until someone decides to risk his/her neck).
    2) NO JAILBREAK.
    3) NO BACKUPS.
    4) NO HOMEBREW.

    Regards.

    Yours truly. (lol)

    The latest version of ReActPSN is out; this latest brings the 4.0 EDAT fix. Full changelog below:

    1: Triangle crack mode support to CFW4.40.
    [The triangle key] ordinary crack mode, do not modify the version number of the first crack full EBOOT.BIN running game, the second to break the rest of the game sprx edat.
    The triangle key + L1] downgrade to 3.41 crack, the EBOOT key lib ver downgrade, edat4.0 downgrade.
    SFO is rather special, recognize only the installation of the version number the low version CFW crack high version of the game, first install the the a downgrade PARAM.SFO the pkg EBOOT to run after the break.
    [Triangle key + L2] downgrade to 4.20.
    Crack the game this way, starting from the earliest version 2.20, has been running on 4.20 CFW, do not need to re-signature.

    2: [key], automatic vsh patch function supports import authorization, support to CFW4.40.
    Support of 3.41 and 3.55 CFW and OFW, support CFW 3.60 more.

    3: [Right] eight seconds CEXDEX conversion, support to CFW4.30.
    Only 3.55CEX before mandatory set QA, the rest of CFW detection QA, QA will not convert.
    I do not know R4.40v1.03 the sony reasons, or roger reasons, the converted must become brick, the software does not support the 4.40 conversion.

    4:That annoying boot repair.
    The PS2 conversion speeds of up to 12M / s, the present situation is the most convenient and simple conversion method.
    The import authorization also added a progress bar.

    The Italians are back, team ITA have updated their 4.21 DEX CFW to version 2.2. Also, they have released an interesting new ‘loader’.

    Changelog:

    -Spoof firmware 4.40.
    -IDPS All Change region 4.21 is now integrated in the fw and runs automatically during boot the console, there is no need to start it manually after every boot. To log on to the PSN simply log in as you were on an ordinary OFW.
    -Sys_init_osd.self New, allows the start of our core (ps3itald.self) during boot the console. IMPORTANT: all credits for this go to sys_init_osd Miralatijera we just added a little bit (to make it boot faster) and brought patches to the nost cfw, ps3itald.self instead is a creation of our team. The core ps3itald.self is easily customizable thanks to PKG ps3ita loader.
    -Fixed bug that did not allow the boot cd / dvd original PS2 PS3 backwards compatible.
    -Vsh Patch magazines, ReactPsn now works perfectly.
    0x80022D74 0x80022D11 Fix for errors relating to the trophies, in some cases after a downgrade by service mode was returned one of these errors and was forced to leave the game.

    PS3ITA Loader:

    Through the program ps3ita loader you can manage the core ps3itald.self and add / remove functions that will be performed automatically upon boot of the console (I think many of you will appreciate the “install_new_idps” allows you to permanently change your console id with one of your choice).

    Install Instructions For the CFW

    1. sure you have a console with CFW / OFW DEX (Debug) version 3.55/4.21.
    2. strictly Install the Firmware Downgrader 3:55
    3. PS3ITA Install CFW 4.21 DEX v2.2.

    Install Instructions For PS3ITA Loader:

    1. ps3ita Copy the folder in the root of the USB stick.
    2. Move the flag you want to install from the folder / ps3ita/NOT_ACTIVE in / ps3ita (flags are simple text files and have explained in their function).
    3. Insert the USB stick into the port on the right of the PS3.
    4. install the pkg “ps3ita_loader” and run it.
    If something goes wrong, the LED turns red, otherwise fine.
    A log file in / dev_usb000/ps3ita cmq will be created to verify if all the steps have taken place correctly.
    5. New features are now active

    If you have updated your CFW PS3 to a 4.xx CFW you will notice that Sony have added a stupid annoying warning screen, telling you how you could suffer from an epilepsy attack if you use your console for prolonged amounts of time, now anyone with a brain already knows this and this screen is pointless.
    Now thanks to Mistawes you can change the text in that screen to something of your choosing, here is how:

     photo 11t0kgg_zps7994ae71.jpg

    So it really bugs me to see this every time I boot up or reboot, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

    So, to edit it yourself, do the following:

    Download RCOmage and extract somewhere suitable on your PC.

    Now, while running your PS3, go into Multiman and enable dev_blind (4th last item in settings).

