As always, keep in mind these PUP updates will currently NOT install on a retail PS3, and so they are intended for examination and comparison purposes only.
We have 100% confirmed that running this updater on a retail PS3 will not damage it, however, it will give the following error before the installation completes: The data type is not supported. (8002F029)

Finally, in related news below is a
PS3 Restore Utility Backup / Restore DEX Console Guide (via ps3ita.it/hack/ripristino-utilita-di-backuprestoresu-console-dex-by-ps3ita/):
After making the conversion of the PS3 console from retail (CEX) in debug (DEX), some may have noticed the lack of utility of backup / restore (accessible from Settings -> System Settings -> Backup Utility) that allowed you to save all content (accounts, photos, music, games, etc. with the exception of trophies) on external media to back recovery in case of failure / change of the internal hard disk.
Therefore PS3ITA, thanks to our mythical
Rancid-o, provides a simple method to restore such function by means of easily installable file pkg.
We found a way to restore Backup Utility in DEX:
Just install and start this pkg: http://uploading.com/files/get/5dd48caa/Restore_backup_utility.pkg
There is also a pkg for uninstall: http://uploading.com/files/get/c7ff884f/Uninstall_backup_utility.pkg
This is because if the option backup utility does not uninstall many options are not displayed in "debug settings". Oh I forgot has only been tested on cfw 3.55 DEX.
im a new user...
i don't suppose anyone has a link that won't insist that i install ilivid download manager.
hopefully i've got it coming now. that's if the file is called fffffff.rar

PS3ITA_Debug_4_21_v0.9.PUP MD5: abd0aaca504a271c65a10f8122ba96c2
To quote, roughly translated: After noting the creation of "PSoN_DEX V2" and "Change_IDPS-All_Region", you PS3ITA announces the release of CFW 4.21-DEX and Change_IDPS-All_region-4_21.
Finally a good news for all users who have bought a console converted into DEX (debug / test) who want to start their own game backups regularly purchased without having to resort to various patches / fix for cfw 3.55.
The CFW has already been tested on different consoles, and we can confirm that everything works fine without any problems, including their access to the PSN and PS-STORE.
Following are the details:

BUG (common to all fw 4.2x/4.3x):

PREPARATION GUIDE
• Console (NOR \ NAND) with cfw / ofw fw Downgrader 3:55 DEX or DEX
IMPORTANT: If you are on ofw debug than 4.21 (type 4.25) must strictly pass before the fw Downgrader DEX

• Download CFW 4.21 PS3ITA-DEX (linked above)
• Once you have unpacked the zip (password: gintonic) make sure that the md5 fits into this: abd0aaca504a271c65a10f8122ba96c2. To check the md5 you can use this MD5Checker: getmd5checker.com/download/latest/Md5Checker.zip
• PKG-Change_IDPS All_region-4_21 be installed on the console after cfw:
• INSTALL CFW 4.21 PS3ITA-DEX and Change_IDPS-All_region-4_21
IMPORTANT: If you are on ofw debug than 4.21 (type 4.25) must strictly pass before the fw Downgrader DEX

• Start the console from the XMB and follow the standard procedure to install your CFW 4.21 PS3ITA-DEX from usb stick formatted in FAT32 (just like you would a normal fw):

• Install from XMB-> Game-> Install Package Files
• Start-Change_IDPS All_region-4_21 and wait for the refresh of the console
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• Change_IDPS must be started after every reboot of the console before groped access to PSN and PS-STORE (if you do not get an error: 8002A224)
• Check in the debug menu settings (it's under Network Settings), the NP Environment setting is set as np (not sp-int)
• L 'IDPS is set in automatic mode (depending on your region (EU, USA, etc.).
• When the Change_IDPS is functioning properly, the LED will switch on the console from the usual green color to YELLOW
A big thanks to the Team Rebug, the Three Musketeers, PS3 Dev Wiki, Graf_Chokolo, EUSS, naehrwert and especially Rancid (o) who created / the entire project.
Update: From Rancid-o: How to use the pkg: http://www.ps3ita.it/download/homebrew/Fix_Update_4.21+.pkg
1) Run a game from Multiman
2. Returning to the XMB, if you have not already done so, start the game and download the update, at this point if the update is greater than 4.21 will give the usual error 0x80010009 and return to xmb..
3. Run Fix_Update_4.21+
4. Start the game again
Note: The fix for that game is permanent. If you have already downloaded the update just run the game from multiMAN, back to the XMB, run the pkg and run the game. Sorry for the bad English, oh forgot works on all cfw 4.xx
Guys.. use version 2 of the "Change IDPS All Region": http://www.ps3ita.it/download/homebrew/Change_IDPS_All_Region_v2-4.21.pkg
The first version had a stupid "bug" that does not allow you to use the online pass purchased. Sorry for that..
