Did u try any other CFW?
For example, i still using Geohot's one. And it's worth a shot.
Try this one, after that u can update with Kmeaw :rolleyes:

Well seems like all website had geo's cfw removed.
Try this one :Dashhacks :: PS3-Hacks :: Waninkoko's PS3 Custom Firmware 3.55 Patch v2

I installed it on my phat PS3 from the xmb (ie did you try it without using recovery mode first?)

found it and it seems to be working thank you

ok got it installed and then installed mutiman and ftp server but when i click on them it says a error has occered. now what im getting frustrated
