Mine wasn't downgraded and yes it's 3.55 KMEAW.

If I'm understanding this right... I have to install Rogero CFW 3.55 before Rogero CFW 4.30?

If I'm understanding this right... I have to install Rogero CFW 3.55 before Rogero CFW 4.30?

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).

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

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

7- You need to already be on 3.55 to install this. Installing from any firmware other than 3.55 will simply not work. (In regards to consoles on OFW)

You can find everything that you'll need to update below.

1. Extract the files from the Rogero 4.30 cfw .rar we just downloaded (we should have 4 files and one folder named “PS3″)
2. Copy the Folder (“PS3″) to the root of your USB flash drive or External HD
3. Insert your USB or External HD into your PS3 (I don’t know why but people say you should insert it to the slot nearest to the Disc Drive, I inserted mine on a different slot and it still worked perfectly)
4. While your PS3 is on, turn it off by pressing and holding the power button until it turns off
5. When the PS3 is OFF, press and hold the power button until you hear two beeps
6. When this happens, the PS3 should boot up in recovery Mode (if it does not, repeat steps 4 and 5)
7. While on recovery mode, select option 6 (System Update)
8. Just follow any on screen instructions that would come up.
9. And you’re done

This is the step by step guide I'm looking at. How do I make a NAND back up using Multiman before I proceed?

LATE PASS:snoop: I'm not at all familiar with modding PS3s, but if I go cop a new one at best buy, will it be jailbreakable? If so, where can I get noob instructions on this?

To dump NAND/NOR: mmOS->Select any file->Open in HEX viewer->[SELECT]->[START]->DUMP LV2(NO)->DUMP LV1(NO)->DUMP FLASH(YES)

and connect your flash drive to rightmost port so that it reads dev_usb000 in multiman

LATE PASS:snoop: I'm not at all familiar with modding PS3s, but if I go cop a new one at best buy, will it be jailbreakable? If so, where can I get noob instructions on this?

you should make sure that your ps3 is on 3.55 software, if its on any newer one it could require hardware flasher to downgrade or it couldnt be downgradable at all :to:

and I gave a link to instructions on third page in this thread

Aight so to be clear for the folks who like me are on 3.55 KMEAW:
Make a backup via multi-man.

1. Install 3.55 OFW from the Recovery Menu (where is the link for OFW 3.55?)

2. Now that I’m on 3.55 OFW I can install 4.30 Rogero CFW from the Recovery Menu.

I went too early and bricked my Fat PS3 last friday.:snoop: My model was like the only model still having issues.

I looked at the directions to recover my shyt like:dwillhuh::why:

I'mma try to pay somebody to do this shyt for me. The directions look a bit over my capabilities and I don't really feel like digging that deep.

:sadcam: Sorry bruh.
This is why I'll only proceed when I'm certain on what I'm doing and it's been tried and tested.

I usually just wait until shyt is 100% fool proof. I went to the board and saw that pretty much everbody was having success. So I said fukk it:manny:

I wake up the next morning after bricking my shyt to a warning on Rogero's site telling all Fat PS3's to stop installing his CFW:aicmon: Now you tell me?

Every guide I'm reading is contardicting, this one I'm reading now is saying to install Rogero CFW 3.55 [v3.7] and than go ahead.
I can't find a single guide that is clear cut on how to proceed if you're on 3.55 KMEAW.

I went straight from kmeaw to rogero without any problems :manny:

General idea is to go from any 3.55 (ofw, kmeaw, rogero it doesnt really matter) to 4.30 rogero. But to be on the safe side I wouldnt be using ofw because you cant install qflag on it.

Brehs I updated to Rojero 4.30 straight from KMEAW 3.55 on the slim via recovery menu after I did toggle QA.

I couldn't make a NAND backup is that important?

The games that were on 3.55 KMEAW will they still work if not how do I delete them of the HD?

Also is PSN working?

Im at the table yall. PSN works. Didnt and backup shyt. Game that didnt work before (shadow of the damned, now working) :lawd:


Troubleshooting.

Keep a ps3 cd in the drive to play some games that arent working. If one doesnt work, try another. Something epic like UMVC3, Gran Turismo

Delete game utility data for games that arent working and try to play them again.


I knew this day would come.

Next step. Putting my ps3 games on my external drive.
