QUOTE(nerd @ Jul 3 2008, 07:08 PM) I would try to go to Sora's house and try out his PS3 but problem is if his PS3 formats my hard disk, his data will be gone when he puts his hard disk back into his machine. Y would ur friend's (Sora) data be gone if he just unplug his HDD and put it back? No formatting rite? |

QUOTE(acougan @ Jul 3 2008, 07:16 PM) u need the FW ready when you boot with fresh HDD. 60/80GB models can just boot directly. Huh? What do u mean by this? FW on HDD? Boot directly from where? Pls explain further... |

QUOTE(nerd @ Jul 3 2008, 07:26 PM) I just reconnected my HDD back to my PC and found out something very interesting. the HDD was untouched! means the PS3 didn't write anything to it. Meaning ur savegames can be recovered? |

QUOTE(nerd @ Jul 3 2008, 08:00 PM) cannot, as I already formatted it to NTFS beforehand as per the guide Eh, in that case I think ur problem a bit different from most 2.4 problems... US ppl say after formatting and inserting back the HDD the PS3 can boot-up normally into the XMB... that means the FW hasn't been flashed onto the chip, but something in the HDD cache was affected/corrupted, causing the PS3 to hang at startup... I think I can come up with a theory on why the crashes occur - the flash memory was update to 2.40 kernel, but the hard disk remained untouched. hence, the discrepancy caused the PS3 to crash upon start up. this theory is further supported by the fact that even after 'updating' a few times using a freshly-reformatted hard disk, no files were written to it. plus, the PS3 refused to accept any update below 2.40. as for why it crashes PS3s indiscriminately, I'm guessing it's the hard disk brand. Sony has a few suppliers from what I heard. but then again, it could be anything. I'm waiting for a fix that's 100% working to test out. if that doesn't work, something is wrong with the PS3 itself and I'll send it for RMA. Hmm... wonder how will Sony help those who kena this problem... |

QUOTE(nerd @ Jul 3 2008, 08:46 PM) I'm optimistic about the whole thing. hopefully the fix will er, fix it. if it doesn't, there's always RMA. Erm.., u mean there's a possibility of a fix without taking out the HDD, formatting, etc etc? I mean, how is a Sony issued fix (if it's via another FW) going to solve a problem on a PS3 that can't even boot into the XMB and perform a system update? And most importantly, maintain all the saved data on the PS3 HDD?This post has been edited by Pepperboy: Jul 3 2008, 08:59 PM |
