Tortuga Cove Resident Roger strikes again this time with an update to his ever popular Rogero CFW. This update adds 4.20 Spoofing

-v3.2 Updated the system version spoof to 4.20 to prevent accidental system updates (won't allow going online in any way)

-v3.1 BSOD problem on some PS3 machines after downgrade now is fixed..

Usage / Compatibility:
- Can be used for Downgrade directly using a hardware flasher like Progskeet / E3 Flasher / Teensy++, etc...
- Can be used for normal system update like any other CFW/MFW from XMB or from Recovery Menu.

Internal Structure:
New Features:
- Built-in system version spoof to 4.20 to prevent accidental system updates (won't allow going online in any way)
- NoBD Patch to allow installing it with the Blu-Ray drive disconnected (especially for downgrading purposes)
- Have other fixes that prevents the Black screen or Payload loading problems encountered on some PS3 systems.

Standard Features:
- Kmeaw patched Lv2 with necessary patches to allow Peek/Poke support (same games compatibility as Kmeaw CFW)
- LV1 Checks Disabled to bypass the Syscon hashes for downgraded consoles.
- Privacy Patch applied to block communications with all Sony servers.
- Custom Boot Logo.
- built-in "Heavy Rain" dynamic theme.

This is a better optimized version of the previous MFW released, This one is a Custom firmware
built manually by patching and packing the files and the final PUP package using the well known
"failoverflow" public set of tools and having "Kmeaw" as the base firmware unlike it's previous
version which was a Modified firmware built using the famous MFW builder application and using
an OFW3.55 as the base firmware.


History:
After several days and more testing of the first MFW released for downgrading from 3.70-->3.55
I had some users feedback from #progskeet-support that some PS3 machines are having either
the Registry Corrupted/Blue Screen or just a Black Screen after downgrade that required re-installing
the MFW from Recovery Menu or reflashing the NOR in some cases.

Further research about the downgrade V2 patches and the no_check.PUP with some more testing
showed that a Kmeaw based LV2 seems to have better compatibility with the Downgrade patches
applied to the NOR image then a MFW built with a patched LV2, so I decided to build a new version
manually which is a custom firmware that combines Kmeaw LV2 patches with Dospiedras Lv1 no-check
patches and having the minimal/necessary set of patches to preserve the best overall stability.

Thanks to the all the beta testers especially Blakcat & Marlboro1

N.B: please note that Rogero Manager v8.5 or newer are only compatible with this CFW V2
because the CFW have the built in version spoofed to 3.70 and older versions of the Manager (8.4 and lower)
can't recognize it and won't be able to load the necessary payload.

Cheers

Hi Rogero, i have couple question about this cfw:
1. Is this the same with "..CFW V2 Kmeaw LV1 Patched 3.72 Spoof Privacy Patch...."?
2. Also, is the spoof thingy removable/ uninstallable/deletable (in case I do not want this spoof thingy on my system)?
3. Yesterday, when I tried to back up from the "back up utility" from the xmb with my usb stick, it says something"....you need at least 88GB to back up....." (i got the step by step instruction by you at ps3hax); is this big file normal because I don't have anything on my picture, video, and music's files? (I am in the process to upgrade my int HDD). Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I just updated the link to point to the latest CFW V2 with the 3.72 spoof, this spoof is built in into the CFW so it can only be overwritten with another spoofer (maybe future version 3.72+) but you can't disabled it (make it 3.55 again) unless you use a 3.55 spoofer for example or overwrite the corresponding files in the Flash (but this is not recommended if you don't know what you're doing)

About this backup utility from XMB, I don't use it, i just copy the Game Saves that i need to USB stick then exchange/Update the HDD.

Cheers

My point asking about the possibility to remove the spoof because eventually (in case) i want to back to OFW without any problem at all. I've read somewhere when somebody wants to back to OFW, he/she has to remove the spoof before goes back to ofw. Is that any way/option to go back to ofw in the future with this cfw?

That's very simple, you can Enter Recovery Mode in order to bypass any spoof applied and install 3.55OFW or any other OFW/CFW you like.

Rogero is this safe for any PS3s or just ones downgraded with Nand/Nor flasher?

Edit: read it again and I think I got my answer, but now I see that in the description you say you didn't add privacy patch & download link says privacy patch. Which is it?

Edit 2: also would everything be just as it was if I decide to go to my old CFW/MFW?
