You want to install 4.86.1 HFW or 4.86 OFW?

You can get 4.86.1 HFW from here:
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/4...installing-ps3hen-on-4-84-4-85-4-86-fw.23094/.

After downloading check md5 sum of this firmware.
If still something is wrong did you check another USB device?


HFW - Hybryd Firmware
OFW - Official Firmware

also when I used md5 sum to check if it matched before it did match but once I checked again it didnt...any idea of why it does this?

I'm not sure if I understand you.
You updating FW via USB device, so you don't need internet connection.
Why not disable it for update process?

ok so is it displaying the error because the md5 thing is not matching?

I'm not sure where you're heading...
If md5sum do not match wanted one something wrong might happens during download, etc.
Instead of using online md5sum "checkers" try:
https://www.winmd5.com/.
