You can't back it up or do anything since its stuck on the updating progress screen. Even trying to get into the options screen by holding the power button failed.

You need to restore your ps3 to factory settings. Back up your save data first with either a usb stick or external hard drive.

SOURCE: my ps3 is trying to install the new update of 2.80

As long as it is still in the downloading stage and not the installing stage then you can safely power down your PS3. Sometimes this happens if the server you are trying to download from is having issues... your best bet is to try again later.

What does error code "8002F165" mean, when doing a system update

From what I can find the code means that the update data is corrupt. There are no great answers for this problem. There are a few things you can try but they all have limited success. The 1st option is to download the update from the internet and load it onto a usb flash drive and try updating it again or 2 back up your save game files and then reformat the hard drive then attempt to load update. If neither works then you should look at calling sony tech support if not for a fix for information as to your options. Search online for you closest repair shop.

Did not finish upgrade err code 8002F165

How did you install the update? via internet or USB device? I offer free tech support over the phone if yo want I can try to walk you through. 972 217 6684

Try to boot up into your diagnostic screen....if it will let you.
In some cases you may need to replace the hard drive itself.
