PS3 connect storage media that contains update data

I don't have the ability to do that. I put in my blank thumb drive, use the backup utility and the PS3 says the backup is complete, I switched out the hard drives, plugged in the thumb drive with the backup on it, turned on the system and it just told me what I posted above. I turned the system on with the thumb drive plugged in first and I also first turned the system on and then plugged in the thumb drive. No difference. I also plugged in the thumb drive to my computer and made sure it's FAT32 and the back up files are in it which they are. Still won't work.

Well, you need update 4.80 on your usb.

You obviously have internet so I don't see how it's not possible?

You could even download it on a phone...

Put the update in a folder called UPDATE.



You can't exchange the harddrive without the latest firmware update.

I updated the system before I started this whole process. It does have version 4.80 on it. But I will try what you said. But why wont it even give the option to format the new hard drive?

I get the message: Connect storage media that contains update data of version 2.70 or later, and then press the START and SELECT buttons at the same time. For more information on how to obtain update data, refer to the SIE Web site for your region. Any clue on where I have to go or what I have to do next? I also went into the DEX/CEX Option of Rebug Toolbox and hit X on "Rewrite Target ID in Flash" just a heads up I figured I'd give you all you need to know. I am on:
Debug Toolbox-MULTI Version: 02.03.02
PS3 System: Firmware 4.84
IP address: 10.0.0.92
LV2 Kernel: CEX
Target Type: DEX COBRA: 8.1
LV2 Kernel is on CEX & Target Type is on DEX As you can see. I'm having a bit of an issue and am unsure as to what to do. I really want OFW back on my console because I put a lot of money into buying games off the store.
Don't want any of that being jeopardized or being banned basically, just want a fresh UPDATED system. No mods. Please someone help, as I don't know what or where to turn to.
Easy steps (preferably step-by-step) instructions would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

This update method can be used if your PS3 system is not connected to the Internet. Download the update file to your computer, and then save it on a USB storage device. Copy the saved file to the system storage of your PS3 system to update the system.

For the standard update procedure, follow the steps below. 

The following things are needed to perform the update:

  • PS3 system
  • Computer connected to the Internet
  • USB storage device, such as a USB flash drive

    *There must be approximately 320 MB of free space.

1. On the USB storage device, create folders for saving the update file.

Using a computer, create a folder named "PS3". Inside that folder, create another folder named "UPDATE".

Troubleshooting - No Applicable update data was found

Lots of guys tried all the possible ways that they could do and then they were sure that they had it saved correctly. Initially, they even saved PlayStation update system software [Latest PS3 firmware] to SD card and tried with adapter, then on DVD-R or DVD-RW, but still no luck. Then they swapped out an HDD from an old YOLD 40GB, still no luck, they played around with formatting and installing update system software for hours.

Then got referred from Sony PC support website and had an FAT CECH M03 YOLD (love to Sony) HDD which had a lot of data on it, so they were reluctant to put it in PS3 SLIM as it would instantly format it and probably gives another error message "Can't find HDD..." etc etc. Moreover, some of them are also tried with SAFE MODE. And at the end, it keeps getting no applicable data found and they seem to ask again "why my upgraded PlayStation 3 hard drive is still NOT working???"

It doesn't require that much of efforts to have new firmware PlayStation if this error can be solved by some easy steps. Learn how to get out of this error.

Fix No Applicable update data was found

Before starting one thing I want to describe to you that the newest sony software especially comes for PlayStation update or PSx firmware update is CASE sensetive. Sony PC support described that the update file should be put as it is at the exact folder in PS3 storage media.

To have Ps3 no applicable data found fix for hard drive upgrades software update - Follow the instruction;
  1. The USB drive must be formatted to FAT32 with default allocation unit.
  2. In the root directory of the drive you need to have a folder named "PS3"
    (upper-case only)
  3. In that "/PS3/" folder you need to have a sub-folder named "UPDATE"
    (upper-case again)
  4. In that "/PS3/UPDATE/" sub-folder you need a file named "PS3UPDAT.PUP"
    (upper-case yet again and see this name carefully, its UPDAT not UPDATE)
  5. So the local pathname for the update file on that drive must be:
    "/PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP"
