as this won't work and might render your system unbootable. DON'T use the tools i provided with the homebrew enabler (HEN/HAN). As of 2-6-2020 it is not possible to jailbreak a superslim console or one of the newer slims. Without this key you wont be able to decrypt the harddrive. Ok so sadly for this part you will need to Jailbreak your PS3 system to get the encryption key of the harddrive. If all of these options freeze or are stuck at prepairing for more than 6 hours (just to be safe) and or show no HDD activity light whatsoever then you may go and try the things i did. Then try option 3 & 4 for restoring the file system and rebuilding the databaseĪnd at last option 6 for updating the console. It's not worth it losing everything over a small mistake!īut first i need to know if you have tried absolutly everything in the savemode menu: This is for if you make your ps3's drive unbootable and you want to revert to the copy. PLEASE make sure to make a copy of the old ps3's HDD in sector by sector mode. Let's get our data back! Im not going to sit through the 150+ installs on the playstation 3! And lose allot of progress in my game saves! The appropriate system storage was not found. Well obviously no! well when you click no you get the message: Cannot start. All data on the system storage will be deleted during formatting.

Whatever i did, it would always crash land at 28% to a message saying: "An error occurred during the restore operation.

So before i transfer the data i went to the savemode menu on the old ps3 to click on restore filesystem and when that process was done i clicked on rebuild the storage database. Ok so to not confuse you i will use the names: my old ps3 & my new ps3. Old ps3 (1tb harddrive) -> new ps3 (1tb harddrive) and the idea was that i would use the PS3's built in system transfer tool to transfer all my data to the new ps3. I even didnt feel like replacing the disc drive itself! Instead i chose for the more expensive option: i bought a new hdd and a new PS3 System. So at first i thought my blueray laser was failing, and from experience i knew i didn't like replacing these disc-lasers. Here is a video of a funny artifact in action: (i started replaying rockstar games for fun and as a time killer in the covid-19 house arrest) Fast forward a couple of weeks and my system started showing artifacts in sys-intensive games like the GTA series and red dead redemption. No worries there as it booted up correctly and i could play games perfectly too. i got the standard "the files may be corrupted" message because the system wasn't shut off correctly. Okidoki let's get started! So what happened? well my PS3 Hard-froze in the PSN-Store and i had to manually reboot the system. So to get myself more familiar with my ghost-blog setup i decided to make an article on how i saved my save-data of my 1tb PS3 system.