    Go to file manager or FTP into dev_blind/vsh/resource and copy sysconf_plugin.rco to USB/PC.

    Open the .rco in RCOmage where it says “RCO input” by selecting browse..

    Set the output name to whatever you want, save as .xml and untick every box, other than “Seperate resource types” and “Decode VSMX scripts”.

    Now hit dump, and wait for it to finish. Then go to the folder you extracted to, into the “Text” folder and open “English.xml” – Or whatever language you use..
    NOTE: I use Notepad++ : LINK and make sure encoding says UTF-8, but MS Notepad might work, but turn off “word wrap”.

    Search for “health” and edit the two lines containing the warning you see at boot, to whatever you want, or leave it blank!

    Now, you are free to edit other things here, but be VERY careful as it’s so easy to softbrick! Then save the .xml file.

    Now, back to RCOmage, click the “compile” tab and select the “output xml” file from the beginning and select where to output your modded RCO file (make sure to name it correctly – sysconf_plugin.rco). Then tick the “zlib” button beside “Header Compression”, nothing else should be selected then hit “Compile”.

    Then, copy that back to dev_blind/vsh/resource and overwrite the original. Then restart your PS3 and check to see your new message!

    If it freezes or won’t load, go into recovery and re-install the exact same CFW. Otherwise (if it errors when re-installing) install Rebug 999 downgrader and dehash, then back upto 4.XX.

    I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS, GOOD/BAD/INDIFFERENT.

    Thanks to –==IcEmAn==– for the method, thanks to Haxxxen for the tip and ZiNgA BuRgA for RCOmage

    @Rogero , famous for his work on Rogero Manager and Rogero CFW, has Updated PS3 Nor and Nand Auto Patcher to v0.04
    The application patches valid PlayStation 3 NOR & Nand dumps with proper downgrade files necessary for downgrading/unbricking PlayStation consoles.

    ChangeLog

    initial release v 0.01
    ————————

    • Compatible with both E3 and ProgSkeet Nor dumps.
    • Checking your PS3 Nor Dump if it is Byte-Reversed or No.
    • Applying the correct downgrade patches depending on the Dump type detected.
    • Eliminating the need to byte-swap the dump in order to apply the patches.
    • Making the patching easier rather then using several programs to do it.

    v 0.04
    ——-

    • Added new Rogero CFW4.40 v1.02 patches.
    • Works for any PS3 model with downgradable metldr revision (not metldr2) including PS3 with Minver 3.56
    • No more FSM is needed for downgrading.
    • Added detection of non-downgradable “metldr” revisions.
    • Added support for Interleaved NAND Dumps (now will patch both Nor and Nand dumps)

    How to use:

    Drag and Drop any Nor or Interleaved NAND Dump onto the executable,
    it will detect the dump type and patch it accordingly with CFW4.40 patches.

    Warning:

    This program does not check for the dump validity,
    you must provide a good dump previously checked and verified.

    It will patch the dump image even if it’s not a 100% valid dump,
    the program only does some minimal checks before patching
    assuming that the user have provided a valid dump.

    The E3 Team who brought you various other PS3 related products have announced their latest one, the E3 Station. The E3 station basically is a solder-on-PS3(multi-console compatible!) tool that allows you to run PS1/PS2/PS3 backup from HDD (on both 3k/4k consoles), and bring homebrew based on the E3 station to the PS3.

    The SDK for E3Station will be made available for free for developers to use. Interested devs can grab their free copy via email below.

    To quote:

    E3TEAM, the world renowned PS3 team, the maker of E3 FLASHER, E3 CARD READER and E3 CFW 4.30 etc,will release a Revolutionary innovation products— E3 Station .

    E3 Station is a multi-console supported platform, which we spent nearly a year developed by E3TEAM . It has huge hardware scalability and various software applications. Its main features are

    1: A high-performance hardware architecture
    2: Big HD touch screen allow players to use the software easily .
    3: Support for an expansion hardware board. With the custom expansive board, the user can play backup game easily.
    4: Multi-console compatable, such as PS3/XBOX360/WIIU, and also future PS4/XBOX720.
    5: Built-in Bluetooth, WIFI and HDMI interface, support HD Internet TV and a variety of high-definition 1080P multimedia(include BD ISO).
    6: Perfect quality and attractive price.

