Unfortunately, I had to pick option 5 and "nuke" the system to get it started again. The progress bar was stuck at 8 percent for 30 minutes. But at least the problem resolved itself.
That's funny! The only thing is that I had to perform the option on my brother's PS3. But he has a PS4 now. I wonder what his reaction would be once I tell him?
Thank you so so much! I couldn't play black ops for several months, as it just didn't start. I searched through many sites and videos and this is the only one that worked :)
Thank you man I was so mad in the beginning when my game kept freezing now I know why 😂 thank you man I will refer this video to anyone I know who has this problem
TO EVERYONE STUCK ON PREPARING: This process can take a long time depending on the amount of data you have on your PS3 - so Relax, if it takes too long then cancel it out and try deleting some of your unwanted data - then try again.
Video Cutting. When you watch a movie and someone moves the camera, that would be filmed at a later time (unless they were drunk and did it back to front)
I don't understand why this is happening, supposedly rockstar is doing this to ALL console users online bcuz too many modders. sucks bcuz I never modded and it affects me.
Hello I have a problem Yesterday I was going to delete GTA v to get wwe 2k14 but then the PS3 froze . I had to close it and when I opened it again the gta v save file was gone but didn't get any gb from it and can't play wwe 2k14 or gta v plz respond
Dudeeee you pretty dope man, thank you Very much bro, I tried option 3 but It was a stuck for a min so I decided to go with Option 5 five and it works awesomely. Thank you , it had been a while man dammmmm thanks dudeee.
Yesterday, my MC world got corrupted after my ps3 froze out of nowhere. I had no choice but to restart the ps3. There's nothing that I could've done differently to stop it from happening. It was the fault of the ps3 continuously crashing at the wrong times. I then backed up my other worlds onto my flash drive, but it was already too late for the corrupted world. Trying to fix it by going to restore file system from safe mode on the ps3 did not work at all. It did nothing for me whatsoever. It doesn't make sense, because it should've worked. I have 2 different kinds of corrupted saves on my ps3, that should've gave it more reason to work, but it didn't. My favorite MC world is now GONE for good!! 😠 All because of a dumb random issue with my stupid ps3!! 😣 And just so you know, part of my life wasn't the same after it happened. I was extremely depressed for the rest of the whole day. Why? Because that world that was corrupted JUST SO HAPPENS to have been my own self made neighborhood+town I made from scratch, and all alone. 😫 It was for me, and my friends. And it took near HALF A YEAR to make all of it, and get as far as i was!! 😞 That's enough to make somebody want to wreck their tv/room/house, but I didn't wreck anything though. I was just extremely sad... 😟
Thanks for the video I was trying to play gta5 but for hours the screen would just say loading story mode and it never worked. But thanks to you my PS3 actually works
@@Tis-I no, i did lose my save, because the energy at my house went out in the little moment of auto save and corrupted my data, in my effort in trying to bring it back i found this. If you're wondering if i blame the one who made the video, absolutely not, why would i. Just got mad at the situation. I genuinely was thanking, not sarcastic... long story, my bad
Last night while i was playing PES....it suddenly stuck....i turned it off and on several times but it didn't recover.......i'll follow these steps one by one....and God be with us!!!!🙂👍
Tried it with a corrupted world save in Minecraft. Didn't work. It's due to a bug in Minecraft for PS3, PS4, and Xbox 360. DO NOT PURCHASE Minecraft for console!! This bug has been around for over 2 years, and the developer has no intention of fixing it! The world you've working on building for so many hours can be corrupted at any time. They don't know what causes it. But thank you uploader for the suggestion.
Wanted to send a message but I don't know where to find that option. In madden 25 it says "attempted file was deleted or damaged" for my franchise save file 😫. I tried this trick but it didn't work. Would you have any other suggestions? Thank you for this video!
My Batman: Arkham City game keeps stopping and telling me that the game data is corrupted, I’m very thankful for this video’s existence, but I don’t think it’s working on my game lol
Dear Vinyl About 2 days ago my brother was on a game and then it says it was overheating and it made a really loud noise, he gets off the game and shuts down the PS3, it was still making that loud noise so our dad pulled the plug on the wall, next time we go on the PS3 it comes up with the thing to recover lost data after it is clicked it says “Restoring… Do not turn off the system” but every time it gets to 48-49 percent the screen goes black and then it comes on again with the same question to recover data, it only gives one option “click X” we are all too scared to click anything else, we are very fond of our game progress, what should I do? 😰
I am currently playing Assassin's Creed IV on PS3 and I only have one mission left until it is finished, then suddenly a blackout occurred in my house, I came to open the system again and when I tried to load my game, it said Damaged Save Data. What do I do?
I tried recovering my corrupted data for Naruto ultimate ninja storm ,but it keeps freezing at 28% when installing it. After a couple of minutes later, a message appears saying that the game is corrupted and that I have to exit out the game. :/
Ok so I was entering bo1. It said "reading hdd", but while that was happening, my sound didn't work so I had to change the output settings, then it said " to do this, you must quit the game." So I did while it was reading the hdd and then it got corrupted. I decided to reinstall bo1 to see if anything changed, but nothing changed. I just hope this works
My ps3 comes up with "The file system on the system storage is corrupted and will be restored" an once it loads a black screen comes up on goes straight back to it how do i fix it without deleting movies pictures ,songs ??
yo.. my PS3 Won't go to main menu. I go to the restore menu or whatever.. you hold the power button down and wait for three beeps.. and ANYTHING I SELECT it says Preparing... please wait. and nothing. it does nothing.
Its not a fix all - it recovers what it can from it.
