(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well my problem is the following.

My ps3 blue-ray drive doesn't read disc so im going to be fixing it Friday.

But i had updated the game about 3 weeks ago to the new 3.50 patch Facepalm and the installation fails at 99% sic=nce the blueray drive is required to successfully update and i have to force shut down every time.

It's now stuck on trying to update my ps3 and failing when it reaches 99% every time i turned it on.

My questions is the following:

Is there anyway to force cancel the update since its technically still not finished installing on my ps3; so i can keep firmware 3.41 to JB.

Is they anyway to cancel the update or am i just :fuked: :in: :the: :ass:!!!

I tried booting in safe mode or so i think by holding down the power button down till it shuts down the first time and wait till the 3rd set of blinks after the 2nd time i turned it on, but it goes back to trying to install the update and failing.

Thanks.. :hug:

Are you in true recovery mode and it still asks to complete the update? Doesn't sound like the recovery menu to me.

1. Turn off Playstation®3.
2. Hold The power button down; The system will turn on and turn off once again.
3. Once the System has been shutdown, re-press you finger until you hear 2 consecutive beeps
4. When you hear the 2 beeps take finger off power button.
5. You will be promted to plug in your controller via usb and then hit the PS button
6. The Recovery menu will pop up.
