PS3 Hdd Replacement Issues: “no applicable update data was found” – Solution

Hey all, just been downgrading my PS3 (from a 500 to a 160 i’ll never use 500gb with my PS3) and came accross a few niggles with my specific version.

For some reason the PS3 wouldn’t recognize any of my flash drives (even if the update is in the right folder structure ‘PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP’).

So my solution is write it to a disk. No other way works for me.

Hope this helps
