I'm stuck in the same place. The note in Section 2 step 16 says to follow special instructions if the update didn't work, but the readme from code.google.com that it refers to is no longer there. But, I managed to find a copy of it here: http://sacd-ripper.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/readme Here are the special steps for 3.55. Just tried this and it worked for me. If the steps above did not work for you, then you are probably on 3.55 already. You will have to do a recovery menu mode installation: 1: Plug a USB stick into your computer 2: Copy the custom firmware file that you downloaded to a USB memory stick as /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP. 3: Plug the USB stick into your PS3 4: Power down the PS3 through the menu 5: Now press and HOLD the power button, the system will startup and shutdown again 6: Release the power button, then press & HOLD power again, you'll hear one beep followed by two consecutive beeps 7: Release power then follow the on-screen instructions. You're now in the recovery menu 8: Connect the USB device and select "System Update." 9: Accept Conditions and Follow the instructions Dave

So I've gotten the ps3 with original 3.55 firmware and have been reading the primer pdf. My question is, given that I already have 3.55 do I still do the steps in section 2 (hacking the os)? Or just start with section 3 (installing the ripper)? Thanks! Dave
