You need to be on 3.55 ofw or cfw to install ErmaC CFW. Please downgrade using the proper procedures (999 downgrader from Rebug team is the best option) and after downgrading please install and run 'toggle_qa.pkg' on your PS3 before upgrading again to the new version.
Use exactly the same precautions on upgrading/downgrading used on other CFWs to avoid any complication. Enjoy!

Hmm I might buy the ac3 ultimate edition...
dunno about that old version of MM, but you should be able to update from right inside of it. as for kmeaw, you might have to check around a bit for that. i fortunately still had my copy of it on my HDD.
thats great thanks will do it
also do you have a link for the newest multiman that will work on my kmeaw?
also do you have a link for the new multiman for 3.55kmeaw?
thanks again
next, this guide should help with qa_toggle and dehashing (recommended)
3rd, from what i've been told, DO NOT have a disc in the system when trying to update the firmware, since it will wanna pul the firmware from the disc first (don't know if it holds true or not though, but better safe than sorry) and last, make sure you install from recovery mode.
I've been using Ermac for a few days now, and everything seems to be running smooth. On a side note, is sony still dropping the ban hammer on people with 4.30CFW?
oh, i almost forgot. to make a NAND/NOR backup, go to mmOS, select any file, then hit (start? whatever it is for the hex viewer, it says at the bottom), select no twice, and then yes to backup FLASH.
