Dude, thank you for mentioning about pulling out the controller cable, that was genuinely preventing my PS3 from finding the USB stick.
thank you for putting this comment i also did it and now it is working
@@SnipingTigerIsTheBest Same for me. Removing the controller got the ball rolling! Thank you!
This is working for me!
fr that was it for me
thanks for mentioning about the controller cable
2 years later and this works, thank you so much
Thank you. I just updated to 4.9 and I had most steps right but your detail on the folders is what did it for me and got my ps3 working again. Thanks 🙏🏼.
All i need is a usb
After hours of messing around, it was this simple fix, I was using a 32GB USB adaptor with a micro sd card and it kept on asking for the update file, so I found a 2GB USB stick and the update worked first time, great video.
Glad I could help
Yeah my first jailbreak I thought I was smart had a micro sd card and adapter that was the issue 32gb flash stick no issues however I found a USB stick the size of mouse 2.4 dongle that supports a micro SC card. That has been working perfectly since I have about a dozen 512 to 1 tb works great formatted to ntfs exfat for installing ps3 games without needing to split the files due to fat 32. Also worked great for installing cfw and backups from old hdd to new ssd . Am..son where I found the usb to micro sd card.
I have been trying different channels on RUclips and still had the same error. The most satisfying feeling is when you follow a tutorial once and your system is back to it's original self. You have covered all the information that I needed from not using a Flash drive bigger than 32GB to removing the controller from the system at the correct time. I thank you SIr
"unplug the controller so it only reads the USB device"
you sir are a hero, thank you
On god it just worked for me
Omg man I saw your comment and you saved me. I've been stuck on this forever
Worked for me thanks
I used this method on a Slim model 3001a. I used a 256gb memory stick in fat32 format to install a SSD to cut down on overall heat. Unplugging the controller was what made it work for me. Thanks for the video!
Did it still take a long time on the "Checking... Please Wait" screen?
It took about 10 to 15 seconds.
was pulling my hair out for hours dealing with this error, turns out i just needed to pull out the USB cable... thank you so much for your help!
Man, great video you're the only one who mentioned pulling out the controller and it worked!
Thanks !
This tip helped tons, wouldn't be the first thing coming to my mind that the damm thing was getting confused lol.
That said, when I was the process, the fucker said the data was corrupted, had to format again, thankfully worked after, was kinda nervous that the port connection was fucked up something that I wouldn't be able to fix...
Yeah unplugging the controller fixed it for me too
Awesome tip! Pulling the cable helped immediately... somehow the console seems to be confused with more than one usb device.
100% agree! Pulling the cable helped me too! Thank you!
for me is still not working i am using a 8GB usb ps3 super slim and the update downloaded is the 4.88
@@MessingWithCodeplaystation won't do anything other than 4.89 or 4.90
YOU deserve more than 106 subs this was very helpful i just put an ssd in my ps3 much love thanks
I'm facing this problem, it will help Lola
Thank you bro, that was very helpful. I tried hardly but ps3 wasn’t reading the usb drive, I did not know about the formatting process. Good work 👍
Glad to hear it
Youre a life saver bro. My slim PS3 had a failing HDD. Fifa 14 kept freezing and even GTA 4. So i followed your steps carefully. And now ive got a fresh new 500gb HDD with the latest 4.91 firmware. Thanks again man.
Hello brother 👋
How many gig is the usb you used
Bro a 500 gb man you must have a crazy game collection it’s nice to see other people have a ps3 still
this was really the best video I found on the topic, nothing was working with my other usb so I bought a new hard drive and new 1gb usb on amazon, removed controller cable and the update worked!! thanks so much man I was worried I bought a bricked ps3 now I can finally play skate 3 again lets gooooo
Thanks for this! I watched a video about upgrading my hard drive to a new 1TB and it left out this information. So after the old data was backed up, and the new hard drive was installed I was stuck. This is exactly what I needed to get the new hard drive running.
Glad I could help!
Forgot to backup old data…oh well I’m on 80%
It worked fixed my system corruption loop on my ps3 and upgraded to a different SATA hard drive from 160GB > 1TB then I couldn’t transfer the data from the fucked up HDD so I had to use the computer to do these steps and it worked now the PS3 works quicker, no more crashes or strange audio bugs finally can get CFW next and optimise the console properly. But I am also happy to play GTA IV again that was my main motivator. Thank you mate you’ve fixed my console from miles away across the world.
