PS3Ultimate CFW Coldboot.raf (Updated Bugfix)
When using the spoof, your PS3 will display the following prompt: "The latest version of the system software is already installed. There is no need to update."
To quote: This does not mean that you can use this to sign into to PSN. All that this basically does is allow you to not have to worry about your console being accidentally updated. NO PSN! I've now got a 3.70 spoof tcl that is 3.70 51968 001:CEX-ww
RazorX also releases two other tasks he created for use with PS3MFW Builder, Change XML Files, and Change RCO Files.
Currently, there are three different versions: 3.66 Spoofed, 3.70 Spoofed, and 3.55 Unspoofed. NOTE: With the versions that come SPOOFED, the only way to revert back to another FW is though Recovery Menu.
This is a 3.55 CFW Ive just finished creating with PS3MFW Builder. It is setup in a way I think everyone will like, here is some of the options I set:
- Patched Lv1 Hypervisor
- Patched Lv2 Kernel
- Patched Package Installer
- Patched all self/sprx to secure privacy
- Patched application launcher
- Added homebrew category
- Added Start Game (Disc-less) to game category (/app_home/PS3_GAME/)
- Cleaned unwanted items from XMB
- Patched translations
- Replaced coldboot
- Replaced some RCO files
- Replaced some XML files
- Changed cinavia DRM affected files
- Changed default theme
- Spoofed to 3.70 (3.70 51968 001:CEX-ww)
After you install this CFW, go straight into theme settings and apply the default theme. I would also like to say I'd be very happy to receive any help. That is going to really improve this CFW further. I have been trying to change the icons on the ingame XMB and the main XMB, to set it up were I don't need the theme.
But, I have had little success so far, so any help would be appreciated. I have put the "Start Game (Disc-less)" in games, and the "Install Packages" in debug. In the future I'd very much like to also have the debug settings in there, so if anyone can do this let me know..
To do this firmware I had to create my own tcl files, so I have included them too. Ive also included some altered pkg files for you to try, and by altered I mean the categories changed, and images slightly altered. So enjoy...
Updates: This cfw has been updated with a 3.70 spoof and i have just installed it and it does now say version 3.70 so if you have installed the previous cfw with the 3.66 spoof just install this straight over the top of it from the recovery menu..
For all you who want unspoofed versions here you go i've also added a spoof_version.tcl for 3.70.
I've just created a larger theme for my cfw it now has 16 different backgrounds in HD and SD i hope you all like it
And for all of you who want something different and know what to do with rco files i've just created a black theme which i think is fantastic i created every icon but you cant change the psn icon with a theme as far as i know so ive included the rco file to change it, ive also included the normal one to switch back its only 1 rco so its not difficult and let me know what you think so i can use that in a future release thanks..
Instructions aka 1-2-3 UFW (PS3 Ultimate 3.55 CFW):
1. Format USB device FAT32
2. Place PS3UPDAT.PUP in x:/PS3/UPDATE
3. Install via XMB
NOTE: If you are not on OFW 3.55, please download and install that first, the same way you would install NFW. You can find OFW 3.55
here.
PS3Ultimate Store:
How to add the channel:
- Place the folder called xil in this directory "/Dev_hdd0/tmp/explore
- The channel will end up in the Tv Section

To quote: Hey guys I've created this simple rco free package manager installable zip file for you, this can easily be incorporated into your cfw with very little impact and is completely safe and for those of you who want to install a package manager that won't need you to replace any rco files, this is great if you created your own cfw and installing a standard package manager will change your XMB names or layout.
This also will allow you to install packages from:

This won't damage or replace any other package manager you have installed.
For those of you who don't know how to install this all you do is extract the zip and put the PS3~dev_blind~vsh~resource~explore~xmb.zip file on your usb stick then launch multiman, goto mmOS then browse your usb stick and double click on the file and it will ask you if you want to install it choose yes and you're done.
Hope you enjoy this please let me know what you think..
F.A.Q.:
Q: What does RCO-Free mean?
A: It has exellent compatibility because it will work on just about anything also imagine you made your own cfw with altered rco files and set it up perfect just the way you like it then you install a package manager and because it replaced a rco that you had altered you hard work is gone.
Also it reduces the size to next to nothing and it makes it 100% easier to incorporate it into your own cfw if you choose to make one or already have one and since the xml files hardly change you could probably get away with installing it on any update whether you install it with the installable zip or do it manually and it has the multiman downloads folder added to it.
So if you download a pkg through multiman it will show up on the package manager and it also has the directory for the web browser app I provided you can see the full list in the spoiler I'm all about making things simple why make the same app complicated if you can make it simple also if you don't know what your doing its best not to install something that could potentially damage your PS3 with this you don't need to worry.

To quote: Hey everyone today I bring you v1.10 of my app with this comes a lot of updates including a installer which I created with the help of developer andreus because of this installer I have had to make changes to everything so if you have my app installed please uninstall it first along with this update i have created a Web site just for this app which i have created to be viewed mainly on the PS3 so if your viewing it on the pc and the text seems a bit off that's why.
Version 1.10 brings you more channels, more content (with more to come), a updated update section as well as a package installer for the PS3Ultimate TV files as well as the PS3Ultimate TV Installer and Web site and because of the installer as i have said all the files have been altered including the themes.
Here is a link to the Web site (PS3UltimateTV.tk) please use the blog that's what it's there for and along the right hand side you will see info on how to make it appear better on the PS3 and a link to the install guide i have wrote which contains the PS3Ultimate TV Installer and the files for installing this manually.
The reason for that being that the installer currently doesn't work with Cobra cfw so if you need to you can install the flash files manually with the multiman installable zip files which I've also updated so when installing this make sure if you have PS3Ultimate TV v1.09 or below installed to remove it by going into "Game Date Utility" and deleting it but all the information you need is on my guide so enjoy.
v1.11 Changes:
Ok everyone i have just updated my PS3Ultimate TV app to v1.11. I've also updated the installer, so please remove the version you have installed and install it using the updated installer. The update to v1.11 through the app. If there is any issues you find with this, such as anything missing off your XMB, please let me know. Also with this release I have added some applications in the Extra, PS3 XIL section, such as Netflix, YouTube For the PS3, LOVEfilm etc
I've also added some more TV shows and an extra theme, but please remember this is a work progress, so please let me know if your having problems and if anyone wishes to create some extra themes or have any suggestions please let me know by commenting here or on the PS3Ultimate TV blog. I have also updated the PS3Ultimate TV Web site (linked above) so for more information go there.

To quote: About PS3MFW Builder patch_registory.tcl:
Description: Patch Alphabetical sort Order
Option -patch-alpha-sort: Alphabetical sort Order for Games in the XMB
Type -patch-alpha-sort: boolean
More patches to that tcl are incoming. I will add the --patch-rape-sfo function which for now is a dirty patch and will take the sfo's for neogeo and pcengine (X0+X4) so we can use it as our own sfo's and put some app's in own made XMB segments.
For that i also will clean the network category to use it as homebrew category and merge net cat with psn cat together. So that next patch will be a big one.
