UPDATE (folder)
UPDAT.PUP (firmware)

Text Tutorial

  1. Download the 3.66 Firmware You must login or register to view this content..
  2. Create a folder named “PS3” on the storage media or USB device. Within the PS3 folder, create a folder named "UPDATE".
  3. Save the downloaded firmware in step 1 in the "UPDATE" folder.
  4. Be sure to save the update the exact way I told you. If the data is not saved in the correct way, the PS3™ system will not recognize the update data. The folder name must be in all uppercase letters.
  5. Do not turn off the PS3™ system or remove the storage media or USB device during an update. If an update is cancelled before completion, the system software may become damaged, and the system may require servicing or exchange.
  6. Insert the storage media or USB device that contains the update data in the PS3 system.
  7. From the home menu, select (Settings) > (System Update), and then press the X button.
  8. Select [Update via Storage Media], and then press the X button.
  9. The system automatically searches for and finds the update data saved on the storage media or USB device. Start the update.
  10. Press the X button to start the update. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the update.
  11. After the update has been completed, go to (Settings) > (System Settings) > [System Information].
  12. If the [System Software] field displays the version number of the update, the update was successful.
