I am am having a problem upgrading my HHD again. I have a 1.5tb drive. I followed the instructions below. System was on Rogero 4.30 v2.03
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changing/Upgrading the HDD while on Rogero CFW4.30 should be done using the following steps :
- Download the Downgrader PUP ---> Downgrader PUP mirror ---> Downgrader PUP
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"
- Swap the current HDD with the New HDD, Turn the PS3 on, follow screen instructions and let it install the Downgrader CFW.
- After the Downgrader CFW installs you'll be on a hybrid CFW3.55 that will still shows ver4.21 from system settings.
- Enable QA flag by following these steps:
1- Download the Rebug QA_Toggle package from here ---> toggle_qa.pkg
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" ---> Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7.PUP
- Start the PS3 into Recovery Menu and install "Rogero CEX-3.55 CFW V3.7" (from Recovery Menu, this is important)
- Once you're back on Rogero CFW3.55 v3.7 Start the PS3 into Recovery Menu and install any CFW 3.55/4.21/4.30.

Put down425to355.PUP to the usb. Renames it to UPDAT.PUP. It did the update. and said it would restart by itself. PS3 got to 100% but froze. I turned it off and booted to a blank screen. Tried to rebuild file system and it said it can access the HHD. I reformatted the drive again to Fat32. Did it again and it just keeps asking me to install 4.40 or higher. I have tried this a few times and the same thing. it installs the update file then reboots and keeps telling me:
Note: I did screw up and forgot I had a disk in the drive when I did the 1st downgrade update.
The system software cannot be run correctly. Press the PS
button to try to restart the system.
If the system cannot be restarted, you must reinstall the
system software.
Connect storage media that contains update data of version
4.40 or later, and then press the START and SELECT buttons
at the same time.
For information on how to obtain update data, refer to the SCE
Web site for your region.
Any Help would be great don't want to mess up anything more then it might be!
