Has anyone had any problems with a system update loop where the system trys to update and gets to a certain point and cannot continue. I cant get into safe mode to try and update from a flashdrive. I have tried to unplug the system and still nothing. If anyone has an suggestions feel free to let me know....Im to the point now where im going to put a new hard drive in my ps3.

What percent does it get stuck at?

It gets stuck at 47%

Is there anything on your PS3 that doesnt work like bluetooth, wifi, or the BD drive?

Try rogero's firmware as it has nobd bypass so you can see if its the bluray

everything worked just fine before this system update loop. atm there is no way to change the firmware on the ps3, I cant do anything If I start up the system the only thing that comes up is the system update and and it goes up to 47% and then stops. the only thing i can do is shut it off and turn it back on and it does the same thing. I cant get into safe mode or to the xmb so when my new hard drive arrives in the mail I will see if that takes care of the problem....Thanks

40%-65% Cause: This is when the console checks and sometimes updates the WIFI or Bluetooth module. Fixes: First if the console has been reflowed recently or someone has been inside the console double check that both the antenna and ribbon cable are securely plugged in or if they are damaged. If not try swapping the wifi module or antenna for known working ones if you have any spare, or check for and replace any missing components. In rare cases it maybe a trace or component on the main board itself. In the majority of cases simply replacing the wifi board will fix this problem. The 8 pin EEPROM on the wifi controller board contains mac address, bluetooth and USB info which you may wish to take into account when swapping boards; however the console will work fine by swapping boards as it is not tied to the console unlike the logic board.
