with your video I was able to do something I've been wanting to do for a long time
I was able to cage my 500gb HDD to a 1t SSD thank you so much
Thanks. I didn't even know this utility existed. I have done multiple hdd swaps and this was the easiest. Yesterday I upgraded 2 ps3 slims to ITB with this method.
Hey did ur hdd space remain the same or expanded?
@@OmgTheyKilledKenny101 expanded up to 1tb.

@@PraiseGod671 been on dex since I hacked it
Great tutorial, upgraded to a 1tb ssd fine but had a very slight issue after the restart. Controller turns on system but when it gets to the user selection screen the controller lights would constantly flash and not connect. I found a fix, turn the power off at the wall on the user selection screen. When I booted it back up the console complained about an improper shutdown, scanned for errors and when it came back on the controller now works fine from turning the console on.
All went well, thanks for the tutorial!!🤩 I did it with a Slim CFW 4.91 latest Evilnat CEX (activate first QA Flag, and debug settings) 👏👏👏
to get debug settings i have ti activate qa flag?
@@krisskashin CEX yes, that way you can activate debug settings.
@@luqui89 I activated qa flag but when i do buttoj combo it doesnt show up
@@krisskash you have to do the combo (L1+L2+R1+R2+DOWN+L3) when you are in network settings.
@@luqui89 yea that's what im trying
worked like a charm , 1tb sandisk SSD plus, latest REBUG ! THX !!!!!!!!
Why SSD you paid more money for no reason. The PS3 only has a SATA 1 controller. A SSD is SATA 3. So basically you are completely bottlenecking the SSD (you are getting the same speeds as the HDD)
@@User_1795 i know, but i have plenty of ssd around and well, the ps3 is moved a lot because the kids watch plenty of blurays . no moving parts no fear of headcrash
For anyone that gets a "Rebuild Error/Must format". I ending up selecting format. It keeps the CFW but deletes save data and installed pks/games.
hi, im getting error when staring my ps3.. is says 'An error occurred during the rebuild operation. how to fix this?
If the option wasn’t in your settings and your on dex go to rebut toolbox (install it if you don’t have it) go to debug menu type and select CEX QA and then the option should be in your debug settings make sure your second hdd is formatted to fat32 before you transfer worked perfectly for me first try thank you!
you have any idea why it still wouldn't be working? my drive has been formatted to fat32, but every time I try the ps3 says build error and then asks to format the drive which ive done 2 times now
i don't have debug for HDD Exchange utility in my debug settings
Thanks, this worked perfectly. It took about 3-4 hours too transfer around 110gb of files too my new 1tb Hard Drive.
Thank you for the great informative video ,. It works and is simple upgraded 160GB to 500GB PS3 cfw. Will easy upgrade to 1TB with no worries , thanks a 1,000000.
did you reinstall the cfw after you installed your new hdd?
I have rebug lite 4.86.1 CEX and it worked perfect! i just enabled the debug settings under the network options because it was hidden with this combination (L1+R1+L2+R2+L3+Down arrow on keypad you should also have enabled Qa flag in the rebug toolbox menu or else it wont work) then i followed the procedure and everything went as shown on the video! thanks ModzLink :) , i also believe that if you get errors on the procedure then you propably have damaged hard disk (main or the exchange one) bad sectors or weak sectors or transfer errors issues , just before you start check your drives with Hdsentinel and do a short self test just for sure :D
QA flag is enabled for me and i cant get debug settings to appear
Thanks!
@@CY-187 try with different controller :P
hey i downloaded hdsentinel and the tests ran fine. I've done debug hdd utility twice already and keep coming up with "an error occurred during the copy operation 8001000b" right before the hdd copy finishes on the PS3. It would be 99% and the error pops up. Any tips?
I was happy that I didn't have much on my PS3 when I did this, it only took 2 hours to transfer everything
Thank you! I got a error about 10% in the first time I tried but second time went through great:)
