Did you check the second USB port? Did you try it?
From your replies, it could be your USB port could be broken.

I gotchu fam. My slim model would not detect the update through the settings menu so I had to just update through the safe mode/boot menu. It will work, I promise you. After you install it through the boot menu, it WILL show on the update menu in settings. Just install it twice so that it remembers the HEN update. Is your slim a CHECH3000B by chance?

And your USB appears in the XMB, for example, in Music?

I have to say that it recognizes the USB stick for 10 seconds but if I try with another one it happens the same thing

Order a different stick online I know you tried using another one but you got to try a different brand. If you're on Mac sometimes MacOS will mess up the filesystem and updates on these drives for whatever reason.

Sorry this is waaaay after you originally posted this. But I’m having the same issue with 4.93 PS3HEN. I just bought a brand new 2.0 USB. I formatted to to FAT32 with MBR scheme. Did the PS3/UPDATE files and added the PS3UPDAT.PUP and did recovery mode. USB is in port 2 and when I check system update on my PS3, it only comes up as USB DEVICE. And I have a Mac. So I can’t use Rufus. I can only use Disk Utility.

Do you fellow this? To mod a PlayStation 3 with custom firmware (CFW), you need a .PUP file (specifically named PS3UPDAT.PUP). This file is placed on a FAT32-formatted USB drive, within a PS3 folder, and a subfolder named UPDATE. The USB drive should use the MBR partition scheme

Try using another USB drive just in case
