hey guys!

I brought a PS3 off ebay and it came with the firmware version 4.46, went to update it to the latest firmware via a hard wired connection and it came up with the error code 8002F310.

So my PS3 was stuck in the updating loop and I tried to get out of it for about 3 continuous hours trying all these different methods on google. Nothing was really seeming to work, but i managed to corrupt the hard drive to the extent where it had to format and i could re-install firmware 4.46.

Instead of trying to update it via the internet, today i tried to update it via USB and came up with that same 8002F310 error. It is now stuck in the updating loop again and im trying to get it out but not having much luck at the moment.

Does anyone have any knowledge why i would be getting this error?
Could it be because I am trying to update it to a firmware too high?
Should I try to update it to a firmware like 4.62 for example?
Should i try and update the HDD via connecting it to a PC?

All i want to do with this Playstation is to add CFW to it so i can play some mod menus on the older call of duty games.

If i can get it back to 4.46 should I just get a CFW on that firmware version?

Thanks guys

So ive managed to get my ps3 out of the updating loop a few times now and back to firmware 4.46. Have not been successful in getting it to update to 4.86.

Going to try a full format on the system and then update, hopefully the format fixes whatever is causing the error.
