Create a folder on the root(not already in any folders) of a usb and call it PS3.
Create a folder in the ps3 folder on the usb called UPDATE.
Then copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP into the update folder.
Then put the usb into your ps3, go to system update and update by device or whatever.
For example, I put the PS3UPDAT.PUP in the Folder F:/PS3/UPDATE/

UNTRUE MYTHS ABOUT THIS CFW
MYTH #1 This gets rid of my saves and game data!! Truth:This isn't true, it has save data utility and game data utility there in this new cfw download
MYTH #2 This will brick your PS3. Answer: no this will not brick your PS3, I have done it myself on two ps3s and it works fine.
MYTH #3 Sony can find people with this and ban them. Truth: No they can't, it runs exactly the same as official 3.55.
MYTH #4 You can't go online with this. Truth:You can go online, proof of this is the screenshot provided by xd366 as he's online with the custom firmware.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q:Whenever I put my usb with the firmware in it doesn't get recognised and says there is No applicable data found?
A: This means your doing something wrong, make sure the ps3 folder is on the root of your USB, for example mine was in F:/PS3/UPDATE if it was like that and doesn't work, then try a different usb device.
Also try this if all that doesn't work:
if your PS3 is still saying "no applicable update data was found" this is what to do,
1. Plug in your USB device with the update on it into a usb slot on the PS3.
2. Turn your PS3 off from the PS button
3. Hold the power button on the PS3 until the PS3 turns off again
4. Once the PS3 turns off again hold the power button until the ps3 beeps twice
5. Now a menu will come up, go to system update
6. Now just do what it tells you to do and it will install the update
Q: Can I host challenge lobbies on 3.55 or higher with this?
A: Not as of yet, you will only be able to do so once a FTP server program and backup manager is signed as official making it usable with CFW so you can put the patches and whatnot onto your PS3.
Q: When I try to run .pkgs, they don't work?
A: This is because they aren't signed as official.

I was the first person to compile the CFW for both 3.41 and 3.55 as no one could because no one had linux here, because he doesn't release full files so he can't break any laws, gave them download links for both still the first person to do so, answered 50 pages of questions, made the faq, vid etc in the first post.
Shouldn't you be somewhere else trying to act smart to whore attention and not help anybody?

Guys thanks so much to all of you. I have now installed the CFW 3.55. I can't wait until the homebrew applications get signed for this version.
To all of you new comers like me, please take the time to read all the posts, while it seems painful if you got here when the thread is on its 50 + X pages the reward at the end will be great.
Just a quick question, I'm a programmer (mostly Java) and I'm really interested in take a more proactive position in hacking the PS (and other consoles maybe) so what kind of knowledge do I need to get started and probably be useful at some point when we get to PS5; and where can I get the knowledge? I mean I know mostly internet, books and stuff but what do I need to look for? hope someone can give me some directions.
Thanks again
