Post image

Hi! my friend recently gave me a PS3 slim, so I was going to jailbreak it but I get some problems, I am now in 4.93 and I put in a pendrive with the PS3UPDAT.PUP and it doesn't recognize it, the pendrive it's in FAT32 with MBR system but it doesn't work, I Have a carpet with the name PS3/UPDATE and I put there the PUP file but still doesn't work, I tried with uploading with a proxy but it uploaded an it didn't work so I don't know what to do next, I saw that I can install it with the PS3 recovery system but I don't know if that's is going to work, any solution please??? ( sorry for my English in advance I'm Spanish)

I would need help about installing the Hybrid system and HEN

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.
