I am deaf. So all I'm doing is turning my system on and off repeatedly. No menu. Wish they thought to put visual cues into the lights such as fast beeps and slow beeps so those of us with bad hearing could know what to do.
At this point you may figured it out...anyway, if that's not the case try this: - step 1: press the power button (PS3 turns on) and hold it until the console shuts down by itself; now you can release the button - step 2: press the power button (PS3 turns on) again and hold it until the message "Connect the controller using a USB cable, and then press the PS button" appears on screen
@@OrcTheRed after that ..another thing missing.. how to move around with the options and select the right one for us if the controller doesn't obey because it's still charging.. ?thanks
Great video. My PS3 kept getting stuck at 98% after I formatted the drive, after running it on safe mode, it worked! Thank you so much! I was about to give up.
I was able to override the 4.88 update using safe mode! I installed the 4.88 with the necessary firmware to get HEN working - I’m using the super slim Apparently, this wasn’t supposed to work - but it did. Thanks man
Great video very helpful. Just wish the PS3s were made better and not so cheap. Corrupt files happen all the time and the system freezing when trying to log in online is terrible and a fault that shouldnt happen.
I think hat even if we can't notice it, Sony has done a massive work in making our PS3 as reliable as possible, but I also think that it shouldn't be easy to guarantee a great stability in a system with continuous updates, new game data and so on...
Danny James I have used the option that rebuild database but it keeps saying that preparing please wait! Nothing happens it keeps saying that help pls thank u
A friend of mine downloaded and installed the lastest GT6 patch. After making it to the main menu of the game, he turned the system off without issue. When he turned it back on, the system froze before loading the XMB. So he went into safe mode, chose "Restore File System" and now it says: "Preparing...Please wait". It's been 24 hours and he's still seeing this screen.
When I attempt to put my PS3 into Safe Mode the screen remains blank, I made sure I was doing everything correctly. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem..?
My PS3 slim was freezing at random moments. I had to do a ''File Restore System'' a few times, and an extra repair-scan when I started my PS3, everything is working fine
This is my problem: My PS3 pops a message that says that the system is corrupted and I restore it (There's no cancel, I'm forced to press yes) then after 100% doesn't restart and the screen stays blank black. Help pls
how do i exit the mode system update when the console doesn't allow me every time I turn it on it automatically pulls the installation it gets to 33% and then throws the error 8002F 165
My PS3 stopped being able to read Blue Ray movies, and suggested to fix the file structure in safe mode, their instructions for safe mode wasn't clear, yours was perfect and the problem is now solved.
OMFG THANK YOU. PEOPLE WHO MADE RUclips VIDEOS ON THE SYSTEM UPDATE MESSAGE NEVER MENTIONED TO PUT AN ADDITIONAL FOLDER SAYING PS3 ON IT. THANK YOU SONY
this doesn't work on my fat pS3. Anytime I turn it on, it gives me the yellow light. When I flip the switch in the back and hold the power button, it goes to the yellow light, beeps 3 times, then blinks red. When I take my finger off and hold it again, the red light doesn't blink anymore it just stays there. If I push it again it starts up and gives the yellow light again and repeats. Changing the power outlet doesn't work either.
Well my hardrive has been corrupted now for awhile And for the past two weeks I've been trying to fix it in safe mode since it won't start up, Litterally every option I select does not work, it will just say "preparing" or its loading or deleting something, and it will stay like that for hours and not change at all, I'm about to just try and delete everything but that probably won't even work... Dammit sony...
Nipzzy Huzzle Just go on ebay. Get a New HDD or SDD any GB ya want. Swap it with your old one. Boom, done. Same with any PS3 buy a low GB and swap it out. Turn any PS3 into a TB for $80 on Ebay. Good luck boys
When i turn on my ps3 it starts up normally for about 3 seconds then blinks red and green for another 3 seconds then shuts off, with no light on the power button. What option is best?
or not I've tried every single item on that restore list... something's wrong is like it's not letting the ps3 reading pkg or iso files.. yet rebug tool is on there, pkg format and it reads it and installs it.. flash drives I've only got 64 gb ones.. it's like I haven't transferred anthng to the fleah drive.. can't get ps3 to update.. or considers every single update file as corrupted data even from official exploit site.. don't understand.. don't even know anymore what folder on ps3 o should put the games on and if iso or pkg filme and don't know if I need any tool for it to read pkg or iso files.. I'm lost of resources.. 😢🤦😭
Hi All, my ps3 said the file on system storage is corrupted and will be restored, so i re formatted the HDD by activating safe mode - My problem now is i have a safe mode screen sat in front of me with the 6 options but the screen is frozen and i cannot do anything !!!! Can anyone advise me what i can do please
ok so i got a ps3 off ebay, it has some games playable on it, but i want to upgrade the HDD to an SSD. I've tried backing up and it stops at 25% and says backup can't be completed. any idea why? can i pull the drive copy the files to my PC then copy them to the new drive after i intialize it? TIA
I have a problem, in a game called little big planet, whenever I try to load a online level it says failed to load level, the cause was because I left the game while the game was saving and I didn't know, I need help how to fix it.. Which is the best decision to choose for it?
i have done some research and called sony costumer support only the only way to fix your ps3 if option 3 says preparing for long time is click option 5 which is to delete every thing from your ps3. hope this helps...
