Fatal error when installing firmware

Do a checksum on your PS3UPDAT.PUP file to see if it's not corrupted
If you have 7-ZIP you can do this by right clicking the file and picking the 7-Zip option that performs a checksum

PS3 firmware update 4.83 should be 206 115 996 bytes and has the following checksums:

File: PS3UPDAT.PUP
CRC-32: 4c456f3f
MD5: 69b4529fd584523cf37e6d29107b9a8b
SHA-1: 80ba7c334070c07d8fb2c2217ef99f48c09360f0
SHA-256: 5b595f6985cd233a23eeecb3a792539423938ddf48453a48874502b3d82ae6c9

That error you showed happens when the PUP file is corrupted

Thanks, that seemed to be the problem.

I downloaded the file several times from the Sony site and always seems to stop at around 115MB.
For reference on 7-Zip right click the checksum option is "CRC SHA".

To download the whole file I used Wget. Windows version can be found here: Wget for Windows
In powershell I used:

Code:

.\wget64.exe -c http://dus01.ps3.update.playstation.net/update/ps3/image/us/2018_1011_69b4529fd584523cf37e6d29107b9a8b/PS3UPDAT.PUP

The -c makes sure to continue the download if it is disrupted which means you can download the whole file.

Hope that helps anyone else with a similar issue.
also btw seemed to take ages to get my post verified
