(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Hye Guys, Today I bought two PS3's off some guy, he sold them both to me for just 70 dollars, no idea why he did it so cheap, even though they're faulty. One has YLOD (Not the one I need help with) and the other, which i need help with, was stuck in the Endless Update Loop today, I did some stuff, followed many tutorials, and now wen the system starts, it doesn't go to the attempt of reinstalling the firmware, it just turns itself off after five seconds, NOT YLOD, and I can finally go into recovery mode though, but its practically useless, if I try to restore system, it goes black screen for a bit, then turns itself off, if i try system update, it just stays on 'Checking' FOR ages, and yes I do have the correct firmware in the correct folders on my USB, and it just stays on that, I try to 'Rebuild Database', but it comes up with 'Error Occurred', I try anything in the recovery menu and practically nothing happens successfully. Anyone know how I can get this up and running again!? I will pay 200,000 vBux to anybody that successfully assists me.

Phone Sony, they would be able to tell you what to do on the phone

They'd probably tell me to send it to them for money.

Worth a try though isn't it? If they say send it in just say no thank you then put down the phone.

Yeah that's true, worth the try I guess. Hopefully someone still posts here potential fixes.

1) Try 5) Restore PS3 System from the Recovery Menu
2) Try a different Hard Drive. This one might be corrupted to shit.
3) I'll try to think of more options

If not try a different hard drive from one of your other PS3's. Then if it works you know that the PS3 isn't fucked up.

Does the same thing..... Hmmm.....

Phone Sony see if they can help you.

I'll have a look for some tuts to try



This may help too

Very long shot, but are you sure the firmware updates were finishing. Try a different power cord if possible, very long shot but MAY work. Still thinking :confused:
