For all the users that are having the Singstar Icon on XMB, please know that this is a pure Original FW 4.30/4.31 feature and
it seems it is only showing for Europe users when they connect the PS3 to the internet.

Here's two links to the SingStar problem with OFW4.30 :

quoted from Dean:









If you ever feel sad and want singstar back - just press [Triangle]
and [Delete] the new [IPF] and XMB will bring SS back. You can also get
rid of the standalone installPKG and you'll have a legitimate IPF now
(using the ID of Singstar - so no worries there!)

But as any CFW release you must install it with caution and by following
proper instructions, No one will be held responsible for any damage
caused.

ATTENTION:

1- This CFW does have LV1 checks
disabled and can be installed on Downgraded PS3 consoles even if not
dehashed after downgrade. Just in case anyone still need to dehash,
here's the link Link ----> [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

2- Always make a NOR/Nand dump using multiMAN before installing any CFW to have a recovery backup in case of any bricks.
Having a valid NOR/Nand dump is an essential step before upgrading,
because you will always have a chance to recover when you have a valid
dump.
** A Hardware Flasher alone without a valid dump may not fix your bricked PS3 **

3- The QA flag is better to be always Enabled on your PS3 for safer upgrading/downgrading operations. Link ----> [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

4- Please Check the MD5 of the downloaded PUP file before installing any CFW to avoid possible bricks.

5- DO NOT HAVE DISC IN PS3 WHEN UPDATING FIRMWARES..As the PS3 will take the UPDATE from the DISC First.

6- You need to be already on a
3.55OFW or 3.55CFW/4.21CFW/4.30CFW to install this. Installing from any
OFW > 3.55 won't work. (Hardware Flasher needed)



- Downgrading back to 3.55 is always possible using the following steps :
- Download the Downgrader PUP ---> [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] mirror ---> [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
...Size 176MB (184,595,263 bytes) MD5: 49d80e07fc1f5ca1b0840e02e94635db
- Rename the downloaded file to "PS3UPDAT.PUP" and put it on your USB in: "USB\PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP"
- While on Rogero CFW4.30, go to System Update from XMB and install the Downgrader PUP.
- After the Downgrader PUP installs you'll be on a hybrid CFW3.55 that
will still shows the spoofed ver4.21 from system settings.
- In case you didn't have it Set Before, Enable QA flag by following these steps:

1- Download the Rebug QA_Toggle package from here ---> [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
2- Put the "toggle_qa.pkg" on USB and Install it on the PS3.
3- Run the "Rebug Toggle QA" from XMB, the
screen will go Black and you will see HDD Led activity then if all went
fine you will hear 2 or 3 Beeps and the PS3 will Restart back to XMB.
4- If you want to make sure QA flag was set, go to "Network Settings" then apply the following key combo (all at the same time):

L1 + L2 + L3 (press left stick) + R1 + R2 + dpad_down

You should see Edy Viewer, Debug Settings, and Install Package Files if done correctly.

- Now put "Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7" on your USB in: "USB\PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP" ---> [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
