(PS3) GT6 update 1.10 installation fails repeatedly

Question

Hi, I have a serious problem with installing update 1.10. The system downloaded and installed the 2GB installation package but when the game started and the installation script wanted to apply the update the installation failed during the process. The only option was to press OK button but the update procedure started over and over again with the same result. I did a complete restore of my PS3 to its defaults and formatted the disk (full format). Even after that I couldn't update GT6. The game can run without any updates installed. Once I check for updates, the system downloads all 9 packages and installs them. Then I start the game and the update proceduce fails the same way like before the PS3 restoration. How could I solve it?

For those who are still struggling with updating problems...pls try to follow steps mentioned below...at least them worked for me !I found these instructions from elsewhere on this site...--------------------------------Hi mate, sorry to hear of your troubles.   Settle in because I'm about to write a novel.   Seems like you covered most of the big things to try.Unusual that a new formatted HDD is still giving you trouble.Sounds like the issue is probably related to the downloads then, possible packet loss, causing issues with the install. Are you using a wired or wireless connection?Obviously wired is better and you should always use that if possible.Wireless is more susceptible to packet loss during downloads than a wired connection. Do you have a copy of your save file?Are you installing copy that before you try the updates?In other words, any chance the save file is corrupted and causing you issues? Digital download or disc copy?Obviously, also make sure the disc is clean and not scratched, and the laser lens is clean. Only a few things come to mind that you may not have tried.One is downloading the patches in stages.Another is downloading via the new v4.60 XMB option.(Never done it, not sure how it works, but doubtful it will make much difference)The last is an in-game function ... switching off the 'Install Game Data' option.(I'm unsure exactly how this function works) At this stage, considering the game isn't functioning at all, you may as well delete all traces from the HDD.New HDD ... so refomat?Option available from the XMB.XMB ... Settings > System Settings > Restore PS3 System.I believe you will need to update PS3 to v4.60 again.Check HDD looks okay regarding System Software Version and Free Space.XMB ... Settings > System Settings > System Information. Otherwise remove all GT6 files from the console manually.For disc copy   XMB ... Game > Game Data Utility > delete GT6 file.                            XMB ... Game > Save Data Utility > delete both save file (GT6 and GT6 Backup)If digital copy   XMB ... Game > Game Data Utility > delete GT6 file.                             XMB ... Game > delete GT6 icon.                             XMB ... Game > Save Data Utility > delete both save file (GT6 and GT6 Backup)Again, just check HDD looks okay regarding System Software Version and Free Space.  So .... once happy everything is removed, load GT6 onto console.If disc version start the game offline.If digital version download the game only.Start the game offline (or cancel option to Update Software) and confirm it's playing correctly.Play far enough to establish a save file.Quit game, and still 'offline' restart the game and again confirm all is good, and at this point you could consider swithing off the 'Install Game Data' option.Start button > Options > Game Data > Install Game Data.Check link for details.http://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/manual/#!/save_load/autosaveYou may need to manually save to hold this setting change.So you now have a functioning game with a valid save file and the 'Install Game Data' function switched off.  Okay, time to try updates.You could consider doing it in stages.Each patch will download and then install.Once installed, the next patch will begin downloading etc etc.It is possible to cancel out of the download once a file has installed. (circle button) So if it says 'Downloading File 1 of 9' allow for the download and install to finish.When it changes and says 'Downloading File 2 of 9' cancel the process.You should now have updated to the next version ... eg v1.01.You should now be able to play the game (by cancelling the option to Update Software) and check everything is okay. So try updating and installing the first patch file.Check the game is playing correctly.If you have the 15th Anniversary content, you could now consider introducing that the the game data.Access from XMB.XMB ... PSN > Account Management > Transaction Management > Download List.If you have a USB copy of your save file, you could also consider reintroducing that.If you do either of these things, check the game is still playing correctly before proceeding with the other updates. While testing game, you could also consider switching on the 'Install Game Data' option from the in-game menu.You may need to manually save, and then quit and restart game for the function to activate.It's unknown to me exactly how this function works.Whether anything will install immediately after you switch it on, whether it's not until you restart, or whether it will install anything at all, I'm not sure.After giving that a go, you could consider switching it back off again, and manually saving.(As I say, I'm unsure how this function works. Whether this is a worthwhile exercise is perhaps questionable, but apart from wasting a bit of time I see nothing wrong with trying it at each step.)  Then try next patch.Download and install "File 2 of 9'.Cancel download once finished.Check game is playing correctly and manually save.Switch on 'Install Game Data'.Initiate data install, then switch off function and manually save. *Special note for v1.02*There is a known issue for updating forwards from v1.02.Check the link for details.http://www.gran-turismo.com/au/news/00_3266694.html  Continue with 'File 3 of 9'.Repeat process as before. Next patch ... etc etc etc.Checking game and installing data (if available) after each patch. Going roughly from memory ...v1.01 and v1.02 were around 1GB and 1.2GB.v1.03 - 1.06 were all quite small.v1.07, v1.08, and v1.09 were again around 1GB or larger.So you might choose to skip through a few patches part way through if you wish.  As I mentioned earlier, v4.60 introduced a new Game Update function to the XMB.By pressing 'Triangle' while on the GT6 (or any) game icon brings up a menu.On this menu is a new 'Check for Update' option.This allows you to check for updates without launching the game.How it works if it finds an available update I'm not sure. (haven't had a chance to test)So I don't know whether there's any advantage trying to patch GT6 via this option.But it's there if you want to try it out as another alternative.  Obviously, with all that said, there is no guarantee it will work.With a new HDD, a regular full update in one go shouldn't be an issue, so there's a problem somewhere.Maybe the step by step approach will help.Again, and most importantly, wired connection if possible. If no luck it's just a case of try and try again.As you mentioned, using a friends internet, particularly with a different ISP and/or better connection, is a good option.  Please let us know how you get on.Also, please let me know if there's a problem/error/mistake with how I've described any of the procedures.And if you could add anything to that step by step approach, or info. on the XMB 'Check for Updates' function it would be greatly appreciated. Best of luck with it.
