First, download the firmware update file from Sony's official website. Create a folder named 'PS3' on your USB drive, then inside it, create another folder called 'UPDATE.' Put the firmware file into the 'UPDATE' folder, and make sure it's named 'PS3UPDAT.PUP.' Plug the USB into your PS3, go to 'Settings' > 'System Update,' select 'Update via Storage Media,' and follow the on-screen instructions.

Download the firmware from Sony's official site. Create a folder named 'PS3' on your USB, then an 'UPDATE' folder inside that. Place the firmware file named 'PS3UPDAT.PUP' in 'UPDATE,' plug the USB into your PS3, and update via 'System Update' in the settings.

From personal experience, ensure your USB is FAT32, make the folders 'PS3' and 'UPDATE,' place the firmware file ('PS3UPDAT.PUP') in there, and update through 'System Update' in the PS3 settings. It's smooth sailing!
