How's it going guys. I'm new to the forum and jailbreaking PS3's in general, and have been trying to follow the tutorial here. Now I can tell a lot of you are bright guys with regards to this sort of thing so I apologise if I sound really dumb.

Basically I'm trying to install firmware 3.55 with no luck. (I'm currently 3.72). I do as told regarding this but no software is detected when I try to update via storage media on the xmb. So I attempted the system update via the recovery menu, and after a few seconds of scanning, I'm greeted with 'this software is corrupt'

Any advice guys?

Hi,

One last question. If I was to restore my PS3, would that reset the firmware back to whatever it was when I bought it?

I know its a long shot, and Sony are probably smarter than that, but it would help me if it did. I'm prepared to lose everything on the PS3 if it does.

Just found out the answer to my own question. Dammit!

download the update. then install it via pkg install files. then the fix that you will download will already be named eboot.bin just replace the files with the file manager. and the game will work. i think there are 2 files to replace for mortal kombat 9.
