What's your firmware in old HDD (80GB)? 3.55? If you already updated to 3.55 in old HDD, PS3 won't request to update to latest firmware when you plug-in new HDD.

These steps I did last time when upgraded my 80GB to 320GB.
1) Update to latest firmware.
2) Backup all data using backup utility to ext HDD (FAT32).
3) Put in new HDD (without formatted first). PS3 will request to format the new HDD.
4) Restore all data from ext HDD.

From all steps you posted, look like nothing wrong. Maybe your 3.55 firmware file corrupted (guess only)??
Try to re-download 3.55 firmware from Playstation.com MY or use my method update PS3 to latest firmware first.

it is necessary to update to latest firmware before replace the hdd?can't we do it later after we successful install the new hdd?

Not necessary. But PS3 will request to use latest firmware during it want install software to new HDD. So, you need plug in thumbdrive/ext HDD with latest firmware in order to proceed further.

imho it's much easier that way..upgrade 1st or upgrade later

Depend on what method you update your PS3. through PS3 itself or use thumbdrive (download from playstation.com first).
If you always use PS3 update firmware, then just update first before change HDD.
If you use thumbdrive, then not necessary update first. PS3 will request update during new HDD installation.
So, not to say which method is better, anyhow you need to update to latest firmware in order to use new HDD.

I not sure whether Sony change something in latest firmware which request to put in thumbdrive with latest firmware every time you change HDD.

check ur firmware update file

PS3Updat.PUP >>>> PS3UPDAT.PUP
