I have a PS3 on 3.60 firmware with a broken BD drive, I was a bit hesitant to downgrade and then install a NoBD CFW since I would face all these problems with trophies and stuff but this CFW would have worked perfectly. Bad thing the PS3 has the YLOD now.

**RemedyX5** · 07-09-2012

Where are you located? theirs many routes you can take for repairs. Sony charges $107 with 3 month warranty to repair or replace the console even if opened, or depending on location there are places that you can send it out to get re-flowed. hope this helps

Right now I wouldnt even bother with this CFW cause as of now the PSN/SEN ACCESS isn't going to work considering there was a 4.21 update which I knew all along was a way to fix CFW user getting on PSN/SEN!

**HeyManHRU** · 07-10-2012

The 4.21 was first optional and then become mandatory just recently, there is still a change of CFW users accessing PSN but I don't think it will come anytime soon.

**glonyx** · 07-10-2012

sorry for being such a noob, but can this cfw be installed on a ps3 with firmware 3.68 without a downgrade? can i install this directly? thanks for your answers

**HeyManHRU** · 07-10-2012

No, you will need to downgrade first.

**UserDifferentia** · 07-15-2012

Hi, does anyone know how I can downgrade from 4.21? I'm having the most difficult time doing so... by the way, I'd also like to know use Lvl1 or Lvl2.

**amanat9** · 07-15-2012

what is the best cfw now? and what is the latest backup manager? thank you

**Maajid** · 07-20-2012

Rebug and Multiman.

You're welcome.

Today PlayStation 3 developer Rogero has made available (via ps3devwiki.com/files/firmware/MFW-DEX/Downgrader/RogeroDEXv1/) a Rogero 3.55 DEX Downgrader CFW Peek / Poke PS3UPDAT.PUP with details below, as follows:

Download: Rogero 3.55 DEX Downgrader CFW Peek / Poke PS3UPDAT.PUP / Rogero 3.55 DEX Downgrader CFW Peek / Poke PS3UPDAT.PUP (Mirror) / Rogero 3.55 DEX Downgrader CFW Peek / Poke PS3UPDAT.PUP (Mirror #2) / http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/firmware/MFW-DEX/Downgrader/RogeroDEXv1/R-3.55-DEX-DG-C_F_W-PeekPoke.PUP (Mirror #3)

Here's a DEX 3.55 CFW with both Peek/Poke and Downgrader features built-in:

MD5: 81e0c358411d75491a11f5b9386dc174

it can be used as a normal 3.55DEX FW during the CEX to DEX conversion.
it can be used as a normal 3.55DEX FW that can run Backups.
it can be used for Downgrading back to 3.55DEX from 3.55+ DEX FW versions.

No more need to use 2 different 3.55-DEX PUPs.

Cheers

Rogero 3.55 DEX V2

Download: Rogero 3.55 DEX V2 / Rogero 3.55 DEX V2 (Mirror) / Rogero 3.55 DEX V2 (Mirror #2)

MD5: cc55f7f0c29aa310150db50c16f82c60

This is version 2 of the DEX Downgrader/CFW, it have the following features:

Peek/Poke Support
LV1 Checks are patched to bypass syscon hashes mismatch while switching FWs. (This will avoid some bricking too)
Installation of Retail and pseudo-Retail packages on DEX.
Running unsigned applications.
Installation on consoles with broken Blu-ray drive.
Downgrader feature from 3.55+ DEX back to 3.55DEX (This is the same as the original 3.55DEX-Downgrader)

I couldn't test this FW because i'm still away from my PS3, please some feedback will be appreciated especially on the Downgrading feature (maybe downgrading will work only for <= 4.11-DEX and not for 4.20DEX)

Cheers
