I got a PS3 today, and hit the 8002F994 error twice, about 43% through the download.

I then manually downloaded via browser per these instructions:

http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Network/Updates/pc_update.html#update_PC

And it died about %60 of the way through. I re-started and continued that download, then copied the firmware update to a compact flash card (per above link directions) and then used that to update from (it copies from the usb storage to the hard drive, and then updates from that).

Note the update is 100Mb … so it takes a while to download.

I too got the error code 8002F994. I temporarily disable my firewall settings in my router and the update went through fine.

if any of yu have a problem updating the software to version 1.80.

THIS WHAT YOU DO !!!

connect your ps3 directly to your home internet modem (not through a routeur or wireless)
then follow the instructions asusaul to download the software.

What worked for me, finally, was doing a hard reset (power button on the back of the PS3). Things that didn’t help include: regular reboots, resetting the system after crashes, and “just trying over and over”. It worked the first time after the hard reset. My PS3 is connected via Ethernet. It would appear that the system maintains some bad network state through soft-boots and crashes.
