@@Urmomsbedishere this happened back in august 2022 and on the last day of the month i just factory resetted my console and it worked perfectly fine and it still does now thanks for asking
That won’t work for mine, mine just restores and freezes on a black screen right after. Keeps happening every time. Every time I boot it up it will say it needs to restore again. I think I should just restore the whole ps3
if your stuck on restoring you need to format your ps3 using restore ps3 system you should do it in recoverymode hold power button until it off then hold it again it will beep twice wait for the fast 2 beep
My PS3 had the same issue where it would get stuck at 4% then a black screen so what I did is went with option 5 and myconsole works great. It did delete everything FYI.
I remember doing this on my new ps3 because my old one froze and I didn’t want to loose my data because i have no access to my old parents email lmao, so now I think im going to reset it to play mw3 again

Doing this right now hope it works as smooth as in the video
