(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); i just got a 250gb hard drive and i put it in my ps3 THAT HAS 3.55 FIRMWARE BUT NO BLURAY SO I GOT A 3.55 FIRMWARE SO THAT IT WOULD DOWNLOAD BUT IT DOES NOT SO COULD SOMEONE SEND ME OR LINK ME TO A 3.55 CFW THAT WILL DOWNLOAD WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE A BLURAY please help

i am a bit confused on what you are asking, to install a cfw you can do it via usb with the update on the usb you just goto system update.
if you want here is a link to a cfw You must login or register to view this content.

i dont have a blu ray player so if i try to update with a regular cfw it goes into a loop so i need a BDB firmware i think i really dont know though

yes i just looked into it and i think you might be outa luck sorry bud. but from what i heard theres absolutly no way to update without the bluray. if you find anything that works let me know!?

You need to use a CFW with the Blu ray drive bypass
