This was an emotional rollercoaster for me but it all worked. You are a LIFE SAVER!!!! Im definitely gonna recommend this to everyone dealing with the same issue! Thank you so so much!

This is the only walkthrough that worked to get my trusty PS3 back to working order. Nobody on the other walkthrough/tutorials talk about the hard drive formating, very thorough and very easy to follow. Thanks alot for doing this video dude 🙂 ***USB DRIVE*** *Incase this helps any one, i changed my usb to a 4gb usb drive instead of using my 16gb one, i know everyone says that under 32 gb is fine but i struggled with a 16gb one for adding the firmware, try lower storage usb drive if you can't get the PS3 to read the drive - just what worked for me, good luck!

thanks man, you were amazing explaining, i got to play my games again!

Thank you. You are a legend. 👍😀❤️ Works and now have my ps3 up and running to show my son.

this video was perfect. thank you bro. ps love the way you say "update" lol

Thank you soo much! Followed every step and finally fixed my ps3!

this helped a bunch thanks

My PS3 Fat was bricked and I fixed it using 2 PS3s and I formatted the HDD using my PS3 Super Slim and reinstalled the firmware on the PS3 Super Slim and then I put the HDD back into my PS3 Fat. I did that same thing again on my PS3 Fat and then it was fixed!

Man I love you dude thank you so much 🙏

Yeah 🎉it worked out great 👍🏻. The you so much you are amazing really. The explanation step by step and everything you are amazing yo 🤗🥰🥳🥳

After the whole process, make sure to set your Auto Update to OFF. --> Go to SETTINGS --> Scroll Down To SYSTEM SETTINGS --> The very firs line will say "Automatic Update". Make sure it's set OFF. this will prevent any future updates that goes against your mods.

This method only erases all the data (including corrupt) from SSD, it should not have effected the disc reader. It seems like the technician might have switched the blue ray disc reader or the console entirely.

Hi, i was having same issue with a CECH-20001, most probably is the Bluray drive, you would need to replsce it

If you bricked your PS3 while jailbreaking*PS3HEN* like I did stupidly - READ THIS (to save some time) Don't worry about downloading the official update/install file from the Playstation website. You can use the HFW file you were already using for the jailbreak. Copy the (HFW) PS3 folder to your formatted PS3 hard drive. HD back into your PS3. Insert the USB Drive too. Turn it on and follow the install instructions. It will install a fresh version of the OS (with the specific HFW shiz in that install). Install it once again (as most jailbreak instructions advise to) via the USB install method. Then you are back to just before where you "may" have messed up. (then at least you don't have to then format the USB with the jailbreak install and then install that 2 times...)

To fix this problem, if you had a blackout during a PS3 update, you can fix it either by formatting your HDD with an adapter on your computer or you can try to format it with another PS3 and it will, tell you to reinstall the firmware like the other way in this reply but it will tell you to reinstall the firmware on your PS3 that is okay and then the bricked PS3, getting a new HDD or an SSD and if none of them work, then you can use an E3 Flasher if you dumped your NAND or NOR chip if you had a bad NAND or NOR chip. BTW, I think that the E3 Flasher will only work on the PS3 Fat (Phat) and the PS3 Slim if you have a PS3 Slim that is model CECH-25xxA or CECH-25xxB or lower because these are the only CFW compatible PS3s.

Thank so much, But in my case i needed to start in safe mode. For that you need to keep your finger on the power button of your turned off ps3, wait the third bip the remove your finger repeat a second time. Then just choose to do an update and are we go

Yes it should. Because if you had access to run Multi-Man or Web-Man that means your console was jailbroken with software older than 4.87 thus for when your console went through the latest update (4.87) it interfered and bricked the console.

@Funky production the main reason your PS3 cannot detect latest software is due to USB stick not being properly formatted to FAT32. Try these steps, 1.
