(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); [2/19/2016 11:39:34 PM] youwillneverknowof: I switched from CEX to DEX Rebug 4.75.3 CFW, Ps3 restarted and telling me that the software is corrupted and needs to be updated to 2.16 or later
[2/19/2016 11:40:08 PM] youwillneverknowof: My ps3 says "The System sofware cannot be run correctly. Press the PS button to try to restart the system. If the system cannot be restarted, you must reinstall the system software. Connect store media that contains update data of version 2.16 or later, and then press the start
[2/19/2016 11:40:49 PM] youwillneverknowof: So I put software 2.16 in the ps3>update folder then I press select and start to update it and says the data is corrupted


Instead of 4.45 it says 2.16 or later on boot, 2.50 or later on safe mode, tried both but says corrupted data
