Following their Ferrox PS3 Custom Firmware 4.82 v1.01 Cobra 7.55 update, today PlayStation 3 developer @Alexanderss released Ferrox PS3 Custom Firmware (CFW) 4.82 NoBD Cobra 7.55 for those with broken, faulty or missing Blu-ray drives. :cool:

Download: Custom Firmware FERROX 4.82 NoBD COBRA 7.55 / CEXFERROX482COBRA755_noBD_100.PUP (197.8 MB - Mirror)

PUP MD5: 8f70b35dcfbcfdf9f99a2d6f8d686b7b

To quote from LizZo on CyberModding.it, roughly translated: Release - Custom Firmware FERROX 4.82 NoBD COBRA 7.55

Here is also the NoBD version as usual! This version of the FERROX Custom Firmware is designed for anyone who has a failed reader. In fact, the NoBD completely disables the reader, and with this the console returns to work fully. You can start Games and Homebrew without any mistake!

The FERROX NoBD COBRA 7.55 version imitates the normal COBRA version, with just the addition of the NoBD Patches. So I report the news in the new version COBRA 7.55 in case you missed them.

CHANGELOG COBRA 7.55:
  • COBRA 7.54 - Fixed Bug in the installation of game updates with Syscalls disabled - Credits to Alexander, Aldostools, Joonie.
  • COBRA 7.55 - Fixed Bug to delete game data / Applications / Homebrew with Syscalls Disabled - Credits to Alexander.
CFW CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Built on the base of OFW 4.82 SONY.
  • PSN / SEN Enabled.
  • Ability to Update from any CFW (CEX).
  • Possibility of Update from OFW 3.55 and from Original Firmware 4.82 [through PS3Xploit - compatible consoles only]
  • Possibility of Downgrade from any CFW with active QA Flags.
  • QA Flags active if previously enabled.
  • FEATURE - COBRA Patches 7.55 added
  • FEATURE - New Look of the XMB (See FERROX Mod Installer below).
  • FEATURE - PS2 Games compatibility.
  • FEATURE - PSP Games compatibility in ISO / Minis / Remaster format.
  • FEATURE - Compatibility with the latest version of ReactPSN.
  • FEATURE - RSOD Screen Bypass for Consoles affected by RSOD.

  • PATCH - PS3 BT Remote Patch.
  • PATCH - PS3 BluRay Disc Patch.
  • PATCH - Disabled Epilepsy Message at the Boot.
  • PATCH - CINAVIA protection Disabled completely.
INSTALLING THE CFW:

Install twice to ensure that the NoBD Patches are installed correctly!
  • Download the CFW at the top of the page. Rename the .PUP file exactly in: PS3UPDAT.PUP and compare the MD5 with the one you find at the bottom of the page! You can use the md5sums tool that you find online!
  • Take a USB formatted in FAT32, and create a new folder called PS3, inside it create another one called UPDATE, and inside this last insert the PS3UPDAT.PUP File, which would be the Custom Firmware.
  • Insert the USB into the rightmost port on the Ps3.
  • Be sure to: Remove any disc from the Ps3 player, Disassemble any Games loaded with any Manager, Disable Internet Connection.
  • Ok. You can choose to Install the CFW from the XMB or from Recovery.
TESTS MADE:
  • LizZo - CECH-2104A
  • Dodero4 - CECH-2504A
  • MiZiO90 - CECH-2004A
  • WAR - CECH-2004A
In tests for the COBRA 7.55 we tested many PS3, PS2, PSP and PSX games, in all formats. Some of the games tried in the spoiler.

Thanks go all to the Developer Alexander for the continuous work on FERROX at every opportunity. Acknowledgments also due to all members of the Cybermodding Staff to conduct tests before release (-:

Remember again that this version is to be used only if you have a broken reader. If you do not have the faulty reader, use the normal COBRA version (-:

There are no differences between the COBRA version and the COBRA NoBD version. There is only the NoBD Patch to differentiate them !!

i dont even know why sony even bothers with the ps3 anymore... no doubt still some hectic games on ps3 that should get re made for ps4 but fork me gonna end up at 5.xx before they call it quits
 
That would be a PS3 Super Slim 3K model according to the chart, meaning it can't be downgraded via hardware flasher nor the PS3Xploit yet to Install PS3 CFW on.

You could get some older games working using the methods HERE or get an ODE hardware mod, although if I were you I'd either trade/sell it for a different model PS3 or wait for an updated PS3Xploit... although there is no ETA when one may be available so like PS4 jailbreaking it's a waiting game.
 
Hi all,

I have recently hacked my PS3 with the USB exploit. I'm very new to the scene and can see so many different CFW being released. My question is do I need or should I put one of these CFW over my one?

Thanks
 
CEXFERROX482COBRA753_100.pup = NORMAL CFW FOR GOOD WORKING BD DRIVE BOARD

CEXFERROX482COBRA755_noBD_100.pup = BROKEN BD DRIVE BOARD so it skips to avoid errors
