My PS3 is sitting on firmware version 3.55 (he’s a little antisocial) and has quite a bit of catching up to do. My question is do u have to install every minor version sequentially, ie , 3.56, 3.60, 3.73, 3.72, 3.70, 3.66, 3.65, 3.61, 4.00, 4.10, 4.11, 4.21
OR
Can you jump right to 4.21? will it contain all previous updates as well?
I will be updating via USB so wondering how many files to download.
I googled and googled and searched other sites but without a definitive answer on this one.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi SnowySTI
Nope, 4.21 includes all the updates you need to bring your console up to date.
How many files, you ask: only 1 download required.
You can find 4.21under the PlayStation 3 section of the PlayStation website.
before you download the update you need to set the USB stick up correctly:
1: ensure your USB drive in FAT32 format
2: once you have re-formatted the flash drive you need to create a folder inside the flash drive named PS3 (ensure P & S are both in capitals)
3: inside the PS3 folder, create another folder named UPDATE (all in capitals once again)
4: download 4.21
5: Move the downloaded file to the UPDATE folder (ensuring the downloaded file is saved as PS3UPDAT.PUP)
6: Insert your flash drive into your PS3
7: From the XMB (Cross Menu Bar) go to: settings > system update > external storge > press X
And you're done ![]()
