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

Here are the links for the read me files for each version. Each read me is also included inside each download:
I have tested all CFW versions and am certain there will be no problems but as always with CFW you install at your own risk.
When I have more time I will update toolbox and spoofers for overflow CFW and I have a couple of new things planned, will get to that when I can find the time, as always thank you to the people who support the overflow brand.
If you just want to spoof your FW version have a look out for ZoFmodz, he has been releasing spoofers since 4.55 and has consistently been the first person to release. He stopped releasing a few fw versions ago due to people taking his work but I have persuaded him to release again. So if you don't want to update CFW and just want to spoof check him out.

- Standard = a normal version of CFW
- Cobra = a CFW that runs the Cobra payload
- No BD = can be installed onto a PS3 with no Blu-ray drive and still functions as normal (minus discs)
- No BT = can be installed onto a PS3 with broken Bluetooth/Wifi module (bypasses install of Bluetooth FW)
I have tested all CFW versions and am certain there will be no problems but as always with CFW you install at your own risk.
When I have more time I will update toolbox and spoofers for overflow CFW and I have a couple of new things planned, will get to that when I can find the time, as always thank you to the people who support the overflow brand.
If you just want to spoof your FW version have a look out for ZoFmodz, he has been releasing spoofers since 4.55 and has consistently been the first person to release.

- Made out from OFW 4.84.
- Patched isoldr and spu_pkg_rvk_verifier to disable ecdsa protections allowing to install CFW 4.84 and above over it.
- Core OS patched files have the exact same size than the OFW.
- Core OS file table is exactly the same than the OFW.
- PUP size is exactly the same than the OFW.
Tested on both NAND (CECHC04) and NOR (CECH-2004B).
Enjoy
