8002F14E - Error when installing a firmware update, that results in an endless loop of installing and failing. The failure is hardware related.

May be a little late here for some people. But someone after me, could benefit from this information!
A corrupt NAND PS3 is not the same as a locked in update loop of your PS3. If you see colored dots or other artifacting of icons or Xrossbar, followed by freezing w/o a YLOD, it does mean your PS3 has overheated though. Proof will be when you attempt to go into Recovery Console and run an update or restore fails there as well. Most likely from from over heating or a failed, corrupt or disrupted update, etc. Re-applying heat sink compound could fix this before it does YLOD on you though!

Error 8002F14E Problems:
If you on the other hand, it's simply locked in an update loop, your PS3 can be saved. Sometimes w/ as little as checking all connections and cables or re-seating your hard drive.

Warning!!!
Whatever you do don't format the hard drive you used in the Update Flashing of your PS3 if it's looping. If you do, it could keep it from ever finishing that update. This is why Sony wants you to send in your hard drive with your PS3 for repairs. In case it's related to this update process. But the actual flashing of PS3's Nand doesn't complete until it reaches 100% and reboots, FYI.

What's happening is that the PS3 is running in Nand flash mode. The Nand (one adjacent to Super Companion/south bridge) has NOT been flashed until this phase is complete. Your PS3 is checking your entire system hardware for faults. If it finds one, then you'll get that 8002F14E code (or similar) and it won't complete until you fix the hardware problem it found. Depending on where in this process it stalls (in the loop % of completion), can indicate where the possible failure is.

Generally if it stalls in the 60-70 range, this indicates a problem with the BluRay (even a dirty lens or bad diode) player in some way. It can be the disc insertion sensor, the main ribbon cable or simply a loose connection. But until you fix it, it will continue to loop in update mode.

If it's in 40% range of completion, it can be anything from a bad or loose hdmi connection to fan malfunction, possibly the hard drive (try re-seating harddrive), Power supply (voltage variance or loose connections), WiFi board, USB connector problems, etc!

80028ED6
It occurs when the PS3 knows that there is an update for a re-booted game but it can't download it...

Solution: Re-boot your modem/router and access the game using the recently played section in the what's new option on your XMB.... hope this helps
