Asked By damon healy 30 points N/A Posted on - 08/24/2012

Hi,  I am trying to update firmware 3.50 but getting error as 8002F147 while 20% of installation was completed because I am trying to fix my SP3. Formatting the disk several times, I tried to install an older version of the software as well as with the update 3.56 version.

Please let me know, if anybody knows how to fix the problem. I am passing 2months already without my sp3. Anyone’s help will be highly appreciated.

Error code: 8002F147

Hello Damon,

Follow the steps below and see if they will help resolve the issue that you are getting right now:

• First you will need to take out the hard drive.
• And then you will connect hard drive to a PC that has Windows OS.
• Next you will open up disk management.
• And then format in NTSF. Do not use quick format
• After that get the ROM of the version you had before you upgraded.
• And then copy that ROM to a USB drive in folders PS3.
• After that shut down the PC, and then take out the HD and the USB drive too.
• And then put the HD back in ps3, put usb stick in PS3.
• And then boot PS3.
• A screen will pop up on which you will press select + start.
• Another screen will pop up. Press select + start.
• And then configure your PS3 setup.

Regards,

Carl
