Many thanks. I found the only option that actually worked was Rebuild the database. was quick, but, lost All my music, videos and photos. Luckily reloaded from Memory card. Ps3 now working fine, cheers.
Thanx alot my man who woulda known through all these 6 years your still helping people like me out I really appreciate it other peoples videos just show the menu you actually explained it, good shit
I wanted to say thank you, you explained in full detail on how this works. For some reason black ops 2 campaign keeps freezing up I am going to try both of these fixes thank you again
I read all 400+ comments and some said it was in "preparing...please wait" for 53 hours to 8 days, others say to be patient, but never give specifics. I have tried 2 Restore Default Settings - it freezes at "restoring default settings do not turn off system" 3 Restore File System - it freezes at "preparing, please wait" 4 Rebuild Database - it also freezes at "preparing, please wait." 6 System Update - it freezes when I press x So I am left with deleting all of my PS1 and 3 data for Option 5 "Restore PS3 System". I literally worked my ass off to unlock Dr B and everyone in Tekken 3. DAMMIT!!
And I even tried downloading the 4.88 file from the site, which didn't download, so I went to a secondary site and downloaded it as USB/PS3/UPDATE.PUP And...SONOFABITCH!!! They actually misspelled it. It should have been labeled as "PS3UPDAT.PUP". It's missing the "E"!!! I had to rename it because the secondary file had a 488 on it. Damn...I literally just destroyed my PlayStation because some asshole included the typo. And this is literally after I just fixed my PS4 using the USB file known as "PS4UPDATE.PUP" I honestly don't think it would have mattered though. Fix & Replace on the site has a delay message and redirects you to the 488 Update and the PS3 store went down I believe. Good luck to whoever is out there.
thx so much cod was all messed up because storage corruption I didn't know way to do I tried everything my ps3 has low storage only 5000 mb and it took up mainly all of it thx for the help and I hope u get to be happy and famous 1 day
My roommates PS3 was acting up so PS3 I clicked on "Restore File System" since I thought it may be file corruption and EVERYTHING was deleted. Photos, videos, downloads, and game files.
The damn screen @ 4:07 has been the same for me over 12hours both with Restore File sytem & Rebuild Database.Does it mean there is no way in Heaven&Hell for me to recover my ps3 data so I could try and do a data transfer? An answer would be highly appreciated. After almost 8years my 250gb ps3 had the YLOD but it still worked for almost a month & played fine,after attempts to switch it on. It hurts me that I was going to buy a new 500gb model to backup the saved game data and my ps3 got corrupted 2days before the purchase.
To all who have the same problem as I did,I am sorry but I took it to a friend who works at Forestals and with great REGRET the system had to be restored with option5. The ps3 was corrupted in such a way that even by attempting extracting the data from the hard-drive it was unreadable. All saved data on the system was lost, however if you guys are concerned about online data,they aren't erased because they are saved on the game's servers examples The Last of Us,Destiny,GTA.... Friendly reminder to those who have access to "Account Management" on the system remember to DEACTIVATE the ps3 recognition when it uplinks to the internet otherwise you will end up with ONLY 1 remaining psn account availability. A PSN username can only be used/active on 2 separate consoles,should you be very unlucky and 2 different ps3 consoles with you gaming account got corrupted your 3rd attempt of using your PS3 username are probable that they won't give you access to it.
+vikeicezack heyyy...... i have a problem, when i am updating any games (i have fifa 15 n far cry 4) when i click on update it downloads and while installing it stops at some point and then shows corrupted data and shows error code 80029564! plzzzz help
abcdef 1st make a new username side-account on the ps3 being used by you,and start any game you are having problems updating on your main account and see if the upload on the sideaccount goes smoothly. If this side-account game upload succeeds your games on the Main account will be updated as well. However if your games that need the update are downloaded games via the PSN the error is coming from server connection.
my problem is it stays at preparing... please wait. for hours and hours on end for steps 3 and 4. its spinning on the top right but its not giving me any percentage of anything. i just dont know at what point to give up a day? two full days? like shit :/
ok im restoring my file system but its just sayin preparing please wait, now its ben showin dis fo like de longest of time,now will dis help my ps3 an get it back runnin rite? or should i just wait it out n c wat happens?
Thanks man, of all the videos on youtube about this you explain it the best! answered my main question which was DOES IT DELETE YOUR SAVE GAME DATA!! Comma however it did not fix my trophy registration errors.
