Boot de PS3

Citao:
If you can, I suggest you back up your PS3 first. The menu that you will access
to can fully erase your PS3 if you choose the wrong option! I do not take any re
sponsibility! Please proceed at your own risk! If you read and follow the instru
ctions exactly you should not loose any data! Feel free to ask questions if you
are confused so you dont make a mistake!! Sorry, I had to say it, I dont want anyo
ne mad at me if they make a mistake, dont back up their data and erase it, and th
en blame me
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The current version of the ps3 firmware has a recovery console.
You access it by
1. Start with having the system in standby (redlight is on)
2. Hold the power button down; the system will turn on and turn off once again.
3. Press and hold the power button again and keep holding, it will beep as it tu
rns on and then it will double beep. When you hear the double beeps immediately
take your finger off the power button (if your system turns off before you get a
double beep just try again and hold the button, it should double beep the 2nd t
ime you try)
4. You will be prompted to plug in your controller via USB and then hit the PS b
utton
You will now have a screen with these options
1. Restart System: Restarts the PLAYSTATION3 System.
2. Restore Default Settings: Reset all system settings back to default.
CHOOSE THIS ONE 3.Restore File System: Checks for corrupt/missing system files.
4. Rebuild Database: Rebuilds the OS for the PLAYSTATION3.
5. Restore PS3 System: Fresh restore; Deletes everything and starts from Scratch
.
6. System Update: Update the PLAYSTATION3 System
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO NOT CHOOSE THE WRONG OPTION HERE OR YOU WILL LO
SE ALL YOUR DATA. The one that fixed my blu-ray drive is option 3: RESTORE FILE
SYSTEM
I REPEAT CHOOSE RESTORE FILE SYSTEM
After this, it is going to restart and bring up a screen reading something like y
ou have Corrupted System Data. Your PS will now replace this data Then you choose
continue and that should be it.
This option reinstalls the system files and drivers inside the PS3 with the orig
inal ones that are stored on your hard drive. In this case, it replaced a corrup
ted driver for the blu ray drive thus fixing my issue and hopefully yours!! This
option will only replace all system files thus saving you from loosing any data
thats stored on your hard drive. Again this option does nothing to your hard dri
ve it reads a file from the drive and rewrites it to the PS3 system.
Here is a video of the recovery screen.

If you want a more technical understanding of what this is really doing continue
reading. DO NOT NEED TO READ THIS TO COMPLETE REPAIR. The PS3 does not boot fro
m your hard drive as a computer does. It has a flash memory like a cell phone th
at stores all system files and system firmware updates that you get when the PS3
updates. This is why reformatting your hard drive will not fix your problem, no
ne of the system files are stored on your hard drive (ex. XMB, system firmware,
etc.) nor do they run from the drive. However, your hard drive does contain a fu
ll backup of your SYSTEM files and thus when you choose option 3: RESTORE FILE S
YSTEM it rewrites the original system files from your drive (which arent corrupte
d) back to the flash memory which is corrupted thus fixing the problem.
I HOPE THIS HELPS AND AGAIN DONT HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS!!
Traduo das partes relevantes:
1. Apos ligar o console no botao de tras, segure o botao de power ate ele ligar
de desligar. depois solte o botao e aperte denovo, segurando ate ouvir dois beep
s consecutivos. nesse momento solte o botao. seu ps3 vai carregar o modo de recu
perao (firmware 2.5+)
2. Selecione a opo 3 (se escolher a errada vai apagar os dados do seu hd, por prec
auo e bom fazer um backup antes...)
3. O ps3 vai reiniciar e corrigir os dados corrompidos de firmware, se tiver. Se
tudo der certo, seu ps3 vai estar funcionando normalmente quando for ligado den
ovo...