Umm I original had it hacked and my nephew was playing today and an update popped up and he hit update, which started then crashed - now it just keeps boot looping saying the system software cannot be run correctly try to restart. I can get to safe mode But when I try to do an update it keeps saying no applicable update was found ?? Any ideas ?? also was does the mem card have to be format in ??
What if I factory reset my ps3 because I didn't know about the recovery settings. But I want to get my data and accounts back how can I recover those data. I don't have a back up tho.
So my ps3 suddenly showed blue screen with system information corrupted. I tried to restore file system and it just gave me a black screen and the controller turned off
take out the Hard drive 2. put the hard drive in an enclosure 3. connect to PC make a simple volume 4. format 5. put the hard drive back in the console and it will boot to the safe mode screen and will tell you to install the OS
Well im not good at this to start but what if your ps3 freezes before you even go the main screen and when you are doing the check for currupt files it goes to 100% no problem but then it restarts and same it freezes i have the super slim so do i do the same thing?
I have a problem...when i start up my ps3 it just flickers from black to green to fuzzy then my tv just doesnt read it. I reset the video settings (holding power button down for 5 seconds) and it comes up with the available hdmi device available - if I press 'yes' to use it the same thing happens as on normal start up and if i press 'no' i hear the normal start up sound but the screen is just black. Also when I hold down the power button it turns on, then another bleep for resetting the video settings then another for the resart thing however it doesn't turn off, instead it stays on for a few seconds then completely shuts down as if you have just pulled the power out the back of it. Help...this shit sketch!
When I choose Restore File System it just stays on (Preparing... Please Wait.) for a long time then it freezes. And all other options freeze it too. What do I do? All this happened after I downloaded Batman Arkham City online...
My ps3, whether it was started in safe mode or started up normally. When I start it, it automatically goes to a system update no options before hand. Then I let it go through the process and at 99% it will freeze and not load anything. I have left it sit for up to about 3 days but it never goes past 99%. What should I do???
Please someone help if possible. So I froze on a game, and when I gave it around 30 minutes to cool down I turned it back on & it literally froze at the reboot menu where that PS3 words appear and the ambient noise plays. Unfortanately this time the power button can't turn off the frozen PS3 so O'm forced to unplug it. So I reboot it again, and It tells me to restore file system, so okay I do and it's supposed to restart after that but I just get a black screen. Every flipping time I get the black screen I have to unplug it and O hate that I have no idea what to try someone PLEASE help! You can't turn the PS3 off with Safe mode in this state either wtf do I do?
Which option do I use for deleted games? Cause I turnt on my ps3 and I went under my games folder tab and when I opened it up it said there is no data, but it still says I have 32 titles and I still have my trophies for those games and it's storage is still on my hard drive so the games Are still here it's just not showing up, so please help me?
My PS3 failed an update and provided error code 8002F1F9. Following the online RUclips instructions (power down after 3 beeps; then hold down for 1+1+2quick beeps) does not lead to the promised request for an attached controller and thence to the safe mode menu. Rather, it results in another attempt to install the failed update which again fails at 49% and , again, offers the same error code. Repeatedly! What am I missing?
I am thinking about using steps 3 and 4 to try to remedy a problem of apparent lost space. As in, Hard Drive space seeming to have disappeared with no know reason, whether it be from downloads which did not occur or any other data related event. Irritating as can be because I have a CECHE01 80GB system with 74GBs total space, only have around 45GB taken up in game installs, and the rest of the data on my system would only add up to around 50GB worth of total used space...ugh...
I've followed instructions but when I press the PS button on remote control, nothing,its still dead and nothing works. So need to turn off ps3 from mains. Now what? I need to do this because my game keeps freezing and losing hours worth of gameplay data
I am having an issue trying to download Metal Gear Solid IV off the PS Store my system tells me that there is not enough space on the system storage to download the game. I have a 500GB HDD in my PS3 and even though it's pretty full I was able to clear out about 45GBs of space for Metal Gear Solid IV which is only reading as a 27GB download. So I'm not sure why it continues to tell me I don't have enough to download this game. I'm going to try some of these Safe Mode options and see if they help maybe there is some corrupt data taking up space on my HDD that I can't see.
I also have a question. What do you do when your PlayStation turns up and shows the cannot start screen. Do you do the rebuild database and will that help with restoring the ps3 itself.
How long does it take for a rebuild data base in the preparing please wake mode how long does that last to the preparing please wake goes off or lower back on I just learned it it should be on Guinness world record how long prepare and please wait before it comes out of it anybody know longest wait time should be?
I Know I Comment A few Years To Late. But I Have A Problem. Does I Need the Original Ps3 Controller, because I Have One from a Other company and It get "stucked" at The Place Please Turn Your Controller On and Klick The Ps Button

My ps3 isn't allowing me to go into safe-mode. As I began to hold down the button for the first 3 seconds, the light flashes white, and then yellow. I'm assuming its fried. Not to mention it's a 1st generation console. Any advice on repairing this would be very helpful. Thanks
I want to downgrade from a 120-gig hard drive back to my 80 gig hard drive. Is it possible to use the system update from my flash drive for that option?
