I have a 3.55 CFW PS3 which I have managed to put the mods onto. I am using the Major Distribution Mod loader and the game is running from an external back up. However, when I do not use the external back up and I try to use the original GTA disk, the game deletes all my current game data and installs again. This removes the mods and therefore means that I won't be able to data transfer to my OFW PS3 because the disk will begin to install the game as if there was no game data for it in the first place :(

I hope this makes sense, I have tried to explain exactly what happens. Basically, the mods work from an external back up on my 3.55 but I can't get them to work when I use the original GTA disk. Hopefully someone will be able to help. Facepalm

To me it sounds like you have put the .img modded file in the backup of the game instead of in the update. This is probably why it doesn't work when you don't use the backup.

I have put the .img modded file in dev_hdd0/game/BL#S#####/USERDIR/update/update.img (on my external back up) but it seems like it doesn't change the update that is on my console as it will only work with the external backup and when the disk is used instead, no mods will work and the game just re-installs itself. :wtf:

Try removing you external, updating to 1.06(the latest update) then put the modded .img in dev_hdd0/game/BL*S*****/USERDIR/update/ then trying it. Thats what i have done and i transferred it over to my OFW ps3
