Here's where i am in case anyone is in the same situation, and can offer help or solidarity lol.
from CFW3.55>4.21 (Following PSHomebrew instructions to the letter). I'm on a slim, btw. Installation seemed fine but then sort of timed out. Manually turned ps3 off. Powered back and see Rogero upon startup. Nothing works in terms of backed up games, playing games off of xmb, etc. Replaced Multiman to latest version. Now i can access backed games but when i try to play one, nothing but little stars dancing around.
Have to manually turn off system. Tried going from 4.21>4.30Rog to no avail. Downloading a Downgrader pup 4.25>3.55 (yes i know i was under 4.21 but that's what i found). System actually found the update on usb and started going...until i did the QAToggle.pkg thingy. I got the beeps but system froze again with the stars in the background.
Manually turned off system, checked version and seems i'm on the 'hybrid' 4.21. I can access MM, Showtime, view backed games, but if i try and play a game, can't get past the little stars in background. Played a game off a disc (F1'06) to make sure my system was functional. Worked no problems until i tried to quit by pressing PS button. Had to manually shut off.
So i'm on 4.21 hybrid, if i'm not mistaken, and looking to either go up to 4.30 or, ideally, back down to CFW3.55.
I'd pay cash money for some useful help here...
If anyone knows a shop in NYC that can bring me back down to 3.55 hook a brother up!
