Troubleshooting - No Applicable update data was found

Lots of guys tried all the possible ways that they could do and then they was sure that they had it saved correctly. Initially, they even saved PlayStation update system software [Latest PS3 firmware] to SD card and tried with adapter, then on DVD-R or DVD-RW, but still no luck. Then they swapped out an HDD from an old YOLD 40GB, still no luck, they played around with formatting and installing update system software for hours. Then got referred from Sony PC support website and had an FAT CECH M03 YOLD (love to Sony) HDD which had a lot of data on it, so they were reluctant to put it in PS3 SLIM as it would instantly format it and probably gives another error message "Can't find HDD..." etc etc. Moreover, some of them are also tried with SAFE MODE.

Fix No Applicable update data was found

Before starting one thing I want to describe you that the newest sony software specially comes for playstation update or PSx firmware update is CASE sensetive. Sony PC support described that the update file should be put as it is at exact folder in PS3 storage media. To have Ps3 no applicable data found fix for hard drive upgrades software update - Follow the instruction;
  1. The USB drive must be formatted to FAT32 with default allocation unit.
  2. In the root directory of the drive you need to have a folder named "PS3"
    (upper-case only)
  3. In that "/PS3/" folder you need to have a sub-folder named "UPDATE"
    (upper-case again)
  4. In that "/PS3/UPDATE/" sub-folder you need a file named "PS3UPDAT.PUP"
    (upper-case yet again and see this name carefully, its UPDAT not UPDATE)
  5. So the local pathname for the update file on that drive must be:
    "/PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP"
