i was updating to the newest update and when it went to install it is there a way to get it to stop trying to install or reformat it for my ps3 again

I looks like you get this error due to a hardware fault, most common is the BR drive. Anyhow there is a great forum on Llamma’s site and a couple of fixes are floating around on youtube give it a try and see what you come up with. Good Luck

Mine 3.55 has that error but that thing that hold the ribbon cable contacts and it dont holds with tape :D any helps i will host all cod CLs if u give me a usefull help :D

Im having the same problem…as soon as my ps3 turns on it goes stright to a system update but every time at 43% it errors out every time…I cant even get into it to go to the settings any ideas???

Do the update manually and here is how you do it.

  1. Find a usb drive that is larger than 168 MB and format that drive to FAT32.
  2. A computer.
  3. Download the newest firmware from the computer (2).
  4. Go inside the usb drive and make a new folder which you call PS3, and under that you make another which you name UPDATE. Under that folder is where you keep the firmware (3).
  5. Plug the usb drive into the ps3 and power it.
  6. In the XMB go to Settings —> System Update —> Update via Storage Media. Source(s): PS3 Firmware http://j.mp/9uWzDs Partition Wizard Home Edition http://adf.ly/7JCH PS3 Manual - Update using a PC http://adf.ly/7JD5 XMB http://adf.ly/7JCj
