    Hi

    Hopefully someone can help

    I downgraded my 3.50 phat 80gb PS3 to 3.41 and got JB working.
    Then I realised the hard drive wouldnt be big enough do I bought a new one (a 640gb)
    I swapped out the old hard drive, stuck the new one in and expected it to ask me to format but instead it asked me for the 3.41 system software before it would attempt to format the drive.

    Do I need to download this and reinstall?
    And if so where from as I remember seeing a few versions kicking around? :s

    Thanks in advance.

    Nope, I've got a EU Phat and stuck the US update in, it works fantastic. Mind my consoul didn't need that it just formatted the disk. could have somthing to do with the fact I've got one of the 256MB flash models. The ones that get blu-ray crippled

    Just like with the PSP, PS3 updates are the same for all regions.

    I remember when the web browser was added to PSPs, Japan got the update earlier than the US, even though it installed fine (with English available) on US PSPs.

    I have changed out the hdd on many ps3

    I have only been asked for the pup files 2 times
    both of those times were on ps3 80gb fats & both had been downgraded from 3.50 to 3.41

    I inserted a USB stick with the updat pup for 3.41 in the ps3 > update folder and the hdd was formated and installed just fine

    one of these systems is my personal system
    and I use it every day with no problems...

    I had large problems updating with 3.41-firmware. After 5-6 hours of screwing around, trying different harddrives, losing selfasteam (and most of my hair), I found out that there is a harddrive-bug in 3.41.
    Tried 3.50 and 20 minutes later I had a Jailbroken PS3 with 500 gb harddrive running 3.41.

    In conclusion:
    1) Install new harddrive
    2) 3.50 on USB
    3) Downgrade to 3.41
    4) Enjoy

    There is a modified version of 3.41 that fixes the bug. Even though it isn't labelled as such, I'm assuming the PS3-Hacks version I've linked the OP to is the modified one.

    Nice!
    I know they (Sony) released a modified version in august, where the bug was fixed. But that one I never found.

    Thank you for the very useful information!
    I want to change my hard drive too but I am not sure if my 3.41 PS3[EU] has the modified 3.41 and will I be able to jailbreak my PS3 with that modified 3.41 too?
    And has everyone problems with changing the hard drive on the non modified 3.41?
