PS3 Recovery Menu

One of the undocumented features in PlayStation 3 Firmware 2.50 is the recovery menu. If your PS3 fails to load the XMB, with the PS3 off, hold down the power button for 10 seconds until you hear three beeps. Press the PS button on the controller and the recovery menu will load. Use the recovery menu to unbrick your PS3 by installing a firmware update or preforming other actions.

Hey man I need a little assistancce, one of my games have corrupted data, wich option in the recovery menu can help me? THANKS

[XTREMEPSPDOTCOM]

@andyblueful You can't use the recovery menu to fix gamesave data. You may not be able to recover this data if its corrupted. You should contact the game developers for support.

When i do full restore mode its deletes the 3.56 Firmware to???

[XTREMEPSPDOTCOM]

@KurtlarVadisi000 It won't delete the firmware, it will re-install it so your console is still usable.
