This is a better optimized version of the previous MFW released, This one is a Custom firmware
built manually by patching and packing the files and the final PUP package using the well known
"failoverflow" public set of tools and having "Kmeaw" as the base firmware unlike it's previous
version which was a Modified firmware built using the famous MFW builder application and using
an OFW3.55 as the base firmware.

Usage / Compatibility:
- Can be used for Downgrade directly as a replacement of the no_check.PUP to avoid the "Trophies error".
- Can be used for normal system update like any other CFW/MFW from XMB or from Recovery Menu.

Internal Structure:
- Kmeaw patched Lv2 with necessary patches to allow Peek/Poke support (same games compatibility as Kmeaw CFW)
- Dospiedra's LV1 patches necessary to bypass the Syscon checks for downgraded consoles. (same as no_check.PUP)
- Built-in system version spoof to 3.70 to prevent accidental system updates (won't allow going online in any way)
- Privacy Patch was not applied like previous version to allow Game updates (can be added easily using MFW builder)
- Custom Boot Logo.
- built-in "Heavy Rain" dynamic theme.

History:
After several days and more testing of the first MFW released for downgrading from 3.70-->3.55
I had some users feedback from #progskeet-support that some PS3 machines are having either
the Registry Corrupted/Blue Screen or just a Black Screen after downgrade that required re-installing
the MFW from Recovery Menu or reflashing the NOR in some cases.

Further research about the donwgrade V2 patches and the no_check.PUP with some more testing
showed that a Kmeaw based LV2 seems to have better compatibility with the Downgrade patches
applied to the NOR image then a MFW built with a patched LV2, so I decided to build a new version
manually which is a custom firmware that combines Kmeaw LV2 patches with Dospiedras Lv1 no-check
patches and having the minimal/necessary set of patches to preserve the best overall stability.

Thanks to the all the beta testers especially Blakcat & Marlboro1

N.B: please note that Rogero Manager v8.5 (to be released soon) or newer are only compatible with this CFW V2
because the CFW have the built in version spoofed to 3.70 and older versions of the Manager (8.4 and lower)
can't recognize it and won't be able to load the necessary payload.

Cheers

So, can I downgrade my PS3 from 3.70 with this?

Yes but not directly. You will still need to follow this tutorial. It still requires soldering. This CFW is a replacement of the no_check 3.55 PUP and it fixes stability because the previous one had trophy errors.

I really like the Rogero Bckup manager since it plays all my split game's file directly from ext hdd without additional steps to split the 4gb's file and above manually such as on the KZ3 and Uncharted2. Also, according to his/your information,
1. This is NOT a backup manager but a CFW like Kmeaw, Wutng,Ghot..etc that is included the latest rogero backup manager on it.
2. Can i simply plug in the csw V2 directly to my system to "update"/ change my cfw right now (cfwps3ita;3.55 kmeaw base) without pacthing the ..pup file (another word, this the patched ..pup file)
3. Right now, mine is Rogero 8.4, but this 8.4 will not be able to be upgraded at Rogero 8.5(or newer) in the near future WITHOUT having the Rogero CFW V2 on the system.
Please correct/ confirm me if I am wrong.

Rogero Manager v8.4 or lower won't work on this CFW V2 because of the built in 3.70 spoof, it needs the new upcoming v8.5 which can handle the 3.70 spoof correctly and load the payload.

So please wait just a little while till I have the time to add some fixes to the manager and release it then you can Update to CFW V2 + Rogero manager 8.5

Cheers