    The E3 STATION will be the best development tools for developers. E3TEAM will open the application SDK, and provide free
    sample for those interested developers . The developer can release their work(software or hardware) which based on
    E3 STATION free or paid. E3TEAM will also reward the good work, we will public the Awards Program later.

    We believe that the support of many developers, E3 STATION users will get the best experience.

    Addition, E3TEAM will release some E3 expansion board which run on E3 Station . User can choose according to their own needs

    1:E3 NAND BOARD KIT

    The NAND board KIT includes the NAND board and the Nand CLIP . These boards work in conjunction with the E3 Station, the NAND-model PS3 Users can easily achieve one
    click downgrades without the need of any hassle or even a PC. Just touch E3 station screen and downgrade is completed.

    2: E3 NOR BOARD KIT

    The NOR board KIT includes the NOR board and the NOR CLIP . These boards also work in conjunction with E3 Station, the NOR-model PS3 Users can easily achieve one
    click downgrades without the need of any hassle or even a PC. Just touch E3 station screen and downgrade is completed.

    About PS3 3K and 4K console, we will release 2 products for them:
    1: E3 DRIVE EMU BOARD
    The DRIVE EMU BOARD works with the E3 station, users can run PS1/PS2/PS3 backup game from harddisk, this works on ALL PS3 models including 3K and 4K.

    2: PS3 Glitcher
    This is an independent small size chip with cheaper cost. It does not need additional hardware like the E3 Station . We have succeeded in glitching the PS3 3K and 4K a few months ago,all we need is some time to improve boot rate.

    More special function expansion boards will be announced later (for XBOX360 and WIIU etc), while welcoming the developer to obtain the SDK and E3 STATION sample, to become the member of E3 developer .

    here is our new email address for applying to become E3 developer : e3.develop@gmail.com

    This is proper translation made by me to understand what’s CFW 4.31 by MiralaTijera features:

    Hi, i present myself on this community showing what i been working in the darkness.

    You may ask what this is all about?.
    Well it’s about my CFW 4.31 FULL 4.31, nothing about spoof’s. It’s ported to 4.31. And..

    I give you along with the Os also my (personal) multiTOOL called “core” it’s only a self that loads at console startup.
    If it’s available on right USb port of our PS3 “/dev_usb000/” that among other things this will allow to dump console flash.
    Also activates QA flags (on 4.31 = directly) and exits and start on factory mode.

    Here some specs:

    lv1 CoreOS hash deactivated for downgraded consoles.
    lv1 183/182 undocumented ( lv1 peek / poke )
    lv1 Otheros ++
    VSH: nas_plugin ( all pkgs can get installed , explore_plugin y game_ext plugin to show the install package and erase that annoying warning message of *epilepsy* (though this is automatic while with QA flag)
    and patches VSH for rif / rap with fakesign.)
    default.spp: added that memory extra on gameOS for otherOs.
    lv2 peek / poke , syscall 6 / 7 ,
    lv2 lv1 peek / poke ( opcional syscall 8 / 9 via core)
    Payload Hermes with ported SC 36
    APPLDR: lv2 memory hash desactived from appldr ( no need to patch on lv1 ) , dev_flash whitelist deactivated ( loads any keyset from dev_flash ) and ECDSA deactivated.
    ISOLDR : ECDSA deactivated
    SPP_VERIFIER: ECDSA deactivated
    spu_utoken_processor : ECDSA deactivated ( qa flag )

    Here you have the payload to include on C for our managers with fixes and hook.

    http://pastie.org/private/cxg8xvohjbh99q45jw ( payload with sc36 )

    http://pastie.org/private/rbmvhgepnwlisvqm1zvchq (lv2 lv1 calls)

    Now let’s talk about = Core.

    It’s AIO (all in one) tool. This CFW at startup search on dev_usb000 if theres a files called cellftp.self and other called copy_script.txt. Also i activated *search function* you can deactivate if you want so just doing this:

    You have to put an original 4.31 sys_init_osd.self inside dev_flash/sys/internal/HERE and that will stop it for search it.

    So i developed a homebrew called core, that allows to end user have more options and tools.

    Remember though that the self has to be on your pendrive root along with copy_script.txt and flags folder with the flags ( functions ) that you want inside.

    When your PS3 starts up will search for it and execute it. It will leave a log on root called core.log.

    I will mention the more important ones and tomorrow i will explain a little more:

    BD emu flag = Is for if you don’t have blu-ray drive or just don’t work npdrm if you activate this flag, the PS3 will behave as if it have the drive installed.