Okay ... since soooo many people have been reporting problems on a hard drive exchange on a 4.81.2 Rebug CFW ... I have now successfully exchanged 3 hard drives on this firmware. So I would like to post the steps I go through... If ModzLink doesn't care that is:
Note: each of these exchanges was performed on ReBug CFW 4.81.2 D-REX... if you're on straight Rebug CEX 4.81.2 I recommend updating to the DRex as you are able to change the target ID from CEX and DEX on the DRex version found on Rebugs website. I also used a radio shack branded USB 3.0 to Sata cable plugged directly into the new hard drive as seen on this video. The hard drive I chose for all 3 was Seagate 1TB SATA Laptop Hard drive powered by Barracuda(w/e the fk that is).. it was like 70$.. the adapter probably doesn't matter as to which one you use.
I turn on the PS3 and I go to Rebug toolbox to make sure that QA Toggle is enabled. I then go past system information all the way to the right to the last menu subheading and then all the way down to the very last option which should be "change ps3ID" and I select 84 CEX... I exit back to the xmb menu.
Then the procedure i have been using is pretty much the same as seen here in the video.. you go to debug settings under settings in the xmb menu as shown and then to HDD exchange. Follow the steps to physically replace the drive as shown in the video. I would however let the PS3 cool down for about an hour after copying the drive over before exchanging the hard drive. I then plug everything back up and turn it on.. it rebuilds the data and gets stuck at about 70% and then goes through, again, shown in this video.. but have patience it will go through. It will then restart and the first time your profiles load it will be a little laggy but it will go away once you go into your profiles and restart.. wallah.. everything is new again. Huge shoutout to ModzLink for this video and the inspiration to help people who were having probs on 4.81.2 Rebug..
+CDubs HasIt thanks for providing useful info
Grey Skies if it doesn't show up I would recommend updating to the newest drex. But that could also fuck up all your other stuff ...so you can do it a different way which may be easier for you.
Go to back up utility and make a backup to a USB external hard drive.
Synchronize trophies with the server. If you care about this.
Remove and exchange internal hard drive.
Keep the Internet disabled beyond this point.
Make sure you have your current custom firmware or higher on a USB drive in the right hand USB socket. Plug in your controller to the other socket.
Boot your PS3 into restore/recovery/safe mode. Not hard to do. Many tutorials on how to do this. A matter of pressing the power button a number of times.
Hit restore. It'll want to install firmware. Make sure you install firmware from the USB drive with your firmware on it. Follow on screen instructions until you get back to main PS3/Rebug menu, plug your external drive back into the right hand USB socket and go to settings and back to back up settings. Hit restore from back up and select your back up. It'll do its thing and restart. And there ya go.
But you do need to make absolutely sure QA is toggled either way. You can do this in Rebug toolbox.
Is it very important to swith to 84 CEX if currently in DEX?
shukran bro
@@captawesome11 I'm new to ps3 jailbreaks and ps3 modding in general, my console came with a 100gb internal hdd, which is garbage, i'm in the process of upgrading to a 500 as its all i have lyinga round. What i have done so far is in RebugToolbox turn Q/A toggle to enable, change ps3ID to CEX 84, then somewhere else in rebug toolbox there was a option called DebugMenu type, i just changed it to CEX also, and now the Debug HDD Utility Exchange shows up, right now its cloning to the new drive. Hopefully i wont experience any errors...
so i have a Fat CFW evilnat 4.91.2 model, it has a 60 gb disk and i want to upgrade it, the HDD has 0 stuff in it besides a virtual memory card for a ps1 game, i have read that replacing the HDD wont delete the CFW but, do i must backup the original drive? it doesnt have anything, is there something that it is supposed to backup thats completely necessary for a correct upgrade? its a NAND system
