#This CFW will not brick your PS3 System or Harddrive if you install it properly. Use it with caution, the author of this CFW will not be held responsible for any damage that may be caused to your system.

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!

hmmm, yea not possible as i know of now, but i would say sooner or later the dev's will come up with something for you, if you don't want to wait it out you could bring it back to he store you bought it from, and look around for a used one and check the fw on it before you buy, or sell yours and buy one that way, or go to gamestop and they always have bargain disks for around 10-15$

join gamefly and they will send you a disk at a time for free for a month, then 15 dollars a month to keep your subscription, blockbuster will do the same and only 9.99 month after the first, gamefly is easier to get newer games, not sure why you would pay all that money for a ps3 if you cant afford some games tho lol

Has anyone tried ErmaC 1.4 CFW already? I have ErmaC 1.3 CFW now I want to upgrade to 1.4.

For those you has already upgraded from ermac 1.3 to 1.4, do I need to do the following steps?

1) run Rebug 999 downgrader from xmb
2) go to Setting --> Debug Settings --> System Update Debug --> SET ON
3) Toggle QA Flag Enable.
4) install Rebug 3.55.3 CFW from recovery
5) go to Setting --> Debug Settings --> System Update Debug --> SET OFF
6) Check QA Flag Enable and install KMEAW from recovery.
7) dehash, check QA Flag Enable
8) install ErmaC 4.30 CFW 1.4

Am I correct? Please answer.
