Rogero v4.30 ver 2.03 Released - Now Includes Scenario-Dependent InstallPKG Feature
"ZOMG WHEREZ DA INSTALL PACKAGE XMB ENTRY BRO?", says the Internet loudmouth! "Just go to the "* app_home/PS3_GAME" XMB entry and watch that magically change into an "* Install Package Files" XMB entry", says Rogero!
Rogero, the PS3/Xbox 360 developer that is famous for his fail-safe firmware PUPs, and his now-depreciated backup manager, has decided to release version 2.03 of his 4.30 firmware, which now includes a scenario-dependent 'app_home/InstallPKG' pentagram-marked XMB entry that changes from 'app_home/PS3_GAME' to 'Install Package Files' if multiMAN or any other backup manager doesn't occupy that XMB entry via booting up a backed up game, and this firmware PUP now negates the need to downgrade via the 3.55 Downgrader PUP and re-upgrade, thus allowing anyone to simply install the firmware on top of the currently installed post-3.55 firmware.

* Rebuilt from scratch using OFW4.30 files only (no DEX/SEX files) with official XMB and full features working as in OFW4.30
* All known problems like XMB icons sorting and Demo Mode issues from previous versions are now gone with the use of the official XMB.
* New Improved "Install Package Files" Application added to XMB instead of using the traditional DEX Icon, to have a 100% original XMB.
* Once the PS3 is booted, select the [app_home/PS3_GAME] Icon and It will change automatically to [* Install Package Files]
* If you load a Game from multiMAN it will still be redirected and shown under the same [app_home/PS3_GAME] Icon
* After loading a Game, you can restart the PS3 again to have [* Install Package Files] back on XMB
* You can also Install the new stand-alone XMB application from Deank --> [* Install Package Files] to have it showing permanently on XMB.
- [* Install Package Files] function supports:
--- up to 256 pkg files
--- split pkg files
--- sorting
--- queued PKG indication (in red)
--- multipart (split) PKG indication (in yellow)
--- copy/transfer progress
--- Scanned locations: /dev_usb*** /dev_hdd0 /dev_bdvd in /PKG /packages and root folders
--- Split files format: .0 - .63 / .66600 - .66663 / .001 - .064
* CFW Structure fixed to match the OFW 4.xx Structure:
--- No more corrupted data error messages while Installing from XMB or Recovery Menu.
--- The CFW can be installed fine from XMB Update over any OFW3.55/CFW3.55/CFW4.21/CFW4.30.
--- HDD can be swapped/changed and the CFW4.30 v2.03 will re-install without any problem.
* Patched LV1 to disable LV2 Protection.
* Patched LV1 to add peek/poke support to replace hvc 182/183 (multiMAN Direct Disc Access is now working fine with CFW4.30 v2.03)
* Patched LV1 to disable SYSTEM MANAGER INTEGRITY CHECK (to prevent Bricking on non-dehashed downgraded consoles)
* Patched LV1 Core OS Hash Check (to prevent Bricking on non-dehashed downgraded consoles)
* The CFW can be used directly for Downgrading with Hardware flashers /Flashing from FSM/Exiting from FSM, all works fine.
* Patched LV2 to add peek/poke support. (for both LV1 and LV2)
* Patched VSH to enable ReActPSN compatibility (Allow Unsigned act.dat and *.rif files, Disable Unlinking/Deleting of act.dat)
* Spoofed the system version to latest OFW version 4.31.
* PSN/SEN access is available as long as the current "passphrase" still the same.
* Loading games from App_home Icon is now fixed.
* It can run games signed with Keys up to version 4.30 without any Eboot/Sprx patching needed
* Games can be loaded from Disc Icon (with Original game in BD) and from app_home (Disc-less, but not all games).
* Current 3.55 homebrew applications can't be loaded on this CFW, applications must be re-signed properly for FW4.21/4.30
Upon installing the firmware, the * app_home/PS3_GAME/ changes to * Install Package Files when the * app_home/PS3_GAME/ entry is highlighted, BUT be aware that the Package Installer feature in this firmware is actually based on DeanK's InstallPKG.pkg application.
Does that mean I can install this CFW from my Rogero CFW without going to 3.55 first?
Yes, and I can happily confirm that, as I've installed this PUP on top of his earlier, Demo-Mode error-prone version of the same firmware (4.30 base revision (1.00)).
Yes you do, to PS3UPDAT.PUP, and it needs to be placed in the X:\PS3\UPDATE directory, whereby X represents the drive letter of your USB memory dongle.
It loaded to 70 percent ,corrupted file.ill try downloading again