I don't have that setting in my debug settings I am on 4.78 kernel CEX target DEX
Don’t have that setting either, can’t find any solutions to it unfortunately.
it works perfectly, with cfw, i had to rebuild from safe mode, but that was it
Hidden Gems how do you do that
@@Thenormalguy_real_one you just long press the power button for 10 seconds and then again you press it for awhile. There are videos online i recommend you look on RUclips how to turn on ps3 on safe mode there is many videos
Hidden Gems okay thank you
Hey Modzlink, when you run the Debug for HDD Exchange Utility data transfer, is the PS3 on CEX or DEX?
Great tutorial!
CEX QA in the rebug settings makes the Debug HDD setting appear.
@@Anime_Fan_0069 thank you! i was wondering where that setting was.
@@EnTeeSea No problem
@@Anime_Fan_0069 Thanks - your comment really saved me a lot of time as I was using DEX
I have the latest rebug d-Rex installed and I can not find the HD exchange utility is it only in the older rebugs?
i wish i have watched this video before upgrade my hdd
i just brick my ps3 😩😩
Great 👍 finally got around to upgrading the drive. Perfect 🤩
I found this video's method the most detailed and simpliest way to upgrade the HDD of my PS3, so I've ordered a Seagate FireCuda SSHD 1TB drive and a SATA/USB adapter according to the video.
I had Rebug CFW 4.81.2 REX on my system and I couldn't find the Debug for HDD Exchange Utility for the first sight... After some research I figured I have to switch the Debug Menu type to CEX to make it available, so I was good to go, but after 2 hours of copying i've got the "error occurred during the copy operation (800100B)" message, so I've formatted the drive on my pc to FAT32 and tried again...same results, I tried it again thinking it might have been just some reading/writing error, but no luck after another 2 hours.
Then I just switched to 4.81.2 D-REX firmware following the instuctions of another modzlink video, but the same error occurred during the copying progress to the new drive.
So now I'm on 4.81.2 D-REX and I removed some stuff of the already small 120 GB initial hard drive to make it copy only like 69GB total, surprisingly the processing still took 2 hours and the result was the same error emssage.
In the end I just used the backup utility with a thumb drive which took only about 30 minutes, swapped the drives and I was ready to install the CFW on the new drive, but...
by some miracle the Rebug booted on and seems like all the 69 GB has been copied to the new hard drive, I have everything I had before with additional 880 GB space. Also I didn't have that Rebuilding data on the disk screen at all, nor the exchange completed or restart the system message, after the hard drive swap it looked like everything is great, no message indicating the hard drive has changed.
However after I've restarted the console a new message came up about corrupted files and telling me the storage must be formatted and all data will be deleted, so I still had to restore my backup from the thumbdrive.
geez what an unfortunate journey you had.
Im looking forward to doing this but I hope I dont run into this
Thanks a lot for making life simple for us. Great tutorial 👌
my debug for hdd exchange was not there at 1st and im on cfw rebug cex 4.81.2 all i did was go to rebug tool book, xmb to debug then go back to xmb then debug settings and there it is .
hi, just to speed things up a bit, can we remove both hard drives and use the sata station to do a direct copy and paste with the help using a PC ?
Perfect tutorial, this helped me very quickly.
Are you sure this method isn't exclusive to same-sized HDD?
Source: www.reddit.com/r/ps3homebrew/wiki/new_hdd
Edit: just tested and he is right, worked like a charm. Waaay easier than the wiki page I posted, but It is still worth giving it a read.
So i can upgrade to a larger SSD?
@@YoungCatracho I really don't remember man, sorry
I also got a black screen, it doesn't even start to copy stuff to the new HDD, can you please help us? :)
Should I downgrade to 3.55 as you explain in your 4.75.1 video? I am currently on 4.78.1
Thanks in advance!
does the drive need to be fat32 or ntfs is fine? will it convert it by itself?
Also curious about this

