Can I Save My Corrupted PS3 Hard Drive? (How to Rescue Data WITHOUT Safe Mode)

Рет қаралды 237,785

5 жыл бұрын

After changing my PSN ID and playing PS3 games online, I discovered Black Ops 2 would freeze every time. This was the straw that broke my PS3's back. That was back in April. Since then, I've put off this data rescue but now is the time. Over the years, many have encountered data corruption. But few know you have more complex repairs beyond safe mode. Today we attempt this in an effort to save all my precious files and memories from my old PS3. Will I succeed?! (Maybe if you watched you would find out, sheesh. Quit lurking the description).

Right after PS Home closed. I pulled out my hard drive and put it into my hard drive dock and saved all my pictures and videos. Saved it all on a backup hard drive.

@wutang6020 4 жыл бұрын

Linda H that's what I was thinking, so could I say attach an eternal hard drive to my PS3 or PS4 via the USB and copy from the internal hdd to the external hdd? I'm not changing my Id but I would just like to have it backed up for any future loss or problems. 👍😉

Dude nice, does that hard drive have PS Home installed? There's a discord dedicated to bring it back, but an offline version (it works on the PS3 emulator RPCS3). They're looking for hard drives with PS Home to get assets off the cache, here's the discord: Project Destination Home (Preservation Project) Discord: discordapp.com/invite/QguSBT3

If your system is jailbreak-able, it's very simple to recover data from a corrupt hard drive. You can dump the EID root key from the console and use that key to decrypt the contents of the hard drive in Windows with PS3 HDD reader programs

To be fair, their system was never designed for name-changes in mind, so it's not really a surprise that old PS3 titles are causing issues. Not sure that there's anything Sony could have done differently to solve that other than having the forethought to give the system name-changing capabilities from the start. If you care about your PS3 stuff, steer clear, but if you mostly just use PS4 and don't care much about PS3 stuff, then It's probably worth the risk.

Bro, I feel your pain. Hard drives typically only have a 10 year lifespan, now that we know this very important deadline, we can prevent data loss in the future. Prevention really is in most cases the only solution, however if you’re into data recovery like I am then you can go a little deeper... since most hard drive failures are a result of a bad sata bridge connection, you could find a duplicate hard drive and swap the pcb as long as it has the same model number, and as long as the discs/reader are functional then you may be able to recover your data.

@esurfrider7687 4 жыл бұрын

Though sometimes it’s not as easy as just swapping the pcb, sometimes you may need to remove a chip from the original and solder it to the new board, so it not really for beginners but research it and you might get lucky

I definitely lost some save data when my PS3 died. I did find some old PS3 saves on my backup HDD, that I restored to my replacement PS3, but there were some notable saves missing on games I know I had completed. So it was an out of date backup. It's always rough losing data though (whatever the circumstances), especially for games with a complete save, one used for a platinum trophy etc. But it's an important, if harsh lesson that teaches you the importance of regular backups. I regularly backup my PS4's saves & captures and I have a backup of my PS3 saves. The only system I really need to backup is the Vita. I currently have PS+ so the saves are backed up to that. But anyone with a Vita can tell you the importance of its backups (via 'Content Manager Assistant' PC software), as for some inexplicable reason Sony decided that when you delete a Vita game install, it also deletes the save files too...

im having the same problem unless if by defect which is what my ps3 says is the same as corrupted but when i press ok it will go up to a hundred procent and then restart but it stayed as a black screen and i couldn't turn the ps3 off no matter what it didn't wanna be turned off but it turned on again saying the exact same thing as before that the filesystem was defect. Can anyone tell me what to do about it.

My ps3 starts up but it has black screen, even i tried it to get it in factory mode with holding the power button but still black screen. I didn't upload my safe files and now i try to recover them...

Any advice when PS3 can't find system storage anymore (not interested in saving the data)? Sounds like hard drive not spinning. Tried popping it out & back in, didn't help. Great vids. Thanks.

Sounds like hardware failure. Might just be the hdd disc controller. Try another drive first to see if it's the console or the disc. ps3specialist.com repairs consoles, but there are a lot of services on line (in the states) that can repair malfunctioning hard drives.

I appreciate this fail video. I was thinking of using the linux "dd" command to clone the discs. Dude works on puters like I do, thanks.

How did you make your hair look fuller? In your psn name change video, your hair looked really thin. Yet here it looks more full and dark.

Love the video! Hard drives are getting cheaper and more durable these days, but they still face the same problems as any other component in your system. If you're having trouble with errors, let us help! We have specialized in data recovery since 2003 and have a success rate of over 96%.

Hi, any chance you can recover data from a PS4 HDD with a console that is playing up? The only way I can get my PS4 to start is by reinitializing but that will mean losing all my saved data.
