29w ago - Several days ago we
received word from a PlayStation 3 developer known as
HDMadness of his PS3 ErmaC 4.30 CFW v1.0 Custom Firmware, which has since been
tested, updated again and retested and now on version 1.1 with several bug fixes and
Cinavia protection disabled for those with PS3 Hardware Flashers only.
Warning: Although tested, it is still advised that
only users with PlayStation 3 Hardware Flashers attempt to install this PS3 Custom Firmware or you may end up bricking your PS3 console!

*You need to be on 3.55 CFW or OFW to install this CFW. After downgrading please install and run toggle_qa.pkg on your PS3 before upgrading to the new version.
Use exactly the same precautions on upgrading/downgrading used on other CFWs to avoid any complication. Enjoy!
Finally, if you do not have a PS3 Hardware Flasher some other (perhaps safer?) PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware options include
Rebug 3.55.3 / 4.21.1 PS3 CFW REX Editions and
Rogero CEX 4.30 CFW v1.00 PS3 Custom Firmware. Below is the ErmaC 4.30 CFW v1.0 PoC demo video for those who missed it:

about 80% of people probably have ps3 on 4.21, 4.25, 4.30 so please can they make an update for people on 4.25, 4.30 already? thanks for the hard work and keep at it!
As a mere end user to all that is available on the scene a BIG SHOUT OUT to all Developers and constructive contributors that make this all possible for guys like me. It is most truly appreciated by me and most others I'm sure!
Any "flasher" owners want to give this a go?
simply untrue, china and other countries in asia have been testing 100gig broadband for nearly 2 years. i ain't seen anywhere in the us with 100gig broadband.
i think uk probably has the worst in europe, even belgium is more stable. as for the updates briscking due to poor internet its highly unlikely since the update is downloaded and verified before install. installation wouldn't proceed if the file was damaged.
it does not install direct over the internet. oh and please don't install this FW without a flasher (or not at all).
