Hello,

I need your help desperately. I own a 320G PlayStation 3 slim which I bought February 2011 in London. I had just finished playing Assassins Creed Revelations(bought in London) and was about to start with Mass Effect 3(bought in Houston Tx) I slotted the disc in and it started downloading update 4.11 On completion of the download, it started installing the update but when it got to 16%, it stopped and showed error code 8002F147. I followed the instruction the console gave but it stopped at 16% after installation resumed.

I removed the HDD and formatted it with my laptop using NTFS, downloaded update 4.11 from the playstation UK website into a flash drive which I formatted to FAT32 tried restarting the console which reformatted the HDD, downloaded the update from the flash drive but when it started installing the update, it stopped at 15%
I bought a new HDD(Seagate 500G) but it still stopped installation at 15% and gave the error code 8002F147.

I live in Nigeria and unfortunately my console is not covered by warranty and there is no PlayStation service centre available in the country so my only hope of getting my console working without having to buy a new console which I can't afford now is from you guys. Please help a brother out, depression is setting in fast.

Thanks

Try this solution.

I've tried it. It didn't work.
