(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hey guys, I have recently bricked up my console and had to reflash it! After my friend flashed it he installed 3.55 spoofed to 4.25 and now I get this ERROR (8002F969).
The console bricked up when I converted it to DEX and I believe it's on DEX but I have no idea what to do please help?

Can you access the recovery menu for PS3?

Yes I am at the recovery menu!
But when I am at the recovery menu and try to update there the ps3 cant find any firmware.

Try to rebuild the database, select that option...

I just did that and I got the same error

Have you tried a downgrader? You should always be able to install it, no matter what, if the ps3 is still jailbroken..As long as you didn't update it to OFW, im sure it's fine.

1. Download and install You must login or register to view this content.
2. Rename the downgrader file to "PS3UPDAT.PUP" (no quotes)
3. On a fat32 formatted usb flash drive, create a folder name "PS3"
4. Inside the "PS3" folder, create a folder named "UPDATE"
5. Inside the "UPDATE" folder, place the PS3UPDAT.PUP

verify your folder structure is :
fat32formattedusbflashdrive/PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP


6. Put the usb flash drive into the furthest right most port of the ps3.
7. Boot the ps3 into recovery
8. Select option "update system"
9. Follow prompt

If it doesn't work the first time, give it a few more tries and keep checking over everything. Sometimes usb flash drives can be a little pain and not read if not inserted correctly, etc. Happens to me all the time.


Might start there and if you need help just ask and we can tell you where to go from there.

I still get the same error, should I try from the recovery menu?

Just restore the PS3 and update to 3.55 CFW whenever you get to that stage in setting it up

It worked! Now what do I do from here?