    Enableqa = Activates those QA flag directly on 4.31 ..

    Dump nand

    Dump nor

    Dump lv2

    Dump full ram

    etc..

    changelog 2.6.5:

    Added toggle_recovery flag = Warning PHAT wipe.

    Fixed 6 flags.

    Erased that epilepsy warning.

    Core 2.6.0

    Changelog 2.6.0:

    añadida flag para limpiar restos de flag’s de otheros ( usar en casos de problemas al entrar recovery )

    Added flag to clean otherOS flag’s ( use in case that you have problem to enter into recovery).

    Changelog 2.5.0:

    Added otherOS.

    Fixed dumpnandflash flag, now dumps bootloader also to have a full vital backup of your PS3.

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

    OtherOS boot Tutorial:

    1) Start core only with setup_flash_for_otheros flag, when you hear a double beep means that’s the process went well. If you don’t listened nothing = check log.

    2) Then put dtbImage.ps3.bin (the one who corresponds to your CONSOLE)
    If it’s Nand = dtbImage.ps3.bin.nand
    If it’s NOR = dtbImage.ps3.bin.nor
    You have to rename it to = dtbImage.ps3.bin and paste it on the your pendrive root in this case we will use install_otheros flag.

    3) This will boot up and you will hear 2 beeps, if you don’t listened. Again, check the log. Something failed.

    4) Once we done this, shutdown your PS3 and use boot_otheros flag. On boot you will see petitboot on your screen.

    Thanks hermes, i used your cosunpkg and cospkg to align of CoreOs AND payload with sc36.

    Links about all i mentioned above :

    http://pastie.org/5913506

    Mirror thanks to “palestina” http://ul.to/0mp1pmbl

    BD Emu function is integrated also on one CFW 3.55 that im currently uploading. This comes handy for example if you want to dump your root key.

    Here =
    hilo_cfw-3-55-otheros-cex-bdemu-sin-controladora-integrado_1862166

    To created our own CFW, just open delta patcher. On original file choose 4.31 OFW from here:

    http://dus01.ps3.update.playstation….d/PS3UPDAT.PUP

    On xdelta patch, hit the patch and apply with check checksum option and keep original file tilted. This will create other file called *NEW.PUP being * name of the OFW you use.

    PUP Hashes should be:

    Code:
    CRC32: 203E06EC
    MD5: AD09B0CB3C09CFCCAB578E4E85969830
    SHA-1: 7258E1BB84ED6E8AB0F6325A0199B65F82C7ADEF

    Note:

    THIS IS NOT A CONSOLE BRICKER.
    This method was in the shadows for some time and was tested and all systems that allow this.

    I think on give core src once i polish it. Honestly im ashamed about some much comments on this code xD

    Enjoy it.
    I will keep you guys posted on this thread for next 3 days.

    Now Rogero come and copy this xDDDDDD (Joke)

    Code:
    int main(void)
    {
    int gilipollas;
    int ret;
    int size;
    gilipollas = 1;
    crearmundo();
    ret = crearpersona();
    if (ret==gilipollas)
    {
    strlen(gilipollas,size); // midiendo al tipo de gilipollas
    palizapakeaprenda(size, "entre muchosrn");
    }
    }

    This *code* above have spanish slang, it’s a joke made by the author of this article on code format. I didn’t translated it for obvious reasons because it’s useless. It’s like writting *Hello world* with my spanish slang on it, google translate or any other online translator will give any kind of weird results.

    Nathan_r32_69 brings us a new tool today:

    Hi friends, i’m here again with a new tool to make it easy another task, this time to change PUP’s syscon, for for example, install a lower PUP on higher firmware, like Downgrader PUPs does

    USE IT WITH CAUTION – ONLY FOR CFW FOR NOW

    Its to easy to use, only chose your PUP file, select syscon version and click on “Start”, if all goes fine you will have a new file named “NEW-PS3UPDAT.PUP”

    Hope you will find this tool useful and contact me if you see any issue, meanwhile i’ll back to finish SEN Enabler v5.0 and other research

    * After loading a Game, you can restart the PS3 again to have [* Install Package Files] back on XMB

    — split pkg files
    — sorting
    — queued PKG indication (in red)
    — multipart (split) PKG indication (in yellow)
    — copy/transfer progress

    * Current 3.55 homebrew applications can’t be loaded on this CFW, applications must be re-signed properly for FW4.21/4.30

