(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:

I might do that, just to prove you wrong.. Smile
I'll use my older JB, which is screwed anyway.. :p
& according to you, since the bluray is busted, it'll error on install & recovery mode won't work ?
i gotta see that Happy

Well first you must have bad Firmware UPDATE to do this , make sure you ready to update latest firmware and when about to install the firmware on the progress bar, when it reach 50% quikly turn off the Power from PS3. That means Your PS3 is nowBricked.

Once you turn on your useless bricked PS3 again, it will go straight into install again and will likely get an error on 50% again. Turn off Useless PS3 again and turn on PS3 and see if you get into Recovery mode again. if it does then go SYSTEM UPDATE and it will crash on 50%.

To do that, I NOT RESPONSIABLE for it. Do it at your own risk

oh yeah almost forgot, make a video to show us
