(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alright, trying to install update 3.61 and it keeps failing @ 87% I did just reflow my ps3, as it was YLOD a day before.
I can't get the recovery menu with the native HDD installed. I'll get the double beep, but then the system update starts
I put a clean drive in the bay, it doesn't format, just sits for a moment, then turns off. Same thing if there is no drive. I can access the recovery menu with this drive though. None of the options actually do anything. It won't start fresh install or check for corrupt files.
If I do the option for install USB on this fresh drive, it says press start+select to begin. I have tried with 3.61 and 3.60, and I don't think the PS3 is even trying. There is an indicator light on the usb device when it's engaged and it doesn't blink when it says "checking...please wait". Of course, nothing does happen no matter how long you wait.

Hate to say it bro but I think your system has had it :confused:

It sounds like your not doing it right tbh
on your usb make a folder called

PS3
inside that make one called UPDATE put your ps3updat.pup inside the update folder
THEN UPDATE

Your ps3 could be dying :lol:

This happened to a ps3 I reflowed.... Its prob dead sorry bro

Moved to Playstation 3 questions.

R.I.P for it !

yes i have the update file in the ps3 folder on the root of my flash drive i know its not that if it is gone for good thats not a problem i have a slim that works fine with cfw and all that good stuff i was just trying to get this one to work to have an extra system since its just been sitting around collecting dust thanks guys for the replys

All I Have To Say Is R.I.P To Your PS3!! :(