    ATTENTION:

    1- This CFW does have LV1 checks disabled and can be installed on Downgraded PS3 consoles even if not dehashed after downgrade. Just in case anyone still need to dehash, here’s the link Link —-> Dehashing Tutorial

    2- 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 **

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

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

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

    6- 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)

    - Downgrading back to 3.55 is always possible using the following steps :
    - Download the Downgrader PUP —> Downgrader PUP mirror —> Downgrader PUP
    …Size 176MB (184,595,263 bytes) MD5: 49d80e07fc1f5ca1b0840e02e94635db
    - Rename the downloaded file to “PS3UPDAT.PUP” and put it on your USB in: “USBPS3UPDATEPS3UPDAT.PUP”
    - While on Rogero CFW4.30, go to System Update from XMB and install the Downgrader PUP.
    - After the Downgrader PUP installs you’ll be on a hybrid CFW3.55 that will still shows the spoofed ver4.21 from system settings.
    - In case you didn’t have it Set Before, Enable QA flag by following these steps:

    1- Download the Rebug QA_Toggle package from here —> toggle_qa.pkg
    2- Put the “toggle_qa.pkg” on USB and Install it on the PS3.
    3- Run the “Rebug Toggle QA” from XMB, the screen will go Black and you will see HDD Led activity then if all went fine you will hear 2 or 3 Beeps and the PS3 will Restart back to XMB.
    4- If you want to make sure QA flag was set, go to “Network Settings” then apply the following key combo (all at the same time):

    L1 + L2 + L3 (press left stick) + R1 + R2 + dpad_down

    You should see Edy Viewer, Debug Settings, and Install Package Files if done correctly.

    - Now put “Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7″ on your USB in: “USBPS3UPDATEPS3UPDAT.PUP” —> Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7.PUP
    - Start the PS3 and install “Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7″ using the System Update from XMB.
    - Once you’re back on Rogero CFW3.55 v3.7 you can now install any CFW 3.55/4.21/4.30 using the System Update from XMB
    ( or Recovery Menu if XMB Update didn’t work ).

    * The CFW have both noBD/noBT patches to allow installation on consoles with broken BluRay Drive or Bluetooth board.
    * 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

    ATTENTION:

    1- This CFW does have LV1 checks disabled and can be installed on Downgraded PS3 consoles even if not dehashed after downgrade. Just in case anyone still need to dehash, here’s the link Link —-> Dehashing Tutorial

    2- 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 **

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

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

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

    6- 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)

    - Downgrading back to 3.55 is always possible using the following steps :
    - Download the Downgrader PUP —> Downgrader PUP mirror —> Downgrader PUP
    …Size 176MB (184,595,263 bytes) MD5: 49d80e07fc1f5ca1b0840e02e94635db
    - Rename the downloaded file to “PS3UPDAT.PUP” and put it on your USB in: “USBPS3UPDATEPS3UPDAT.PUP”
    - While on Rogero CFW4.30, go to System Update from XMB and install the Downgrader PUP.
    - After the Downgrader PUP installs you’ll be on a hybrid CFW3.55 that will still shows the spoofed ver4.21 from system settings.
    - In case you didn’t have it Set Before, Enable QA flag by following these steps:

    1- Download the Rebug QA_Toggle package from here —> toggle_qa.pkg
    2- Put the “toggle_qa.pkg” on USB and Install it on the PS3.
    3- Run the “Rebug Toggle QA” from XMB, the screen will go Black and you will see HDD Led activity then if all went fine you will hear 2 or 3 Beeps and the PS3 will Restart back to XMB.
    4- If you want to make sure QA flag was set, go to “Network Settings” then apply the following key combo (all at the same time):

    L1 + L2 + L3 (press left stick) + R1 + R2 + dpad_down

    You should see Edy Viewer, Debug Settings, and Install Package Files if done correctly.

    - Now put “Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7″ on your USB in: “USBPS3UPDATEPS3UPDAT.PUP” —> Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7.PUP
    - Start the PS3 and install “Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7″ using the System Update from XMB.
    - Once you’re back on Rogero CFW3.55 v3.7 you can now install any CFW 3.55/4.21/4.30 using the System Update from XMB
    ( or Recovery Menu if XMB Update didn’t work ).