Everytime i turn off my PS3 it deletes all of my saved game data, and doesn't let me open up the PlayStation Store. I already lost all of my saved game data because I restored the system, but now I can't even restart games.
I got to the safe mode screen. Selected option 3 then got told there wasn’t sufficient data. Couldn’t back out to get another option now I cannot get onto safe mode again
I cant delete my corrupt data and i did restore file system and rebuild database but its stuck saying preparing please wait its reall pissing me off someone please help.
(From future) I found my old ps3 slim and it had corrupted data so I did the steps and step 3 was very useful because I deleted games likeminecraft and Call of duty when I was a kid
Help whenever im updating my ps3 games like gta 5 and call of duty black ops 1 it stops because an error occurred during the download operation. (800233E7) :(
I ended up restoring the ps3... Im pretty uspset about it... I lost years worth or Elder Scrolls (4 and 5) days of little big planet, my infamous storyline... and so many others... not to mention movies and music... this is a sad day....
I bought a ps3 a couple days ago. It has this thing called ps3hen on it. I thought it was a part of the thing but it turns out it’s a mod. I don’t have a pc to get it out. Idk how imma get rid of the mods.
When I press Restore Detabase its fine then I press "YES" its fine but then when it says "preparing...please wait" it is loading for ever or its stuck please help or reply
for everyone out there who has done safe mode is it recommended that i do this? I recently have notice that one of my dvds have been acting weird on me. So should i try safe mode out?
My problem: My ps3 shows the game disc on the xmb, then I enter the game (MGS4) I load my save and then the game crashes and restarts. After It won’t show the game anymore. Btw It happens with every single game that I have
I dis try restore file system last night and it didnt work. I left it on all night and stayed on the same screen. Edit: Btw, I was stuck on the "preparing please wait" screen :/
I am deaf. So all I'm doing is turning my system on and off repeatedly. No menu. Wish they thought to put visual cues into the lights such as fast beeps and slow beeps so those of us with bad hearing could know what to do.

So like when i hold it dowm i heqr two beeps and the 3rd beep it turns off my ps3, yes ik im very late😂but help please
My ps3 isn't allowing me to go into safe-mode. As I began to hold down the button for the first 3 seconds, the light flashes white, and then yellow. I'm assuming its fried. Not to mention it's a 1st generation console. Any advice on repairing this would be very helpful. Thanks
Can't access safe mode help Sony I don't know why held onto the power button and no second beep
I want to downgrade from a 120-gig hard drive back to my 80 gig hard drive. Is it possible to use the system update from my flash drive for that option?
Everytime i turn off my PS3 it deletes all of my saved game data, and doesn't let me open up the PlayStation Store. I already lost all of my saved game data because I restored the system, but now I can't even restart games.
Bro my controller is fine but when it tell me TI cinnect usb cable to controller and press PS button it doesn’t connect
i cant figure out how to do the whole download even watched the video typed in what it told me too and it didnt pop it up
Is it bad to restore file system if I had my ps3 modded ? ( Hen )
I got to the safe mode screen. Selected option 3 then got told there wasn’t sufficient data. Couldn’t back out to get another option now I cannot get onto safe mode again
I cant delete my corrupt data and i did restore file system and rebuild database but its stuck saying preparing please wait its reall pissing me off someone please help.
(From future) I found my old ps3 slim and it had corrupted data so I did the steps and step 3 was very useful because I deleted games likeminecraft and Call of duty when I was a kid
Help whenever im updating my ps3 games like gta 5 and call of duty black ops 1 it stops because an error occurred during the download operation. (800233E7) :(
What your controller isn't a ps3 controller but is compatible (ps4 controller)
won't work I just tried.
Thank you so much you solved me a big problem 😊😘😍
i did restart system (number 1) and its taking a LONG TIME after i pressed X to enter. Is that normal???
I ended up restoring the ps3... Im pretty uspset about it... I lost years worth or Elder Scrolls (4 and 5) days of little big planet, my infamous storyline... and so many others... not to mention movies and music... this is a sad day....

I bought a ps3 a couple days ago. It has this thing called ps3hen on it. I thought it was a part of the thing but it turns out it’s a mod. I don’t have a pc to get it out. Idk how imma get rid of the mods.

So if the system constantly get stuck at 99% from update 4.81 which option do i use?
for everyone out there who has done safe mode is it recommended that i do this? I recently have notice that one of my dvds have been acting weird on me. So should i try safe mode out?
My problem: My ps3 shows the game disc on the xmb, then I enter the game (MGS4) I load my save and then the game crashes and restarts. After It won’t show the game anymore. Btw It happens with every single game that I have
I dis try restore file system last night and it didnt work. I left it on all night and stayed on the same screen.
Edit:
Btw, I was stuck on the "preparing please wait" screen :/