Hey thanks bro!! I just downloaded the most recent patch of as this date 01-30-14 for BF4 & it wouldn't load. I called EA and that didn't fix it either after 45 minutes on the phone with their tech support. I started searching online and couldn't find anything that mentioned fixing this. I did the restore file system & rebuild database & whola it fixed it!!! I'm sure my system badly needed this since I had never done it. Thanks a lot for the help, this was easy, quick, and best of all it worked! Game on...
How often should you clean your ps3 ? Does just playing use up space in its memory . I had mine for 8 years and lately my controllers keep shutting off and wont charge . I get a message once I plug it in it tells me to unplug a device . Now they aren't working even my broke down old ones .
I tried both options and it didnt work it keeps freezing after I get the 'the system wasnt turned correclty last time' message and I hit restore it just keeps freezing cant get pass the main menu screen
u should not take out the cable if u want to off the ps3 just press power button cuz if u take out the cable something bad will happen and when it says the system wasn't turned off correctly last time press no and do not take out cable again
My Ps3 was running slow, shut itself off, and started rebuilding database on its own. The problem is it gets to 16% and stays there, I waited for a good hour and a half and no budge and I wouldn't want to leave the Ps3 running all night (it had yellow light of death in the past). What should should I do?
I did rebuild database, and it's been saying preparing... Please wait for 40 minutes, what does this mean? How long should I wait? How long did you wait?
I did this to my system, and now it freezes constantly when I switch menus, and every time I turn my system on, it asks me to rebuild my database, any tips to fix that?
Thanks sooo much dude, I played BF3 and it suddenly crashed I freaked out and restarted it and several attempts later my ps3 still didn't turn on and had a black screen so I followed your steps and got it working again I had to do it blindly cause I couldn't see anything , so thanks so much again! ;)
I had this weird thing going on my PS3 when i tried to do my Rebuild Data base. The PS3 should reboot itself after its done "Preparing..." right? Well i had to turn mine off and on... O_O''
Um, well Rebuild Database is when say your PS3 doesnt shut off right and leaves some corrupted data, it may or may not fix this data, in any case you can delete if its unfixable - and Restore Filesystem is just like Defragging a computer.
It fixed the problem on my ps3. The problem was when I put a blueray movie disk from red box it would intermediately lock up during the playback in the previews. During playback in the move, sometimes if I push rewind to what I missed then play, there would be video but no audio then the screen goes black in a couple of seconds then I have to restart the system. I noticed when I"m on netflix, when I scroll through the titles it hang for a second while scrolling I see the hard drive light on. It the first time I ever went to the safe mode and rebuild the database on my ps3 since I bought it new. I did put a new hard drive in my ps3. Stock was a 160gb Hitachi which I put in my old macbook. to a 320gb 5400 Western Digital. that when it started happening. Now when if I put a new hard drive in my ps3 in the future, I will restore my backup then run the ps3 into safe mode then rebuild the database. Thanks very much It really solved my ps3 problem. Take Care.
Stuck on Preparing please wait. *On long does this normally take? I had firmware install and accidentally tried to update to 4.88. I think it's $ucked!
@@slayer9574 Man, I have been looking this up. I heard someone say they waited 9 hours and then it did it really fast, and someone else say 9 days, and I think that is some damn bullshit. I'm about 30 min in, and 99% of the waiters never had such luck. and are still waiting.
I fixed mine. What seemed to work for me was system restore INSTEAD of rebuilding database (the guy explains the differences in the video) I got there through the whole holding down the button thing at first but my controller was not recognized anymore??? So...I kept trying...turning it on and off unplugging dint know what I was doing and the Ps3 screen popped up saying something like "didn't turn off properly, we're gonna go ahead and do system restore" which was faster dint freeze.
Hello, so, If your PS3 is taking a long time to prepare when you choose 'restore file system,' it might be due to a few things. First, if the hard drive has some corruption, the system will take longer to sort things out. This can happen if the console wasn't shut down properly or if there's been an error before. Also, if you're using a large hard drive, especially over 1TB, or if it's almost full, that can slow things down too. Another possibility is that the hard drive might be faulty or starting to fail, which would make it struggle with this process. You could try booting into safe mode and selecting 'Rebuild Database' or 'Restore PS3 System' to see if that helps. Just keep in mind that restoring the system will erase all data on the drive, so make sure to back up anything important first. If it keeps happening, you might want to consider replacing the hard drive.
