Newest PS3 Update Potentially Bricks your console

[Crimson Ghoul]

I updated mine.. I have the white super slim model. Everything went fine

So while my Super Slim updated fine yesterday, I can't sign onto PSN to access Netflix.

I think no one can at the moment. I got on and was greeted with an error code.

That sucks. The only reason I updated was because we wanted to watch a movie on Netflix after dinner.

My Netflix is working fine, btw.

GameWinner: I see. Good to know it's not only me.

Mecha: Yeah, that's why I updated but now I can't sign into PSN to access Netflix.

The username you chose is also the name of a racist character, which means you're a lesser person.

Grow the fuck up.

I'm guessing the reason you can't access PSN is because your console is not on the "latest" (4.41) OFW, but on something else (4.45). Will probably be fixed when they release a non-bricking version of 4.45.

But I'm on 4.45 and watched some Netflix immediately after the reboot. Later that night I even downloaded some games from the PSN Store. Weird.

In that case I was wrong and it's just some freak error that will likely be gone soon. Like I said, I was just guessing

is this mandatory and if so is it required to update right when you turn on the console or when you connect to something?

I'm curious about this as well. My other PS3 is on Rebug 4.40 spoofed to 4.41, but I immediately disabled the internet connection when all of this hoopla began. Anyone on CFW 4.41 here having issues?

Well, I updated yesterday and was able to use Netflix. I guess they shut down PSN sometime after they pulled 4.45.

Others are also having trouble accessing PSN (both from 4.45 and 4.41)

apparently they took down the update until they find a fix:

The fix would be to take firmware 4.41 and release it as 4.46 and set PSN to require 4.41 or higher (instead of 4.45) until they can do the update right this time.

Clearly microshaft spai work.

So I get that it bricked a few consoles. But maybe this could be a GOOD thing for devs, Maybe something in the .UPDAT file could possibly lead to a new jailbreak, INB4 "you're a noob, STFU, You're an idiot yada yada yada." just pointing out that it might be something worth looking into, cause from what I've heard and read this update messes with something in the boot sector of the PS3, again just my 2 cents.

 

[Sakitoshi]

ooouu, my PS3 didn't autoupdated, they pulled the update before the PS+ autoupdate took effect on my console, I wanted to see for myself that PS3 with stock hdd didn't brick for this update, but I think I should be thankful because if my theory failed then I would have a brick, well better try the Giana Sisters demo, I already have the full game in Steam but I like to see how things prform between PC and consoles

I'm pretty sure someone already started a thread about that. Also, Op should be updated about the current status of update 4.45 ofw.

oh the memories :') Ive already got my "I was bricked on route 3.56" badge, but thankfully due to that lesson I can add the "I'm alive after 4.45"
