For those of you that pressed option 3 like in the video and are experiencing "Preparing please wait" for what seems like eternity, do not despair. Press option 5, it will however delete your data and restore factory settings. If you have PS Plus then you should be ok in regards to restoring game saves.
thanks mate i just got given a ps3 this week by a fam member to go along with me 360 it had no hard disc etc so been sat here all week waiting for bits of ebay to come, finally my hard disc drive turned up about hour ago and i put it in turned it on nothing , after 10 mens of swearing etc , i decided to youtube the issue with in 2 mins of finding this vid all the above steps you said about safe mode worked straight away and now im just updating my ps3 with a new update well chuffed , thanks for taking the time to do these vids mate it makes a difference , you have a extra subscriber from england now mate ,
Well this taught me to watch multiple videos before trying stuff. The other video basically restarted my whole PS3
Yea and I done the same and lost all my music videos and pictures now I'm pissed right of
@@FR33PIZZABOY so u can’t get all that back after doing this? Is it to late?
I nearly flipped out when non of my saves were working on any of my games thanks I got them back
How did u get them back I'm still struggling
Thank you for taking your time and effort it was very helpful happened to me a few times thank you for the great lession
thank you so much dude, this helped me a lot.
It is a good idea before you do anything in the PS3 safe menu to use the Backup Utility in the PS3 System Settings to backup all your data to an external drive. How long this takes depends on how much data there is. My 160GB PS3 Slim at about 70% full takes about 4-5 hours to backup.
I do a backup like this every 6 months or so.
Wait, so it's possible when you delete ur datas without any PSN account to get it back?
Omg gotta try it out Resident Evil 5 made me erase it accidentally because i didn't understood the questions
Edit: Nvm u say u do a backup every 6 months💀
Still gonna try to see
9 years later, tnx man
Save data is like virginity. you can't recover it. When it's gone, it's gone.
Is there any way to recover a deleted user that was not the main PSN account?
jonathan collier i tried some GTA 5 thing for freezing I got the older ps3 model its impossible to delete data accidentally
jonathan collier yup I tried it, it never deletes it even if I unplug the power cable anything, the classic disk tray you push a button or pull it open, the cover I meant
Its work in ps3 fat or not
NO
NO WAY
RESIDENT EVIL 5 MADE ME ERASE ALL MY DATAS ON MY 2 MEMORY CARD BECAUSE I DIDN'T UNDERSTOOD THE QUESTIONS THE GAME ASKED ME
SINCE, I WANNA FIND THE FILES AGAIN
FROM 2014
IT'S SUCH MEMORIES AND I NEED IT
I LITERALLY FINISHED CARS 2 BEFORE
SO MANY FILES ON SONIC ADVENTURE
AND OTHER GAMES
MY PROGRESS
Thank you this really helped me.
Thank you so much dude. It helped me a lot..💙💯💥
Thank you so much man you saved my day
thank you so much, i accidentally spilt coffee all over my PS3 and it had all the families baby photos and first steps on it, and they got corrupted, but after doing this they all came back thank you so much!!
Why would you spill coffee on your ps3?
@@Jok3rSmilee by accident
would you be able to recover game saves if you mistakenly restored files? or are you screwed once the deed is done?
Dude, thank you so far so good. I was getting ready to take my PS3 apart...whew 😊
Omg it works hard but worked totally deserves a sub thanks bro!!!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I was afraid I was going to have to wait hours for the normal Delete system to remove the corrupted file.
HeStoleMySocks yeah right I have ALOT of game data on there😂😂
i don’t know if i can press number 3 does it delete your data when you press number 3?
If I might've listen to this, I could still have my game data right now
Same 😔
thanks homie this worked now I can use my PS3 again
if I'm unable to use/see the items I've downloaded from a dlc ..... will restoring file system or rebuilding database fix that problem... ?
NAYRA I don't think...
Thank you!! Your existence is for a reason
thanks bud it works had no friends no game data did that everything is back right on
You let go at 3 beeps but thank you it still helped !
Cheers !
Mines just takes soo long to load even after following the instructions in this video right after when the thing finished his ps3 loaded up and said press ps button however, mines said that but was loading for a good few minutes and this always happens when I turn my ps3 on it either takes forever or it freezez someone please help :( btw I have a super slim
When I was playing Lego Batman, the system froze during a save. Now my ps3 won't read any discs. I unplugged everything and let the system cool down and it read the disc temporarily, but again won't read anything and makes an eject sound. I tried tilting the system up, down, and sideways and nothing works. Is this a hardware issue?
Probably is, try sending it to a repair shop they might be able to figure out what happened or they'll replace the Blu Ray
Thanks man I needed to know how to reset the setting cause it said it had a storage error
2, 3, 4 mainly do not work but restoring the PS3 System mostly works. It fixes most of the corrupted files and freezes.
pressing the ps button will does not get me to the nest screen. all the red lights just flash. the plug still works for recharging. wtf?
same
Can you Get a deleted account back with this method?
krashed I need to know this as well
no you cant
Yesss thank you so much it works now my game won't have bugs or any problems
Thanx for the vid I was having issue did this and it worked fine afterwards.

