▌ Installation Guide
- Format a USB drive as FAT32 (the PS3 does not read exFAT or NTFS).
- On the drive, create a folder named PS3, and inside it a folder named UPDATE (all caps).
- Download the firmware you need and rename the file to exactly PS3UPDAT.PUP.
- Final path should be: USB:\PS3\UPDATE\PS3UPDAT.PUP
- Plug the USB into the PS3 (the right-most port on Fat models), then go to Settings → System Update → Update via Storage Media.
- Or boot into Recovery Mode: with the PS3 fully off, hold Power until you hear a double beep, connect the controller with a USB cable, press PS, and choose System Update.
Quote:⚠ Important Notes
- Do NOT install 3.56 build 1 or 3.41 build 1. These are known bad releases that can brick your PS3. They are listed for archival purposes only. Use build 2 of each instead.
- Official firmware cannot be downgraded. The system updater only installs a version equal to or higher than what is currently on your PS3.
- Custom firmware / HEN users: installing official firmware removes CFW / HEN. Make sure you know what your setup needs before updating.
- Never turn off the PS3 or unplug the USB drive during an update. An interrupted update can brick the system.
- These are retail (CEX) firmware files only. Disc-dump copies (padded to 256 MB) are not included.
- Always verify the MD5 hash after downloading to make sure the file is complete and unmodified.
