PS3 Japanese 60GB Fat PS3 (CECHA00) CFW

Good day, I have a Japanese 60Gb backwards compatible PS3 (MO: CECHA00) updated to official firmware 4.90. I'm trying to install CFW but every time I insert the USB stick and try to install the update, it says that the file cannot be found. I have formatted the USB to FAT32 and dragged over the PS3 folder as per instructions. I have also tried the Safe mode way but whenever I install the CFW this way after the restart the system goes back to the original PS3 4.90 official firmware.

I have also used the PS3Toolset.com method but I got red error messages on the website.

The USB stick I'm using is a 16GB Microcenter brand but I have also tired a 16GB Sandisk. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

In order to install CFW, you must have your console jailbreaked by Bgtoolset. What errors do you get from the toolset?.

Another thing is not all USB drives are compatible with the PS3 update process. But first try to apply the jailbreak patches and see if you have any errors.

Thank you all I have resolved this issue. The trick was to use a different internet source. I have a pocket wifi that I use a secondary internet connection for travel. This allowed me to load up the PS3toolset.com. Thank you now my Japanese BWC PS3 can now play US PS1 and PS2 games!!

No I don't.

A request that isn't exactly 100% as expected might get denied automatically, that may cause issues with certain ISPs or services/tools redirecting requests.
He did it. But in case of no other connections i would have set a DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) on the modem.
