Bluedisk-CFW 4.25 Is Here (and Works!)

Submitted by Christopher Groux; October 22, 2012

It's been a while since users have had any REAL and genuine update to their custom firmware, sure developers can add plugins and bug fixes to make the user experience deeper and more stable, but in general the 3.55 interface is something that all PS3 scene members have become accustomed to. However, if you're looking for something to give you a more official looking coat of paint, a 4.25 custom firmware is here to give you all of those OFW features with all of the CFW goodness. Because of the higher version number, for now you will have more or less free reign of the PSN as well as your homebrew on top of being able to boot a whole mess of new games. Although it should be noted however that recent reports do say that despite the fact that you can boot from any USB device, there are still some undocumented game compatibility issues.

So for a lot of you, the next question will be "how can I get it." Unfortunately the devs don't exactly make this an easy process. To begin, you'll have to head on over to their website which will then require you to send an email request for a firmware key to their admins. Once the key is entered you will then have to surrender your console's EID0 dump to them where a completely custom made PUP file will then be made to work exclusively on your system. I know, quite the hassle right? Still users have been reporting receiving their keys quite quickly, so you may not have to spend too much time waiting around if you're lucky. There are going to be lots of reports about this firmware so I will try to stay on top of things as much as I can. Until I hear more, you are welcome to click the link to get the process started and report back. The scene has just received quite the surprise!

Don't do it its a big load of crap and you might get stuck on their CFW. Wait till a well know scene member releases something as deank said he's not trying it

# Avoid like the plague! — Crsah 2012-10-22 19:03

Everything I have red thus far points to staying away from this like the plague. Yes, it does work (verified already). Comments from a few devs:

From cfwprpht: Lv0 is resigned and the most of you know what that means. But anyway something good, they don't have 4.00-4.11 priv key. They still use 3.55 but first we need lv0 static key or we find a other way.

From keytor69: CDKey app does perform a check online at 67.198.173.122.CUSTOMER.KRYPT.COM port 8090, notice the word CUSTOMER and not USER.. won't be long before everybody needs 4.30 CD Keys and then get to see the real cost of things.

From PS3Nor on this 'bad joke' dubbed BlueDisk: please send me your Eid0 key.. LOL: we will drm your console and then charge you mega bucks. ok sounds great LOL #nochance

From Flat_z: guys, stop buying a stupid key you don't need it really

And last but not least:

From deank: I'm not touching this firmware even remotely.

Apparently it is a multi-stage thing. After you send them your dump, there is also some sort of CDKey like verification. This key is tied to your console and can only be activated once supposedly. There is speculation that once you are using this, there might not be a way to go back and they will start charging for future updates. There is much more info than I can fit in here. I have put up the news I have been able to find in a pastebin.

so this is useless for those of that have ps3s that were higher than 3.55 from the factory

Already exposed to be a future con. Take this down for the sake of people who would not know what they are getting into by installing this potentially rogue CFW!

# Funny how 4.30 is near in 1 or 2 days. — The More You Know -_ 2012-10-23 04:00

It's funny how 4.30 is going to be released in a day or two. Don't trust these guys giving you the custom PUP for 4.25 no one knows how "safe" this is.

# bleudisk — leipe 2012-10-23 13:05

bleudisk hahahaha rodgero has his own cfw and no cdkey is needed so fuck bleudisk they steeling our stuff

# RE: Bluedisk-CFW 4.25 Is Here (and Works!) — Jsin 2012-10-23 18:03

I wouldn't try this, Rogero is doing the same thing without a CDKEY and i'm sure others will soon follow Kmeaw Kakarato etc... I'm gonna stick with my kmeaw 3.55 CFW until i see a CFW working from i name i trust :)

# RE: Bluedisk-CFW 4.25 Is Here (and Works!) — BlackoutWorm 2012-10-23 22:26

I'm not born yesterday. This is an obvious scam. These devs obviously work for Sony, and now they use this cfw to collect people's data.
Have you actually looked into this firmware? And what makes you think it won't make your ps3 go black in a few weeks and then have you banned from Sony's list?
With all that email and key bullshit, that should be pretty obvious.

# bluedisk — Jsin 2012-10-24 02:36

I wouldn't trust this especially with the progress Rogero is making and i'm sure we'll see others like kakarato and Kmeaw with their own versions of CFW soon to follow Rogero's. I'm sticking with Kmeaw CFW 3.55 until i see a trusted name in the scene with a working brick proof firmware and not this BS where they want you to email them info from your PS3 for a CDKEY for a firmware they will eventually try to charge money for once they get enough people to install it

# RE: Bluedisk-CFW 4.25 Is Here (and Works!) — binkie8 2012-10-29 03:56

CFW website appears to be down again they have million,s of email,s and now they are gone
