21w 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.

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"

Couldn't downgrade from 3.55 DEX to 3.55 CEX, although I've re-flashed CEX flash, had to brick it knowing the consequences.
Unbricked via PS3Jig and FSM, but the HDD was wiped in the process, lost saves and trophies.

What I'm going to stress, is that if you moving from DEX to this new CFW, be sure do do rehash trick, just in case.

i really suggest people don't use this. they need to just wait probably like a week for a better release. idk how people are still getting it when sites pulled it and suggested that it shouldn't be used... ah well, to each their own

well said, a little more waiting wont kill you but could kill your ps3 if you don't.

Hi, its been a while since i been here but i was wondering if its possible now with the new cfw to downgrade from 4.25 to the new cfw?

http://www.ps3news.com/ps3-cfw-mfw/rogero-cex-ps3-custom-firmware-cfw-v4-21-is-now-released/ stated that its always possible to downgrade or was that for other cfw

This is nothing new. When you copy to the PC you get the exact same thing. I got that game and I already have a copy of that on my PC.

The only thing new is you can get the files from the PS3 instead of the PC.
All this shows you is where the files go on the PS3.
