Alright, first format the USB to FAT32. Then, create a folder named 'PS3' and inside that, another folder called 'UPDATE'. Download the firmware update from the PlayStation website and save the file in the 'UPDATE' folder. Pop the USB into your PS3, go to 'Settings' > 'System Update' > 'Update via Storage Media', and follow the prompts. Boom, you're done!

Just make sure your USB is FAT32 formatted and download the update from the official PlayStation site. Follow the folder naming ('PS3' -> 'UPDATE') and save the update file there. Plug it into your PS3 and update from the 'System Update' menu. Easy peasy!
