User 'Sandbug' from this forum had a guide for the procedure: http://psx-scene.com/forums/f118/rogero-cfw-how-107499/
At the time it's written it's for upgrading to CFW 4.21, but the procedure applies to CFW 4.30, too.

Unless you know how to make your own patch for games, you'll find that some of the newer games don't have patches available for CFW 3.55, such as Black Knight Sword.

BTW, does anyone here know how to patch new PSN games for CFW 3.55?

 

A very helpful post! Thanks.
Thoughts:
- going back to 3.55 OFW will remove everything I have installed correct? Or would it be intact but just not playable or even accessible?
- no need for rehashing if my console never went past 3.55. Right?
- thanks for the info about patched games needing to be clean again. Luckily, only FFXIII-2 is patched.
- latest multiman (and creating a NAND dump), check

So, install QA flag, then CFW 4.30 PUP, and that's it? Anything else I might have overlooked? Anything else preferable to have after or before installation?

Thanks!

 

Ana Bkhair, and I hope you are as well
hmmm I don't think that has anything to do with upgrading. It seems to be a HDMI cable issue, or maybe even hardware issue or compatibility with the TV?
I could be wrong though..

Edit: Does anyone a link to the toggle QA.PKG? For some reason I'm not able to find it

 

Hey Cyan,

Thanks for your reply. I just finished updating my PS3, and all went well
- Rehashing is not needed for me. I never downgraded my system. Where you on a version higher than 3.41? In that case, I would suggest rehashing it just in case
- Thanks for the info about multiman, I didn't know that 4.30 removed install a package. Good thing I updated it before I upgraded the firmware
- Yes, I was able to install QA toggle and run it successfully in Kmeaw. I didn't install rebug at any point in my life
- I've read several places that you do not need to install from recovery, and that it is only as a last resort (like you mentioned). I went ahead and installed mine from the XMB, all went fine

Now, I have what should hopefully be the last question:
Is there anything I should notice off while I'm online? I've heard people mention FuckPSN, and I heard people mentioning a ban, and I also heard that I should use the stealth version of multiman?
Can you explain to me what's with that? Because I'm able to go online just fine without FuckPSN or anything. I didn't play online. I just synced my trophies, and checked out the store.
Is there something I should do to prevent any problems regarding online?

Thanks

 

Thanks Cyan, You should try updating yours as well. I've seen that you have been hesitant

Thanks for the information, I'll look into it. Meanwhile, I hope someone else can shed some light on this

 

You don't actually need to do anything special to go online/sync trophies/buy things from the PSN store. There's always that risk of getting banned, but from what I've seen, the only morons getting banned on 4.30 Rogero are silly kids playing CoD and hosting hacked lobbies. (Apparently Treyarch has a way to detect CFW or something.)

mM Stealth is for the extra paranoid. Having that means you won't have a icon present in the XMB, thus giving the impression that you're not on CFW. By having it like this, it sends off to Sony and stuff that you're playing ______ game when you go into it when you're obviously not. As a FYI, mM stealth actually has compatibilty issues with some games that aren't present in regular mM. It's all up to your personal preference what you want to use at the end of the day, really.

 

fuckPSN was made so one can spoof their firmware to go online. Aimed at those that are on 3.41/3.55/4.21 CFWs.

Rogero's 3.55 CFW had similar spoofing natively, but ever since the LV0 keys were found he was able to make a proper 4.30 CFW. In 4.30 v2.03 he spoofs it to 4.31, but the passphrase for PSN remained the same in OFW so nothing really changed, and thus anyone on his 4.30 CFW can go online normally. At least until Sony changes the passphrase again.

 

OK guys, I hope I can get some help and info on a problem I'm having. I was on rogero 4.30 since that version came out. Well, something went wrong. system needed to rebuild and format before anything else. I'm thinking hard drive failure but it wasn't the case. so I go ahead cus I have no choice, and system reverts back to 4.21! not sure if its ofw cus I can still install pkg files but I just get black screens with every install.
so I assume ill just go back from scratch and downgrade to 3.55, toggle, upgrade to 4.30v2. Every time I do this however, it(the update) is corrupted. I'm at a stand still here. Ive searched for other similar files to make sure they're not corrupted but ps3 says it every time. I don't understand why it would be ofw 4.21 if it really is at all.
