(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So , it has been months since i booted up PS3 . i changed its HDD because it was lost ( cant remember which CFW it was on ) well . now every CFW ( even 3.55 ofw ) i try to install . ends up with The data is corrupted ( 8002F2C5 ) i tried downgraders . rebugs . and stuff . its not working at all . its not even going into FSM Mode .

i tried a non BD one . altho my BD is fine . it gave a 8002F2B5 . not C5

ok i tried rebug now . C5 still .it was fine . its this damn HDD ... maybe its the HDD ? idk . i mean the HDD works on PC etc .

It could very well be the hdd, but its hard to say for sure.


Your flash drive is formatted to fat32?

Flashdriveroot>PS3>UPDATE>PS3UPDAT.PUP files like this correct?


flash drive in right side port?


just trying to rule things out.

Also you are cex or dex making sure you are trying right ones?

it just never recognizes it . it just says data is corrupted . and 8002F2C5 . when i formatted the HDD in PC . i tried a NO BD CFW . it said 8002F2B5 then the 800244f ( i forgot ) but when i formatted from PS3. it says 8002F2C5 on every CFW . except 1 cfw . it said a seriour error has occured . but not the RSOD screen . just that .but with the same error code 8002F2C5

thats the problem . i forgot if i am on CEX or DEX but i tried both . same errors . and yes .Flash drive FAT32 and on the right side and the the path is right . i installed over 30 CFWs back when my PS3 was working haha . i know how to install em

Try this for shits n giggles

i tried it before . but sure gonna try it again

Maybe ur cfw was DEX try installing 4.50 ita or 3.55 dex

That's really weird man..It would only not find the update for a few reasons..


1. Not the right region (cex or dex)
2. flash drive not formatted or incorrect port on ps3, or broken port?
3. File names incorrect or misplaced
4. not jailbroken?
5. corrupt files?

If you can format the hdd with the recovery menu (restore ps3 system), then the hdd should be fine (normally would not go through or error)
It's probably something stupid.