If I wasn't having problems with this error and with the help of this video solved it... I wouldn't have believed the solution in my head, I'll be saying the solution here is not logical and it's something else. Thank you got my PlayStation back and I just subscribed.
Thank you so much!!! I was doing everything correctly and the console could not recognize the usb drive update. I tried formatting again and again, no luck. Finally unplugging the controller as soon as I press start/select worked!!!
Was this on 4.89 ???
@@thirtypackz1672 yes! 4.89
I been trying to do this for my super slim , are u getting the update from google chrome?
The same for 4.90?
I accidentally bricked the PS3 my girlfriend bought for me. I was so devastated and sad. But this video came in a clutch and I was able to recover both the device and all the data thankfully!!! Thank you so much. Much appreciate. Pulling out the controller cable did the trick.
this actually helped, i didnt know why it wasnt working, but i was using a 64gb usb, i found a 16gb and it worked, thank you so much
This is by far the best video for this problem. Thank you so much for solving it!
Thank you man this was driving me crazy, the unplugging the controller worked for me
Thank you sooooooo much. This solution also works for PS3 Slim ending in CECH-2101A. I was finally able to upgrade from a hdd to a SSD. Thank you again.
How ?
Thank you so much man!! Was trying to install Evilnat 4.89.3 today, and unplugging the controller did the trick, now it successfully installed on my ps3 slim with a brand new ssd, thanks a lot!!!!
the controler tip was amazing, thank you so much man.
one of the few times a video is actually useful and works
Right on! Had this same issue on my bros ps3 installed cfw decided later to upgrade to 1tb sata. While upgraded mine to 1tb sata then done cfw. I have noticed on my cfw if controller is plugged in xmb wigs out. I tried this unplugging and it reformatted new sata drive and updated back to cfw! Awesome video thank you!
This really helped , you are a beast.
Tip
I did this with two usb as soon as i removed controller cable i put the second usb in and it did the trick.
Were they both under 32gb?
Thanks brother, I unplugged the controller when the console was scanning for the update file on the usb drive and it worked
I used a large USB stick like 256GB and it worked. MUST unplug the usb cable connecting the joystick while it is checking the update file. Thanks for the post
Bro thank you so much. I have been pulling my hair out because I didn’t realize I had to have a update and ps3 folder before installing the software!
Great video BUT, you CAN use a drive thats over 32 gb you just have to make a partition that's 32 gigabytes formatted to FAT32 and no other partition. Im using a supper old 100 gb Maxtor drive so your mileage may vary, still worth a try
How do I format the 32 of my 128gb hard drive?
@@420_Marley are you on a Mac or PC?
Laptop
@@420_Marley 😅 I need to specify know if it is a Apple laptop, windows laptop, or a Chromebook laptop because the process is different on each lol
Thanks a lot! It worked for me!
This video saved me after a hard drive upgrade. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. I've just upgraded a 360gb PS3 Slim and put in a 1TB HDD, ready for jailbreaking. This sorted my problem of the console not reading my USB thumb drive.
that mean, the only solution is to upgrade the PlayStation 3 space, right? Because I tried all the methods and was unable to install the new update
Thank you so much for this. My bro gave me a PS3 ages ago after he got a Series X, and after maxing out my capacity for SSDs on my PC recently 'cause of Prime Day--I figured I'd re-use a spare 850 Evo 500GB laying around instead of just letting it collect dust. I know there's a debate over whether there's any benefits of an SSD on a PS3, because of SATA I...but it has to be better in some way than the 10+ years old HDD that was in it. So I had to do a re-install. xD
what i had to find out: DONT FORGET TO SET THE PARTITION TABLE TO "MBR" (instead of GPT) you can google how to do that or just rightklick "this pc", manage, drive management, format the whole drive, then you can rightklick on it and say "convert to MBR" or just use "ease us partition magic"
Thanks a million, your tip helped me, I almost gave up after watching other videos as nothing I previously watched helped.
Well done!
Thank you for all the detailed info!
Worked perfectly for me!
Thanks buddy!
Disconnecting the controller really did the trick. ;)
Thank yo uso much for the info! I was stuck on no applicable data found and after removing the cable for the controller it worked, then again when asked to hold for 5 seconds, I also had to remove the usb cable!
Thank you ^^ your video helped me alot ^^ unplugging the controller worked :) before I saw your video I let the controller plugged and gived me the error "No Applicable Update Data Was Found" now it works thank you very much :)
Fixed my black screen of death
Bless you ❤️
Thank you, my friend. The trick to removing the controller cable is very excellent ❤
Unplugging the controller doesn't work for me. The flash drive is formatted correctly. The folder path is correct. The PS3 still won't detect the software file. I'm beyond frustrated.
