(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So hey there I lost my hdd for my ps3 cfw CECH 2003A Slim so today inserted a brand new hdd now I'm getting the system software cannot be correctly press the ps button to try and restart the system

if the system cannot be restarted you must reinstall system software.

Connect storage media that contains update data of version 2.70 or later and then press the start and select buttons at the same time

so I did this but everything I press start and select I get "checking please wait" then it says "ps3 cfw no applicabe update data was found"

I've put 3.55 on a fat32 usb

I hope someone can help me please I've been trying to fix this for over 6 hours

i have the same problem have you fixed this yet

having the same issue have you figured it out yet

Aye man you need to reinstall the same firmware that you had on before that should solve the issue for you like if you are on rebug 4.84 dex then you have to install rebug 4.84 dex usb PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP

what if i dont remember what fw i was on i try to install 4.78 i think this is what i was on but it says no applicable update data was found

possibly renamed incorrect PS3>UPDATE>PS3UPDAT.PUP also could still be wrong firmware which is important to have the same firmware

its named correct what do i do if i dont know the fw

Running Cex or Dex?