Cullen Greenleaf me 2

Same
Me too
For me it's been saying Preparing for over 10 minutes now. What should I do?
same here
I waited 20 min... then went to try and Rebuild. Doing the same thing. Just Preparing..............
It's been 1 1/2 hours for me
I had to Restore System. Luckily I had saves backed up with my plus account. Had to reinstall everything.
I'll do the same since I have plus you, and how long did it roughly take?
my game froze the console and I held the button down and got the same file system corrupted restoring but it's taking over 7 hours. I'm worried it's actually reformatting the entire console, because I didn't go through safe mode just followed what it said after turning it back on. Can I interrupt it and definitely go into safe mode to be sure?
I ended up having to reset everything :( then redownload my netflix,hulu,amazin and ps home..:( I lost stuff...
Did you lose games you bought?
@@khaleekitty3888 ofc not, just redownload them
Put my ps3 into safe mode and pressed option 3 (Restore File System). After pressing "yes" (i.e. I'm sure with going through this procedure) this procedure has currently been on a black screen which says "Preparing...Please wait." I was just wondering how long it takes to restore file system as I'm worried that there maybe something wrong with my ps3 and the restore file system has just frozen. However, there is a little 'circle' on the top right corner of the screen which keeps going round and round. If anyone who comes accross this post knows the answer to my question, can u reply A.S.A.P. Please, if you guys could, it would be bery much appreciated.
Same problem =(
Any update to this? Been months, solve anything? Wish I backed up all my stuff.
I had to restore my PS3 system. It erased everything but got it to work again. Had to redownload games and start all over. I purchased a USB drive where I backup everything in now.
***** cool. Thank you. I'm trying to rebuild, but at least if I go that route, most of my saves are in the cloud and psn had my downloads. Just not sure about free games for ps+ will still be available. In the morning I'll try. Thanks again!
Fleurdelis Leon Its a Virus maybe, I tried to reset my council cuz GTA froze aaaand I never lost even 0.01% of my data

hi i got a question about the process, i got a 150 gb disk with about 143gb used and i did a system restore due to black screen, but it seen stuck at preparing.... please wait, that was about 30 minutes ago so i was wondering how long would it normally take for a disk that full to finish preparing?

The restoring part is the issue when I turn my ps3 on it gives me no options just make me restore I click ok I haven't lost any data it just makes me restore it gets done at 100% Then guess what It stays on a black screen I really need help man please any please reply
Paul, you need to do is click reset. It will delete your account, but you can get your account back. First you need to do is-click reset, then it will take you to the home screen, then make an account but click the one under it, the I already have an account. Then just put in your user, and then put in your password, or will it will show email, and password, then ill say "Please confirm your gmail." Well I hope the advice ill work. :)
Thanks so much your the best
I downloaded a mod for GTA 5, and it reset everything on my ps3 including files. Do I have to do the same method you did to fix it? IM PANICKING!!!
What happens to the ofw when Formatting a PS3??? does it become 1.0 when you format or does it save a "safe" updated version of the console ie flash mem or something like that? I'm still pretty new to PS3
Thanks this really helped me out
I was trying to get a mod menu for gta but says this operation cannot be complete or something do u know how to fix that?
My screen has been paused on the "preparing please wait" for over an hour is there something else I can do? Clearly this will not work
if you restore the file system on ps3 does it will delete everything ?
Thanx a lot tat really helped 👍🏼
I'm restoring it & Ive been in the restoring process for 2 hours. Its on 9%.
thank God my PS3 worked:)
Thanks. You saved me ps system
I needed to do this when Dragon Age Inquisition froze during an auto save. Grrr. Thanks!
Quick question, after you finish restoring the file system, do all the ps3 game save files will be gone?
I'm currently having a problem with an overheating message, where the message pops up after about 5-10 minutes, then turns the system completely off. Do you think that doing this may be able to solve this problem?
Oh yes thanks a lot u saved my PS3 all my story modes are gone but I only play online so it's fine
Jean Trinidadnext time u backup ur data on a usb flashdrive before ...
Doesn't work if you're having the error 800F1F9 (wich keeps the console in a update loop because the wifi/bluetooth component is fried)
If you factory reset the ps3, can you restore it to get game progress back?Also does the ps3 account keep the Game progress on it?
does it also help restore account data as well like if you sign out an forget password
Thanx ready helped bro
Am I out of safe mode after all of this? Because I have stars behind my other profiles too.
Thank you very much for your help
thx dude gta 5 works and u get a Sub :DD
What if you already deleted the corrupt save data? Would it be 2 late to recover it? Cant find a way to login to my online cloud storage