LOL in your video you have a ANKER sata adapter but your link in description leads to a UNITEK sata adapter THAT COST TWICE AS MUCH WITH SAME FEATURES
Do I need to format the new drive first before I copy over data from the new drive or does the hdd exchange utility do it automatically?
i tried to upgrade from 320 gb to 1 TB and when I try to runn the process it says that there is not enough space on the disk... what should i Do?
Delete something that you don't care about 🤣
In my debug menu it doesn’t have exchange hdd
Me too any solution ?
Error occurred during the rebuild operation. That's the error I get after swapping the drives. Tried it twice now same issue. Do I need to make sure my drive is formatted in a certain way first?
im having the same issue. I've formatted the hard drive the fat32 to begin with and it didn't work. ive now tried it twice now and the ps3 says it formats the drive correctly but its still not working ha
@@gaminggyro8408 yea I had to do it a different way. This method just didn't work for me
Honstly I find using this method faster than the normal backup, reinstall os and restore thing.

any help guys?
gotta love when you're trying to upgrade to an ssd with less space than the hard drive and it says there isnt enough space
Don't upgrade to SSD. Your just paying more money for no reason. The PS3 is SATA 1. A SSD is SATA 3. You are completely bottlenecking the SSD at 150mb/s. You can get a 1TB HDD for like as low as $20-$35

@@thennekcdcdthennek6417 I didn't know that... Interesting.
People dont do this. You're risking a YLOD here and it takes a very long time! Just use HDClone to create a bit-by-bit copy of your ps3 hdd to a bigger (possibly faster) hdd.
How could it cause YLOD?
Don't fool people.

The steps:
1) Enter Safe mode: "(Hold down the power button on the console waiting for the first beep, then keep it depressed until the console switches off completely. Remove your finger from the button.
Then, hold down again, wait 5(ish) seconds for the console to beep, then wait 2 further seconds for two successive beeps. After the second beep, take your finger off the power button)"
2) Select first option 3 and then 4.
Quoting Playerkp420: "Option 3. Restore File System and Option 4. Rebuild Database, will not format the HDD. But after choosing Option 3. it is normal for the PS3 to say something is corrupt then restore the file system. Even if nothing is corrupt. It does the thing like when the ps3 wasn't shut off correctly, but nothing should get formatted. If you cancel it after starting though, it will probably want u to format."
However when I go to check the free space it still says the same amount as on the previous HDD, 122GB/931GB, and it should be something like 893GB/931GB, what can I do for it to be detected properly?
To fix the incorrect free space shown which was apparently because it had all of its space unallocated and when restoring it only allocated 160gb as per previous HDD since it couldn't perform the rebuild successfully, I formatted the HDD, it kept the CFW and it now shows the correct amount of space however the data was deleted. To recover the data I restored it from a backup I did as a failsafe. So I didn't have to reinstall CFW with pendrive but had to follow some steps from this other guide:
ruclips.net/video/HyjXR9GMjfw/видео.html
Now it does say 828GB/931GB which is what is expected from a 1TB HDD.
For the trophies I backed up the whole "dev_hdd0\home" which includes the "Trophy" folder via FTP and sent it back to the new HDD the same way.

To do this on Evilnat 4.88 you need to download and install the Rebug tool box package. From the Rebug tool box app enable QA flags. Exit to the Playstation home screen. Go to settings section and go all the way down to Network settings option and hold L1,L2,R1,R2,L3, and down on the control pad at the same time to unlock the Debug menu. You must have an actual PS3 controller for this to work because the HDD utility will ask you to press the center PS3 button. I learned the hard way that PS4 and PS5 controllers will not be accepted.

I got a jailbreak ps3, the hdd died and does not let me install the firmware in the new hdd, is there anyway to make it work?
Will this method work on rebug 4.82 cfw ??? also will the pkg installed games retain their licenses or do i have to reactivate them again??? I have a 500 gb slim but i was thinking about bumping the storage to 1 tb.
Modzlink could you please make a video on how to install games without actually installing them through the game help and If I used my 1tb Hargrove from my laptop will that work on my cfw ps3
to backup games without you owning the games is piracy and modzlink doesnt promote that in any way. and i think installing a laptop hardrive should work the same way just format it i think. not sure though.
Hello I have a REBUG 4.75.1.3 DEX how can I do the same as bc I don't get that options on rebug toolbox? do I have to go back to CEX?
Will this transfer everything? Even saves on internal ps1/ps2 memory cards?

Is this a full transfer meaning all the data from the old one will be on the new hdd?
