PS3 4.84 OVERFLOW (Cobra v7.55) CFW + NoBD/NoBT versions included by Bobby_Downgrades

Along with the 4.84 Standard CFW release by @Bobby_Downgrades the developer has also released a suite of 4.84 COBRA (v7.55) CFW for the scene as well. A "Cobra CFW" has the cobra payload injected into the firmware giving the CFW even more features, like the ability to use Background running plugins / ISO Support / Streaming of games from a local point on your network and a variety of extra features not found in your standard firmware. In versions 1.00-6.00 this cobra "payload' was sold on a usb dongle known as CobraUSB by the Cobra Team.

After a year plus of neglect by the team to the people whom purchased the device there were various attempts to crack the device open for all and Cobra Team was prepared, as they secured the device very well. Then there was a person that simply asked them to release it to the public so the community could make use of it, They later agree and did release the source code . Then months a followup release was made by CobraUSB former lead developer (whom was no longer affiliated with Cobra Team at the time and cleaned up the source code, explained what it was doing and also implemented it into a CFW (a re-post as the original forum tortuga-cove is longer active) that marked for the first time without the need of CobraUSB dongle user could enjoy the Cobra features and the community could then expand it.

Then from there that is exactly what we have seen over time with various developer's adding to the project, You can head over @Joonie 's github for the latest cobra source code and all those changes from devs like @Joonie, @habib,@aldostools @kokotonix, @deank & @_NzV_ are listed Now residing at version 7.55 we see it hit 4.84 CFW with the release of 4.84 OVERFLOW COBRA (CEX) EDITION, this release has all the features within OVERFLOW Standard plus all the features that Cobra 7.55 offers. See the full details of the devs release below. Just like the Standard release a NoBD and a NoBT version has been included in this release also for those with broken components on their PS3 conole's

  HOW TO INSTALL
  Your ps3 must be jailbroken or must have just been flashed with a hardware flasher to install cfw.
  
  Make sure your usb is formatted to fat 32.
  
  1. Create a folder on your usb called PS3. (in capitals)
  2. Inside the PS3 folder make another folder called UPDATE. (in capitals)
  3. Put the PS3UPDAT.PUP file inside the UPDATE folder.
  4. Put your usb into your ps3 and go to the settings column, go to system update and update via storage media.​
  
  
  HOW I GO ONLINE (PSN)​
  
  IF COBRA CEX.
  
  1. start ps3.
  2. Use any homebrew apps your gonna use like multiman.
  3. load game to xmb with WEBMAN or put disc in.
  4. press R2 and triangle to wipe history and disable cfw system calls. (R2 and triangle do the same job as ps ninja and psn patch)
  5. start game and/or sign in.​
  
  
  IMPORTANT NOTE:
  
  • Ccapi (console manager) uninstalls when you install new cfw so make sure you have your cid saved if ccapi is set to change your cid at boot.
    If you already have Webman setting your cid keep a copy before updating.
  • I only use facebook, ngu and portal centric, psx place and sometimes psn. I only ever go by the name Bobby Downgrades, if you come accross the name on a site other than those it's probably not me and if the name is not "Bobby Downgrades" IT'S NOT ME. If in doubt contact me on facebook or through ps3updat.com.

I manually added the xml instead, but this worked!! My webman menu is back, and I tested Burnout 3 for ps2 isos and it ran alright!!

only oddity is standard multiman now thinks its in cobra mode in-app w/o another switch.... hmm. (I wasnt mounting with MM anyway so lol)

Thanks again Cypher! and Yay PSX-Place!

Your welcome, glad you got it sorted.

The install zip was just so you or other people didn't have to go navigating through the folders. But its just the same as doing it manually.

As I understand it on these CFW's Cobra is enabled by default afaik, so regardless of if you mount with MM it will be in Cobra Compatible mode, where as with REBUG CFW you can toggle Cobra Mode on and off in the Toolbox.

I could be wrong as the only CFW I use is REBUG REX and D-REX and only switch to other's to test out mods and stuff to make sure they work on other CFW's and not just REBUG CFW's.

Maybe some else can shed some light on this......

If you're mounting with wMM that pretty much tells me you have Cobra enabled CFW which by default multiMAN will boot in mmCM mode, you can switch to mM mode from multiMAN's settings column but other than that, that's how multiMAN works

thanks, I had it in Cobra mode brefore the update, i just thought i would try switching after hearing about the disappearing multiman thing. But Not only did mine not disappear but I was never really using it for mounts anyway. It's really my file browser for me. Thanks for sharing that tidbit, Sounds like it's not a big deal than.

 

I just installed the update, everything was working fine, no issues so far. However, when I installed the COD Mod Manager, it prompted me to install a CEX to DEX program (I forgot the exact title, hopefully someone knows what I'm talking about.) After I installed that, my system restarted and turned back on. Now there's nothing being output through the HDMI cable. I've also tried the AV cable, no luck with that. I rebooted in safe mode, and the only way I could get the PS3 to start normally was by reinstalling the Overflow udate. I'm running a PS3 Slim model CECH-2501B. Anyone know what the problem is, or if there even is one?
