(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Alright, so I was trying to find an easier way of updating my fatty PS3 at a FW: of 2.52 to 3.15 rather than using the PS3 Proxy Method, as I researched around an such, I didn't really find much, so I went back to my PS3 and messed around with it a bit, then I remembered before a while back I had MW2 inserted into my PS3, when I clicked "Update via Storage Media" it was going to have me update to 3.01, so I decided "Why not try other games?" as I went through game-to-game, I finally found the right one, BFBC2(Battlefield Bad Company: 2) so I updated using that, and There We Go! I was updated to 3.15! So here is a simple Tutorial for those of you who are not too sure of what to do.



This Method Was Found By Me! (I Hope Hahaha)

Credit Goes To ME and ME Only!






PS3 System with a lower System FirmWare than 3.15
BFBC2(Battle Field Bad Company: 2) You could just borrow it from a friend or rent it.

.::TUTORIAL::.

Step 1: Insert BFBC2 into your PS3 System.

Step 2: Scroll over to "Settings" on the PS3 Start up Menu, and select "System Update"

Step 3: Select "Update via Storage Media" and you should get a screen asking to install the update Version: 3.15 from "Location: Disc", click "Yes" and let it download and install.


So there you go! wasn't that easier than using a proxy? although, if you do not own BFBC2, it's probably easier to use the proxy or USB method, Also you will NOT beable to sign in online, You would have to use a Proxy to do that, such as the "PS3 Proxy Server GUI" which you could download You must login or register to view this content. (Thanks to CF3B5 for creating the program!)

Also, for others who have a lower FW: than 3.01 and for some reason want FW Version: 3.01, follow the same instructions, but instead of using "Battlefield Bad Company: 2" use "Call of Duty Modern Warfare: 2"

+rep would be much appreciated for the work I put into this thread, but I'm not going to beg like most people. =D

You posted this in xbox, I said post it in playstation 3 exploits and hacks haha

Oh shit, oops I should look before I click.. Lol, Can someone move it please? Thank You!

ya but wont it say u dont need to update you already have fw version

I'm not sure I understand you? if you have a lower FW than 3.15 then this method will work, and if you already have FW: 3.15 then it will say you don't need to update.

Lol apart from the fact I told you to update using other storage media last night in the shoutbox

Yeah, by that you meant loading the 3.15 onto a thumbdrive and install it that way, didn't 'cha? :embarrassed:

mod remove this?

Now, why would a Moderator remove this?

this is helpful if someone doesn't want to download anything
