You talkin to me?
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay so I have this hard drive I got from an old ps3 slim 160 gb, and put it into my ps3 and once I power on my ps3 it comes up to a big ass paragraph saying something update to an update older then 4.41 and i'm wondering how can I bypass this?? I tried the secret menu restore etc and nothing works just tells me to get an update older then 4.41 but if it was like 4.31 or something they would let me update it without all of that. can anyone please help?

Did you format it before you installed it on your PS3?

You will have to connect it to your PC and format to fat32 and then reinstall it on your PS3 (correct me if I am wrong anyone) and the FW isn't stored on the HDD but on the FLASH, and if your PS3 isn't on 3.55 you will have to downgrade with a flasher if that's the case I have a downgrade service if you would like to take a look;You must login or register to view this content. or you can get the hardware and downgrade it; it will require disassembly of your PS3!

Climbing up the ladder
You don't have to format the HDD first. You just have to re-install whatever OFW/CFW you had on when you plug it in.

Seeing that it's asking you to install 4.41 or higher, this means your PS3 was already on OFW/CFW 4.41.

If you were on Rebug 4.41, re-install Rebug 4.41. If you were on OFW, re-install OFW 4.41.

Any OFW above 3.55 requires hardware downgrading before you can install CFW.
