How To Go To The PS3 Secret Recovery Menu

[gaditas008]

WWooow thanks man! i found!

[VirtualSportzCenter]

I don't think this will work if you are connected with HDMI cable, correct?

[AmmoBug]

@VirtualSportzCenter i think that's true because it didn't work out with HDMI but it did with AV...

[SnipeDown99]

Thank u so much

[LethalTeknyque]

it ain't working with me i do the beeps steps then it still say Cannot start. the correct hard disk was not found. any idea what i should do now?

[mjclrMatt]

I still can't get black ops back:(

[aNewFazera]

I was making a new PSN, then my PS3 froze. I had to unplug it, then when I turned it back on it read "Cannot Start. The correct hard disk was not found." I turned it off by pressing the power button then held the button until it beeped twice to restore it. It didn't work, so I tried going to the recovery menu and it would do the beeping stuff up until it made a double beep, then I still had a black screen. I have a Slim 120GB/Latest FW/RGB Component cables. Help appreciated,

-Fazera.

[mslamendoza01]

i did every thing he said and mine still dont work idk

[habbo0431]

I'm here because I was playing sr3 and WEN I first installed it it sed it was corrupted so I re installed it played it nothing wrong 2 days later thought I might play online went to match making and it deleted my offline data and set it bak to the part were u r guy punches the bank thingy screen

[danielfurrr]

Rather than starting the file restoration, my PS3 says "A serious error has occurred." and doesn't let me do anything.

[WinnipegJetsFan16]

Would option 3 restore corrupt data? I did a restore and my themes, music , ect are corrupt im wondering how to get them back.

[KemoEleven]

@WinnipegJetsFan16 go into account maintenence and "reactivate" the system under teh games/video options, that will fix your themes

[TheWhiteMiner]

mine doesnt beep when i hold the button down

and it shuts off when i hold it for a long time

[ebowwow01]

Okay so mine beeps like it should but I'm not getting a connect controller menu or anything its the same

[THEPERSON405]

mine just shuts off after the second beep

[PSNpepsi843]

@THEPERSON405 yeah it would if you you did it once. first you do it once till it turns off then you do it again and you should hear 2 beeps a few seconds after the first beep

[memduk14]

is this when you have an update error ?

i wanna get back to the menu and when i turn on the PS3 it goes to the update errror

[SeberHusky]

MY OS3 slim freezes up on the firmware update at 63%

8002F14E

I cant do the recovery menu, as the hard drive keeps bringing me to the software update menu.

The recovery menu will only work with firmware 2.50 or above. Thats not true. Also Works with 3.55 and all new firmwares..For those people who dont know

[Benham1988]

@giltomas1 He clearly wrote "2.50 or ABOVE". 3.55 is above 2.50. =P

[giltomas1]

@Benham1988 Oh Yes sorry then my english is not very good.

[IlAnThOnYlI]

@giltomas1 3.55 > 2.5......

[TheMezmerizer1]
