(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); UPDATE: Ok, so heres the solution (worked for me at least) simply put ps3 in recovery mode.
To do so...
1. Turn of ps3
2. Hold power button till ps3 turns on and then off again
3. Hold power button again untill it beeps 2 times consecutively (beep......beep....... beep beep) I know it sounds funny but this is going to be as user friendly as i can make it.
4. It will ask you to connect controller with usb
5. Go to the last option "System Update"
6. Follow on screen instuctions (it just tells you to press select and start at the same time)
7. You win!


Alright im going to start off by saying that this is NOT a dumb ass repost of the CFW but to help those who are (like me) in need of some assistance. So heres the problem I and many others are seeing. Currently on 3.55 offical firmware, have flashdrive with
PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.pup
It can't be found tho. Does anyone know why this is happening?

B. You downloaded the CFW
C. You copied to Usb-PS3-UPDATE
D. You renamed it to PS3UPDAT.pup
E. You inserted the USB stick into your PS3
F. You turned your PS3 on and went to System Update
G. You went to install from usb device
H. It installed
I. It turned on and you didn't have Install packages under the games menu


Or that you have a useless problem that isn't intresting at all?


Your right up to F but when i go to "Update via Storage Media" it says "No applicable update data was found"
and you don't have to be a d-bag about it.
