Update Rogero PS3 Custom Firmware

Rogero (pseudonym) is a well known Playstation 3 (PS3) developer that offers, free of charge, a CFW (Custom Firmware) having the same name. The Regero firmware is used on the PS3 after jailbreak.

To jailbreak the PS3 is a process by which a system bug is exploited allowing a level of access to the subsystem which makes it possible to replace the authorized factory firmware with a customized firmware created by the hacker community. Advantages to running a custom firmware amount to increased capability, backup ability, and control over the system beyond what Sony would otherwise allow. One particular benefit is the ability to install an entire game from the Bluray so that disc insertion is no longer required to play a game. This way those precious and expensive game discs can be stored away safely, preventing scratches and damage, while all your games are accessible directly from the system drive or an attached USB storage device.

It is very easy to jailbreak your PlayStation if you have not used the system update to update your PlayStation to a version higher than OFW 3.55. You do not need to buy any special devices to jailbreak your PlayStation, or pay for any special software. Everything you need is free to download. You will need a USB Flash Drive and a PC.

If you have a PlayStation with a firmware version newer/higher than 3.55 it is still possible to jailbreak it, but it is a lot more involved and does require the purchase of hardware.

This guide covers, specifically, the process of upgrading a PS3 that has already jailbreak applied, and is using the Rogero custom firmware. The guide can also be followed for the purpose of applying jailbreak to a PS3 that still has official factory firmware 3.55 or older. Although the example in this guide demonstrates updating Rogero version 4.31 to Rogero 4.46, it can be generally applied to updating the Rogero of nearly any version to the latest release.
