so this is what exactlty the screen says:
The system software cannot be run correctly. Press the PS button to try to restart the system.
If the sytem cannot be restarted, you must reinstall the system software.
Connect storage media that contain update data of version 4.80 or later and then press START AND SELECT buttons at the same time.
For information on how to obtain update data, refer to the SCE website for your region.
i have tried switching the controller between ports, and the usb memory, with no succes. restarted the ps3 acouple of times. and tried the same process with no success.the memoru stick has been formatted twice fat 32. folders created starting with PS3Ffolder, then UPDATEfolder, then renamed file from Rogero_CEX4.55_V1.00.PUP, To PS3UPDAT.PUP. and then inserted to both usbs with no luck....