Same for me
EDIT, 1 month later: I have done the reinstallation once again and now my PS3 is finally working and actually detected my USB drive
Same
@@S1_2025-YT Did you do anything different?
@@Penance2277 try another flash drive that ps3 can read example like san disk
If I could send you the pictures and videos to show you what I was going through I had my USB stick the whole time it had the update on it I did everything you said to do and now my system updated thanks a lot 🙏🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Thank You so much bro!!!! You just save My PS3 , it works perfectly I had the problem downloading the update and I can do it from Firefox and follow all the other steps!!! Thanks a Lot really
Glad I could help
you are my hero thank you so much its finally working again i am a collector my ps3 suddenly died and bought a new one and it said exactly the same thing after i put the motherboard and hard drive in my old console finally its working again
Thank you. Very helpful, I bought a PS3 that wouldn't update automatically.
When I put all the files for the 4.90 update correctly, it doesn't show 2 folders with a file in it. All it shows me are blank folders. I did all the steps the right way, but nothing worked. 4:20 it. doesn't give me that folder icon. And my usb stick is 64gb formatted to 32fat. It doesn't see it. exFAT and NTFS DON'T work for me at all. When I eject the file into the usb, into the ps3, it doesn't recognize it, even when I unplug the controller. Still nothing shows up. Please help
اليس من المفترض بالاصل سعته 32? اعد التجربه بسعة 32 وسوف يعمل بشكل صحيح
Trying upgrade HD and thought I screwed the pooch. You helped me save the old girl. Thanks.
thanks for mention cutting the file and disconnecting the controller finally got it to work
Yo thank you for this. My issue was definitely having the remote connected via usb while it was reading the media.
it works. i formatted my usb stick to msdosfat, master boot record. then i held power button for 3 beeps, then 2 beeps and 2 consecutive beeps, put in the stick, pressed option 5 to format the ssd, pressed start and select and then it checked and automatically started the update, i didn't have to press start and select for 5 secs. P.S --- WPA KEY MEANS WIFI PASSWORD AND MAKE SURE TO ACTIVATE YOUR PS3 AT ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
Did your PlayStation format or not
this video saved my ps3 lol i actually managed to reset it due to this video
Thanks man helped me out i had thought i bricked my ps3 lol.
Thank you, would have never thought to download the file from a different browser source
Thank you man! You are the best! Working!
bro i am very happy to your work work properly i face this problem drom 2 months thanks a lot
Thanks! Two days of trying to install the system and all I had to do was pulling out the controller cable during the update and everything worked great! Great video!
Wish that was the case for me:/ You downloaded the 4.89 file right? because your comment is recent, I need to know because I feel like the link from sony is broken but idk for sure.
@@joel3683 Yes. the version was 4.89. I bought a PS3 Slim last week and it had a bad hard drive. I changed the HD, and it showed a message asking to update to version 4.89 or higher by storage media. I downloaded the firmware from the Sony website and the message appeared, like in this video (No Applicable Update Data Was Found). I tried several flash drives and the PS3 did not recognize the data. Following exactly the video, I removed the control cable and immediately the update was recognized. For me, version 4.89 from Sony's website worked perfectly. Now my PS3 is working very well. Try another flash drive. Good luck.
Dude same. I dug out my PS3 after i bought a new house and been fighting to upgrade it for an SSD. Who knew this annoying glitch existed lol
@@rotor13 yeah and after 2 weeks of trying and trying, it hasn't worked out, Even PlayStation support which I was on help with for 10 hours gave up on this.
@@dghummel1956 never even got the notification to see this reply, but thanks. I guess I'll try another flash drive but I'm considering trying a different SSD. As you can probably tell, nothing has worked.
can you help me its no working on 4.90fw
bro idk how but yesterday it was showing me this error and today it came back to life without me doing anything 🎉🎉 christmas miracle
It was very good, thank you, my dear friend, I did not find such tutorials in Google, only in this movie ♥ بود
I’m gland it helped 😀
still doesn't work for me I've been trying to solve this for 3 days
thx a lot !!!!!!!!!
i used a 256gb usb stick. didn't understand why it didn't work :p (hopefully,i keep one of my old school 16gb usb stick ^^' )
legend mate,,, 2 counts!!!! 1 being use anything other than google chrome to download , and 2 the usb wire i was using was a powered green light 1 and my god what a headache until i pulled it out at the start select stage... so can confirm that a normal usb would be better. thanks
DUDE YOU ARE FKN INSANE!!! unplugging the controller did it for me!!! THANKS YOU SOO MUCH!!