    PACKAGE MANAGER:

    Package Manager is a replacement for the standard Install Package Files option under Game in the XMB. It allows for the install and deletion of .pkg files from dev_hdd0/packages, dev_usb/packages and the standard Install Package Files locations. In addition to this, your downloaded PSN content ‘bubbles’ will appear under this option instead of cluttering your Game menu with uninstalled content.

    USAGE:

    Navigate to Game in your XMB and click on Package Manager (It will be where Install Package Files usually is). You will find three options.

    PlayStation®Network Content

    Manage your downloaded PlayStation®Network Content.

    Install Package Files
    INSTALL package files from Storage Devices and your PS3.

    PS3 Hard Disk (dev_hdd0/packages)
    Package Folder (dev_usb/packages)
    Standard Package Location (Standard Install Package Files locations)

    NOTE: The Install All Packages is only available by pressing the TRIANGLE button when the Standard Package Location option is highlighted because the PS3 will only install ALL packages from the root of a storage device as of the moment.

    Delete Package Files
    DELETE package files from Storage Devices and your PS3.

    PS3 Hard Disk (dev_hdd0/packages)
    Package Folder (dev_usb/packages)
    Standard Package Location (Standard Install Package Files locations)

    DELETING FILES:
    1: Highlight the file you would like to delete and press TRIANGLE. The sidebar should appear.
    2: Press CROSS on either Unlink or Unlink(Folder) (Both do the same thing for now).

    REBUG TOOLBOX

    Rebug Toolbox is application designed to complete the full function of REBUG REX EDITION firmwares. Besides from performing the CEX/DEX EID0 and LV2 Kernel Swapping it is also an FTP server and is packed with a bunch of other useful tools.

    INSTALL:

    1: In the PS3 XMB go to Game menu
    2: Select Package Manager
    3: Select Install Package Files
    4: Select PS3 Hard Disk
    5: Select REBUG-TOOLBOX-02.xx.xx.pkg

    (port: 21, user: anonymous, password: (anything))

    IMPORTANT INFORMATION

     

    QA SUPPORT

    QA is supported in all REBUG FIRMWARE but at this point in time we are unable to set the QA Token from GameOS on 3.55+ firmware.
    It is good practice to enable QA in 3.55 before updating to any CFW not just REBUG.

    OTHEROS++ SUPPORT

    OtherOS++ is supported by all REBUG REX EDITIONS and will detect your existing OtherOS HDD partition.
    However none of the REBUG REX EDITIONS have emer_init.self patched (create smaller GameOS partition). We are working on a solution to this from GameOS.

    In the meantime if you do want to create an OtherOS partition you have two options:

    1: Use a 3.55 firmware that already has emer_init.self patched to the size you want.
    2: Patch REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION in PS3MFW Builder

    If you choose option 2 we highly recommend that you ONLY patch emer_init.self. Also the resulting PUP will only be able to be installed on 3.55 firmware as the spkg_hdr will be mismatched.

    REBUG 4.21.x AND HIGHER

    INSTALL:
    From XMB install REBUG 4.21.x AND HIGHER over any 3.55 OFW/CFW/MFW or the same or lower firmware version CFW with spkg sig check patched or any firmware version CFW with spkg sig check patched and QA enabled.

    UNINSTALL:

    From XMB REBUG 4.21.x AND HIGHER can be uninstalled with the same or higher firmware version OFW/CFW/MFW or with REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION on a QA enabled PS3 or with the ’999′ DOWNGRADER if QA was NOT enabled.

    REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION

    INSTALL:
    From XMB install REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION over the same or lower firmware version OFW/CFW/MFW or any firmware version CFW/MFW with spkg sig check patched and QA enabled.

    UNINSTALL:
    From XMB REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION can be uninstalled with the same or higher firmware version OFW/CFW/MFW.

    REBUG ’999′ DOWNGRADER

    THIS WILL SET YOUR SYSCON COREOS VERSION TO 9.99 ON PURPOSE: DO NOT PANIC
    REQUIRES SYSCON DEHASHING AFTER DOWNGRADE

    INSTALL:
    From XMB install ’999′ DOWNGRADER over any firmware version CFW/MFW with spkg sig check patched on a PS3 with or without QA enabled.

    UNINSTALL/DEHASH: REQUIRES PS3 TO BE QA ENABLED:
    From XMB ’999′ DOWNGRADER can be uninstalled/dehashed with the REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION or from Recovery Mode with any other 3.55 OFW/CFW/MFW.
