(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Okay so I was impatient while downloading some stuff and then I clicked on something and my ps3 froze, so I tried holding down PS3 button to reset, it didn't... and then, being the idiot I am, I switched off the PS3 from the plug...

Now every time I start the PS3 I get the message 'The system was not turned off properly the last time it was used...'
So I rebuilt the database and restored file data thing in safe mode and I still get this message every time I start the PS3. I clicked OK to the message but all it did was restart the PS3 and then show me the same message and this continued on and on until I press circle and exited, it then actually attempted to restore the PS3 but it didn't work because when the PS3 restarted I got the message again.

So I keep getting this message and I know something is corrupt, what do I do?

If I reformat my PS3, I don't have any backups or anything... would I lose my CFW? And should I instead go to 3.55 CFW/OFW and reformat from there and so I can instill QA toggle thing like when you first install CFW?

Please help

PS3 keeps showing 'The system was not turned off properly...' every time I start PS3, if I reformat do I lose CFW??

Can anyone kindly do step-by-step tutorial please?

Thank you in advance.

BTW, I'm sorry if thread is in the wrong place!

I JUST realised this is in the wrong place! I'll repost this thread in the other section, can a moderator kindly delete this? I'm not sure how to. Sorry.

try this pup update through the recovery menu You must login or register to view this content.

What does that do then bro?

as far as i understand what you have said so far, is you have a semi bricked ps3 that you cant use or update the firmware because of no applicable update found error.

well this is a 3.55 downgrader for DEX that should fix your ps3. which you can then upgrade back to the cfw of your choosing.

Thank buddy will try it out and let you know tomorrow, really appreciate your help

your the best buddy appreciate it!!! only man to find a fix for me love you buddy

glad your ps3 is now working

Good man👍
