Accidental update CFW 4.82

Hey everybody, I had a hacked PS3 with one of the custom firmwares, I'm not sure which one and my brother accidentally started an update that did not finish. now the system is kind of in a bootloop and says that I have to put in installation media 4.82. is there any way to undo this am I screwed?

 

Install latest HFW using USB and then proceed to reinstall CFW from there.

 

The Classical "Accidental Update"

Yes, You will need to hack it again starting from scratch basically. Install 4.85 HFW and then you will need to use the flash dumper and writer. Read some tutorials, AND read all the help pages on ps3xploit.com AND watch this

 

Not sure why you guys get such a buzz outta this

It's actually very easy to do. For example I have had recovery mode ignore 4.84 cfw on USB and install 4.50 ofw from bd before, some cfws are not patched to block that

 

Good news everyone! I simply upgraded hard drive and directly installed newest rebug firmware successfully! The reason this probably worked is because 4.82 update would not complete, therefore it never fully updated. Got multiman on it and everything to work .

 

Because "accidentally" installing just cant happen. There is always a confirmation before updating.

 

Depends on situation. There is not in safe mode if coming from a brick. It just starts installing after you press start and select and does not even tell you which pup it is beforehand.

Also kids/family members accidentally update consoles all the time. Just cos there is a confirmation does not mean it's not an accident...

 

Okay you win

 

I get your point, its down to the meaning of the word "accidental" I guess, like if you fall over and hit the confirm button is it still an accident, or if you click on yes instead of no, or if you put wrong PUP onto USB stick etc.

 

Man I knew this would happen, cant we have a little bit of fun sometimes. Its all a big fat non-serious joke if you didnt know. Its just that I did a follow up because there is a confirmation in the XMB. Not safemode as @DeViL303 stated. The whole "accidental update" thing wasnt even invented by me. Chill. Forgive me I guess for this supposed bad post.

 

ISAK.M didn't mean to piss you off, it was an accident.

 

Whatever about you thinking it's impossible to accidentally update, that's your own definition of the word..fine. I just find it weird that take the piss out of everyone who updates to ofw by mistake. It would similar if I always laughed at YLOD and said "hey @ISAK.M look, another YLOD, LOL. Guess he didn't set his fan control correctly". It just comes across as getting a buzz out of someone else's bad luck.

 

I understand, it is kinda cruel to joke about someone's bad luck. But at the same time, I wouldnt care if someone joke a little, but not everyones the same so I guess I am going to have to be more careful

 

That's it, joking a little is fine. It's just when you are calling other members to come and take the piss every time someone does it, it can get a bit much IMO for the user. They came here to get help not to have people having a joke at their expense, that is more the kind of thing you will see on NGU

I think what you guys want is people to frame it like this when they post about it. "I fucked up, I am stupid, I updated to OFW by mistake" , and this way people are definitely are not trying to put blame onto anyone else.

 

I appreciate all mods / developers for sharing knowledge. I knew nothing about CFW PS3Exploit and PS3 hardware and opened many topics, staff was always courteous and helping in replying & solving my issues. @sandungas @atreyu187 @DeViL303 and @pinky have always been helpful.
