REBUG REX 4.53 with Cobra has been leaked, and updated by Joonie
Yes, that’s right. The 99% complete Rebug 4.53 has been leaked by an anonymous user over on the PS3HAX forums. While this is sad that an unfinished CFW was leaked before an official release, some may see it as a good thing. The Rebug Team has always been known to fully test every feature in their custom firmwares and the fact that it was almost complete before they seemingly vanished almost a year ago does not say this leak is all bad in my opinion. In fact, it has been reported that the only thing left to fix before a release was using Cobra while in DEX mode. It will slow down your PS3 to the point that it freezes.
DISCLAIMER:
Keep in mind that this is an UNFINISHED custom firmware that is known to have a few issues. Neither I, nor Wololo.net are to be held responsible if you were to brick your PS3. It is HIGHLY recommended to only install this CFW if you have a hardware flasher. Also note that this WILL NOT install on your PS3 if you are on a custom firmware higher than 4.53. In such case you will need to use a downgrader pup to get to 3.55, and upgrade again. (I suggest Rebug’s 999 Downgrader)
Now that that’s over with, lets get to the good stuff 🙂

I am personally using this CFW on my CECH-2501B and have not encountered this DEX + Cobra bug. I really have not encountered a bug at all, but don’t take my word for it, and be sure to make a backup of your flash 😉
Last but not least, here’s the download and source

I don’t get one thing, will this work only if you have a cfw already installed, or there is a way to downgrade with 4.60 ofw installed?
any ofw higher than 3.55 cannot be downgraded without a hardware flasher.
^that
I have a CECH-3003A
Can anyone confirm whether it works or not?
Should I risk it for science?
Looks like I’m on 4.60.
Damn.
If its CFW 4.60 you could use REBUG’s 999 Downgrader or Rogero’s Downgrader RSOD to get back to CFW 3.55
Sry , just saw your PS3 Model, as far as i know you can’t get CFW on this Model.
Optical Disc Drive Emulator (ODDE) might be an option, but i don’t know much about that.
Please read this article:

When your model PS3 was shipped, it was on 3.60 This means that is the lowest firmware you can downgrade to, and since you need to be able to go to 3.55, there is unfortunately little hope for you getting CFW.
Is there a one-to-go guide for PS3 custom firmwares? All the information seems so scattered on the web. Just want to know if my console is customization and how to proceed with it.
This article will help you also 🙂

much appreciated
I actually helped test out a fully backwards compatible PS3 with this firmware and updated Joonie on a few things. To anyone who has a backwards compatible PS3 there are some things to know:
1. The previous 4.53.3 Rebug w/ Cobra (updated by Joonie) firmware had issues with fully BC PS3s. For some reason, PS2 ISOs and PS2 retail discs would not launch. After informing Joonie, we discovered that the ps2emu files from Rogero 4.46 Cobra would fix this issue (mostly), but resulted in a small bug. This bug was when you’d press the PS3 Button during a PS2 game, the menu that would pop up would be mostly black. I’m unsure whether or not he has included the Rogero files since yesterday, if he has, then disregard my saying this.
I have original Rebug 4.46.1, and I am waiting for more tests of the unofficial release.
