Online Update
You can upgrade the Red Ribbon installation from the online official repository, you don’t need to reinstall the distribution from CD.
This update is only designed for the RC 4 or lower with all previous updates.
You need to connect the PS3 to the internet, open a lxterminal and download the file:
wget http://redribbon.sourceforge.net/downloads/online-update-2011-09-01.sh
Then, you can execute it:
sudo sh online-update-2011-09-01.sh
And wait until finished.
If while executing it asks:
You are running a kernel (version 2.6.38-powerpc64) and attempting to remove the same version. This is a potentially disastrous action. Not only will /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-powerpc64 be removed, making it impossible to boot it, (you will have to take action to change your boot loader to boot a new kernel), it will also remove all modules under the directory /lib/modules/2.6.38-powerpc64. Just having a copy of the kernel image is not enough, you will have to replace the modules too.
I repeat, this is very dangerous. If at all in doubt, answer Yes. If you know exactly what you are doing, and are prepared to hose your system, then answer No.
Do you want to abort removal now?
You must answer NO.
thanks for the reply but my question was if i take a backup now, i.e. from 3.72 firmware, will it effect on the cfw 3.55 when i restore on it.......

Note: When you turn off the PS3 if the red light is blinking, do not worry. Now a syscall is used to simulate a problem and to turn off the PS3, but actually everything is ok.