It Sure helped me out, from start to finish
THANK YOU 😭!!! I've been at it for hours
Hello, this happened to me all of a sudden and version 4.90 wants to be updated. Now if this problem is solved, won't the games in the device be deleted?
thank you for the info and insights, would have never guessed some stuff
Thank you for making this video and explaining everything so well. 🎭
Thank you, so much no ther vidego go over this, i had to keep unplugging my controler for it to work
Thanks - the controller pull out technique worked for me! Thank you
I need help I I reseted my PS4 HDD took it out of the PS4 then I put it in the ps3 and I got the 4.88 update on a different website because it didn't let me get it on the PlayStation website and it didn't work is my PS3 ruined or I can still fix it?
For the ones looking, this issue could also be due to the USB stick not being formatted as MBR-For example, the ones formatted with the Mac Disk Utility.
As a solution, format your USB stick as MBR and you'll fix the issue. (You can look up how to do it from Mac via Terminal).
Hello I have tried that but I don't see a Mbr option?
It's not an option you "see", you gotta do it using Terminal.
For example:
diskutil partitionDisk [disk] MBR fat32 "NO NAME" 100%
@@stefanoromanelli I don't understand what you mean by Terminal? Sorry I'm not familiar with that term. Is this something you write in the USB drive or rename it?
Terminal is Mac's command line interface app. If you're not ramiar with it, I'm afraid there's little I can do with a RUclips comment... You will need to do some research on your own.
Thank you so much for this guide. Helped me LOADS today!
No problem! Enjoy!
great video. Was about to give up and only when i unplugged the USB for the controller did it proceed and load the firmware. KUDOS TO YOU
Havent used my ps3 since 2014, finally sorted it out, how long is it suppost to update for, its been on for about 30 mins now and my tv has no signal on but ps3 is on???
Genius, thanks! Can’t Believe it worked lol.
Get this man a raise!
Thank you so much, the ps3 was reading the controller instead of the usb
Thanks for the detailed information really appreaciated it
Thank you mate! It worked with 4.89.1!! THANK YOU!
Thanks for the Help,I didn't put the pup file in the UPDATE folder and I didn't unplug the controller,after following your advice the Firmware was installed Correctly
Before doing this, will this delete all my save data? Including PS2 memory card saves, general game saves, photos, etc. I need to know 😅
for anyone having this issue also try using a USB 2.0 memory stick, I randomly remembered that the PS4 had issues with USB3 so I used my old stick and it worked :)
IF THIS DID NOT WORK READ THIS CHECK LIST
1. change usb this is what i had to do
2. try makeing sure its the right format
3. make sure you followed the following stuff it said in the video
4.try to see if there is dust in the usb port
5. make sure you clicked on the update site UPDATE USEING COMPUTER.
6. if this does not work then try replying to this comment or get a ps3 bc its not working or get it repaired by a repair man.
hope this helped.
Does the usb have to be empty. I mean only have the update file in it for the ps3 to recognize it. Because i have other stuff on there and i cant move it
pulling out the controller worked! and it didn't force me to format the drive either, which is a major blessing because that's a decade of game saves that are not backed up 💀
Will the PS3 be formatted if I do this, because every now and then it keeps crashing and I cannot play it. Will it be formatted?
There is no actual workaround for "No Applicable Update Data Was Found" in your video. Just a regular case of successful update.
To quote a Reddit comment that fixed it for me:
Make sure the USB is partitioned as MBR to do this, Open CMD, Type “disk part”, Then “List disk”, Find the USB, Type “Select disk X” (X = the number next to your USB), Type “Clean”, Then “Convert mbr”, Then select the usb by typing “Select disk X” like last time, and type “Create partition primary”, Then “select partition 1”, Then “Active”, Then “Format fs=fat32 label=(the name of the usb) quick” Promise you that if the folders are set up and its not working this is your issue.
I'm trying this rn. It's at 23% and I'm just waiting for it to go through. I've been going through this same song and dance for the past 3 years off and on and going slowly crazy.

@@JaredsGarageYT if you don’t have a corrupted/ burnt out hard drive, I assume it would work. Lucky for me, mine did go bad, and I was forced to buy a whole new hard drive. If this doesn’t work for you, it might just be time to get a new hdd or ssd.
