Required

  1. Plug your flashdrive into your PC, make a folder on it called "UPDATE" (yes, in caps)
  2. If you have a custom firmware on your PS3 already, then put the offical Sony firmware update in the "UPDATE" folder, and then install it on your system
  3. If you do not have a custom firmware and are currently running retail (official) v3.55 firmware on your system, put the custom Geohot firmware in the "UPDATE" folder
  4. Navigate to "settings" on your PS3
  5. Navigate to "system update" and then use "update via storage media"
  6. Make sure your flashdrive is plugged into your PS3; then just install the custom firmware from your USB flashdrive


If you hear nine or more beeps, then your PS3 shuts itself off - it worked.

Go to You must login or register to view this content. and download and install it. Then open the file, hit extract and choose where to take it. Then theres another files inside to open with winrar. Extract that then you will have a folder with the update inside it :P Ill upload the update on its own for you.

Here is the file you need on it's own (So you don't need to extract it or download winrar) : You must login or register to view this content.