At first b4 I started to go thru steps regarding the 1beep 2 beep method I was already getting the screen u have at the end of your video but when id choose with the option with controller it would percentage all the way up to 100 and like go black . well after it freezing that way I decided to try the rebuild database , which only to come to screen saying something about no applicable something somtn somtn something. Etc.. So why am I not getting the proper options after following thru the steps? Is there something else I should do .. Oh btw. . I did however take the hard drive out and replaced with another one only to end up with no diffrent results whatsoever.. Any help will be gifted 7fold
I have a wired afterglow controller and when it says connect the controller using a USB cable,and then press the ps button, and when I do with my afterglow controller it doesn't do nothing help me im stuck
Hehe i fixed my ps3 i did restore file system 3 times in about 1 hour and now my console is fast and smooth as hell it doesn't lag or freeze anymore and loadings in xbl and games are just instant
I have the newest type of PS3 and when I select option 3 it doesn't restore my corrupted Minecraft world. It's really annoying me because that world was really good
wait i accidentallydeleted my gt6 data back in 2015 because i thought i ha saved it on a usb but it didnt so i lost all my game progression and my ps3 is broken. i am gonna buy or fix my ps3 and how can i get my data back?
I have a question, I was going to do this to my ps3 rebuilding the database, but my boyfriend said not too because it could erase all saved games? Does it erase all saved games? Restoring file system, does it also affect saved games? That is my question.
I did 'Rebuild Database' at least 2 times. It does NOT erase saved games. Though, it does erase music content, your PS3's Message box, your cache, etc. It does NOT erase saved games. ----> Just saying this... if you choose 'Restore PS3 System,' then yes, it can erase your saved games. Everything actually.... People get confused with these two options.
Please reply to this comment my ps3 super slim keeps turning itself off it is in a well ventilated area I opened it and it seems fine in there i even tried all of the safe mode options and it still turns off I am also out if warranty please help!
Unplug the power cable on your PS3, hold down the eject CD button, and plug in the power cable again. Keep holding the eject button until you hear like a vacuum. This is the PS3's fan cleaning out any dust in the air vents.
I did this but when I started a game and went to load a file it said save data belonged to another user. How do I fix this,is it because my internet is off and I can't log into my psn
does restoring filesystem or rebuild database ever work? its pretty much really damaged if you have to do both, it should just say pick option 5 in safe mode
hey I had a question I was playing madden 25 and I saved my game turned the system off etc ,came back and tried to play same game but I keep getting a message " the file you are attempting to load was deleted or damaged" but it still shows up on the game and on the hard drive.. do you know how to fix this?
Does this process help in recovering the corrupt saved game data files??? I have a corrupt save game data file and unable to continue the game from the last save point. Plz answer
if you play this at 1.5x speed, it sounds like a normal video, give it a try
+GodlikeCat 1.5 is better. Sounds like a human being that isn't wasting my time.

Quick question bro, when i choose restore file system it took too long on the preparing can you tell me why?
Hello, so, If your PS3 is taking a long time to prepare when you choose 'restore file system,' it might be due to a few things.

+Jurr_ Toka press and hold the button until you hear 3 beeps and then you should reset the settings
I have a question, I was going to do this to my ps3 rebuilding the database, but my boyfriend said not too because it could erase all saved games?
Does it erase all saved games?
Restoring file system, does it also affect saved games?
That is my question.
I did 'Rebuild Database' at least 2 times. It does NOT erase saved games. Though, it does erase music content, your PS3's Message box, your cache, etc. It does NOT erase saved games. ----> Just saying this... if you choose 'Restore PS3 System,' then yes, it can erase your saved games. Everything actually.... People get confused with these two options.
nope
No it doesn't
Please reply to this comment my ps3 super slim keeps turning itself off it is in a well ventilated area I opened it and it seems fine in there i even tried all of the safe mode options and it still turns off I am also out if warranty please help!
Unplug the power cable on your PS3, hold down the eject CD button, and plug in the power cable again. Keep holding the eject button until you hear like a vacuum. This is the PS3's fan cleaning out any dust in the air vents.
LuX TGF thank you I am going to try your method right now :D
My ps3 slim is shutting down randomly when playing cod:ghosts multi player...its not overheating or anything....any thoughts as to why?
check your cable on the back of your ps3 that should help
I did this but when I started a game and went to load a file it said save data belonged to another user. How do I fix this,is it because my internet is off and I can't log into my psn

does restoring filesystem or rebuild database ever work? its pretty much really damaged if you have to do both, it should just say pick option 5 in safe mode

Sony should have automated this in the update process.
