Where to start???

Post by Cocotte »

Automatically translated from French.

Hello everyone

So I just got a PS3 Fat 40Go Version 3.55, so that's the situation

There's some stuff on it, Music, Games

Music => I'll spare you the details
Games => Open Manager
PS3KEY loader
Backup Manager
and some demos

I wanted to know if I can format it and reset it to factory settings, to tackle your tutorial for the hack on a clean and healthy base!

Also do you have info on this PS3, can I also play PS1 and PS2 games?

thanks for your help, this is where I get to experience what it's like to become a noob again ;)

Hi there, yes of course you can format it without any worry, starting fresh on a clean and healthy base is a very good initiative, don't forget to follow the tutorial to the letter and above all take your time, nothing is complicated but every step is important, come give us a little update once it's done, cheers

ps: for ps1 games (to be checked) for ps2 games it's impossible on this model, only backward-compatible consoles are able to read the original PS2 games, this has been repeated time and time again

Yes zinzin I'm cheating on my little white one with a big black one!

Well it's not going as smoothly as that grrrrr

the formatting perfect in 2h29 ......

So I move on to the tutorial and there during the installation of the update error 8002F155 so for now I'm following it and I'm going to turn the PS3 back on and see what happens.

Edit: I just retested and now error 8002F14E

I forgot to mention that the drive and the daughterboard aren't the original ones, if that matters I wanted to point it out.

which update? you were already on 3.55 you should have gone directly to installing the cfw in recovery mode, then 2h30 for a format is there an issue did you do it in extra slow mode? in fast mode it was very good I don't understand well anyway

ah yes then you should have specified that indeed, I think you won't be able to do an update unfortunately, you absolutely need the original daughterboard, there's a way to make a non-original drive be recognized, check if anything's unplugged inside a ribbon cable etc... I'm looking into it for you right away

try this, but since you can't update, I doubt you can downgrade, anyway, can you get back the original drive and daughterboard?

check if your drive is properly connected that's where it's coming from, otherwise it's because it's not the original one and then you won't have many solutions

hi,
if I were you I'd replace this HDD which has had its day (the 40gb toshiba heats up a lot *it became my external hdd)

replace it you'll be all the happier.... *that rhymes!
history of my ps3, 40gb to 320 to 640....!

For the hard drive I recommend one that doesn't heat up much...
example scorpio blue... or another one so as not to name a brand!
