While trying to update the ps3 to v 2.50 I keep getting the message "error encountered" and some 800 code. It downloads to 70%, then displays the error code. When trying to update from usb port the error that is displayed says "corrupt data". I don't want to update but the playstation network requires it. Help
I am having the same issue as iafarmerken.. .PS3 error code 8002F997. I have tried to roll the settings back to default, tried to update with a thumbdrive (per Sony's instructions), and used a compact flash card to try to update. My PS3 stops the update process at 69-70% as well. Currently trying to use the format utility to reformat the hard drive :( Any other input or suggestions would be great

I found the problem. Just reading around on the net about this problem a few people suggested unplugging everything .....including PS3, modem, router, computer.....everything for about 15 min. I did this and plugged everything in and tried to update again and bam!!!!!! Problem solved. Why this helps?....I think it is a dns issue conflicting with the download that corrupts the data on the ps3 update as well as when I tried to do it on the USB flash drive. This may not work for everyone but it did for me. Thanks for all the help you guys give out.

Did you reset your PS3 by holding down the front power button for 10 seconds? That should make the Play Station revert back to the last settings/Os that worked.

Thanks guys, I got it fixed! I unplugged the power from the PS3 for at least 30 minutes, and to be safe i rebooted my router. I was then able to download and install the 2.5 update!
Hello!!
Ok, no matter how you try to install the firmware it will always write it to the hard drive first before install. Now if it gives you the 800 error while downloading it's your hard drive and it may need to be re-formatted or replaced. If you get an error during installation, then therewas a misplaced piece of code during the download and it needs to be downloaded again.
BTW, the power button default reset is ONLY for the Video output settings.

iTunes error 9006 may appear when attempting to download, restore, or update an iPhone or iPad. Typically you'll see an iTunes error message that states something like "There was a problem downloading software for the iPhone. An unknown error occurred (9006)." Try the following tips to resolve error 9006 in iTunes if you encounter the error problem when updating iOS system software.
Insure that you have an active network connection and are connected to the internet
Quit out of iTunes
Update iTunes and also install any available software updates to Mac OS (or Windows, if applicable)
If it was an error after the update was downloaded then the only thing I can think of is restoring the PS3 to factory settings and trying again.
Many times I got such an error it was because my connection was fickle, it would keep cutting out and not properly downloading the update and causing an error. In this case I would have to just keep restarting the update and hope it would finish.
Hope this helps.
i have this problem try doing this----- dowload the update on your USB flash drive from your computer and then plug in your USB flash drive into the ps3 the and it will automatically be installed onto uour ps3 SIMPLE!!!
You will need an extra 2.5" HDD. use a laptop HDD. So we all know with this error, it won't allow you to enter in the recovery menu because it would try to re-install the bad 2.8 update firmware again and again once it turned on. 1. So what I did was I swapped the laptop HDD into the PS3, it won't be able to read the HDD but it will allow you to enter the recovery menu now. (for those who do not know how to get into the recovery menu, here is the instruction http://boardsus.playstation.com/playstation/board/message?message .uid=39144801) 2. Once I'm in the recovery menu, I took out the laptop HDD and put back in the PS3 HDD. 3. I also downloaded the 3.01 firmware from the PS website and uploaded into my USB drive and put that in the PS3 slot. 4. At this point, you want to select "system update" and update to the 3.01 version.
For some reason, the first time doing this the system froze at 67% with a new error (but i didn't write down the code). So I had repeat step 1 and 2, but this time when I put back in the PS3 HDD I chose "restore file system" without having to do the system update again. Then it gave me another error at around 65% that said the disk is corrupted and tell me to press OK to format the disk. After it formatted, it automatically install the 3.01 version and the system is fixed.
This is a worldwide issue with the Sony Network today which might be due to system maintenance. Sony is working on the problem and the issue will be fixed soon.Your system should work normally when the issue is fixed.
I have to say I haven't had lot of joy downloading this particular update directly to PS3 either.
The alternative approach (which worked like a dream for me) is to use your pc to save the update onto a memry stick, then to plug that into one of the PS3's USB ports and do the update from there.
-Open the side of your PS3 where your HDD is. Take the screw out, but leave the HDD in. -When the
update begins, pull your HDD out of the slot. It will tell you an
error occured and it tells you to restart your system and try again.
Instead, let the count from 60 run out, your screen will go blank for
about 30 seconds then it will start back up and tell you that your
Hard Drive needs to be reformatted. If you do not get this msg after 30 seconds, do it again until it does! Now, slide your HDD into place
again - (make sure your controller is PLUGGED IN) and press the white PS3 button on the controller. It will then ask you to either press start and select at same time OR white PS3 Button - PRESS START and SELECT. Do not agree to user agreements!! Simply hit cancel and it will kick back to the PS3 start up screen.
