Post: CFW won't install on my PS3, WTF?
05-03-2016, 12:38 AM #1
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I ordered a 160gb PS3 on 3.55 and it finally got delivered today, I tried to install Kmeaw's CFW on it. But as luck might have it, nothing worked and I keep getting error 80029C55 whenever I try to update it via USB. Does anyone know why this is happening? And for the record, I tried installing it via recovery as well but it can't even find update when I tried installing it that way. Is there anything I could do to fix this? On my USB it's PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP, so I don't know why it won't work!

I recommend to cut the shit and install rebug dex as most people entering the cfw scene start out on a cex cfw then later on go to make the switch sooner or later because there's better support and more options on dex.
Besides rebug is very popular to and has alot of support for it. And as for your cfw not installing you could have possibly just gotten a bad corrupted file make sure as well your usb is formated the fat32 like wise also make sure the update directy is all correct

Even though I'm on 3.55 ofw, I can install rebug dex 4.78 right away? The only reason I was gonna install kmeaw was because I thought I needed a cfw to install another one, I was planning on going straight to dex after that but I'm a noob. Can you tell me exactly what I should do to install rebug's latest dex cfw?

Well you can't install a DEX CFW from CEX. You have to convert to DEX first.

So if I try to install rebug rex cfw 4.78.2 (the cex equivalent) would that work then? I'm just skeptical because I would think kmeaw would've installed no problem

Well the file could have been corrupted. Could of not downloaded completely, USB wasn't ejected safely, or it just had a problem reading it. Which is why you always try in Safe Mode as well :p

But it read the CFW, meaning it would have updated. Anyways, yes REX you can still as that's for CEX.

Okay so this is weird. I tried to install 4.78 rebug but that didn't work, but I tried installing 3.55 rebug and that worked fine. And doing that somehow got 4.78 to work lol, just got done updating. I'm gonna convert to dex now

Well, keep us updated on how the conversion process goes. Should be particularly easy with rebug toolbox and IDPSSet.
