P.S. Have not had a need to go to 3.55 CFW thats why Im still here. So please dont start the ignorant belittling of people that are smart enough to wait for what they need instead of building houses out of PS3 Bricks. Thanks. And Thanks to CaptainCPS-X’s for all you have done and hopefully will continue to do for the scene.

I honestly don't know if you could use the Toggle QA PKG on CFW 3.41, since I haven't been on that version for a long time, but it should not be a problem if you do this:

1- Download and install "Toggle QA" PKG.
2- On the XMB Game column, run the installed "Toggle QA", the PS3 will black screen, then beep 2 / 3 times and send you back to XMB.
4- Make sure the QA key combo over Network Settings is working fine, and the hidden menu items are revealed.
5- Reboot on Recovery Mode and install Rogero CFW 3.55 (v3.7).
6- After booting into Rogero CFW 3.55 (v3.7), check that the QA key combo is still working over Network Settings (do not run the installation of "Toggle QA" again, since it should be still applied even after CFW upgrade).

Then after that you can follow my Installation tips carefully and you should be able to upgrade to Rogero CFW 4.30 (v1.0 / Patched) without problems .

Remember to check all tips before doing anything, and make sure all CFW PUPs have the correct MD5 hash.

EDIT: Just in case here you can access the previous tips quickly:

Toggle QA working with 3.55 kmeaw ? i m try to (L1 + L2 + L3 (press left stick) + R1 + R2 + dpad_down ) but nothing happen ?

I'm on kmeaw CFW 3.55 and I kmow absolutely nothing about TA Toggle, checking it over the Network, etc. If I format my PS3, will it jump back to OFW 3.55? or can I download the official 3.55 firmware and then install it so that I can install rogero CFW 4.30?

If you just upgrade to some firmware all of your files (games, etc.) stay on HDD. If you're planning on formatting your drive prior update then then you should back up your (games, etc.) to external storage.

Is there a way to go from a phat 60GB with KMEAW's 3.55? (one that wouldn't require a restore)
