20w ago - Following up on the 4.11, 4.10 and 4.00 PlayStation 3 Custom Firmware modification updates, today Szalay has shared a guide on bringing Install Package Files folder back to VSH on Rogero 4.30 CFW.

To quote: Maybe it's just my opinion, but the Install Package via multiman and other Install PKG application are not the greatest options.

Here's how to TRULY add back Install Package from the VSH directly like before in v3.41/v3.55 for CFW build's v4.30.

				/>
			<Query

				/>

Happy New Year! Enjoy!!

Installation Instructions:

The download contains two installation methods; one manual, and one automatic. Instructions below:

Manual Installation

Enable /dev_blind write access to /dev_flash
And then COPY/FTP those files to the /dev_blind/vsh/module/blah*.sprx , etc, etc
Reset your console

Automatic Installation

Enable /dev_blind write access to /dev_flash
Just double click it in multiMAN
Then reset your console

F.A.Q.

How Does this Work?

"The reason install package was blocked in later than 3.6x firmwares, was because from 3.6x and higher, they started checking for valid tokens, the new ecdsa signed tokens and then flags to enable Install Package to work. The patch done just fakes the SPRX's into thinking the token flag is set."

Is This Safe?

"As far as being dangerous, the creator of CFW should be able to decrypt said SPRX files and replace the patches and recrypt/resign files properly and package inside the PS3UPDAT.PUP for all future builds"

Thanks Rogero! Works like a charm on my CECH-20048. Enabled the QA Fag, flashed OFW 3.55 over Dongle V2 and then flashed Rogero 4.21!! On a side note, mine isn't a downgraded PS3.

matt101 afaik it has been confirmed working
