TheSixthAxis does not condone piracy and does not recommend the modification of your console – doing so is against the Terms of Use of the console and is possibly illegal. Seriously, there will always be those who get a kick out of circumventing security measures the challenge of cracking what is perceived as the uncrackable sublimely attractive.įor the rest of us, be aware that you not only risk losing your PS3 altogether (either now or in the future when your CFW may be detected) but will likely spend more time updating and tweaking your console rather than what it’s actually intended for: playing games. Then all you have to worry about is Uncle Sony nuking your PS3 from orbit. Sure, it’s early days yet and, who knows, it’s very likely the hacking community will iron out these issues and create a safe, robust custom firmware. The coding elite over at NeoGaf, watching from the sidelines as the nightmare of PS3s dying around the hacking world unfolded, have chimed in, warning interested parties of the inherent perils of going rogue.Īpparently the guy who made this messed with lvl2 to make it accept a bigger payload, this is why random consoles are killing themselves. Or to put back the original hard-drive.I’m sorry for all the consoles that have died, this was unexpected :S Those that choose to reformat and wipe out all data are then left with "The data is corrupted" errors and a console that doesn't work.įor these users, the only solution is to wait for firmware 3.57 and hope that Sony issues a fix. When people with the affected Slim models (with upgraded HDDs) install the firmware, they are told that their hard-drive is corrupt. As expected, the latest firmware has already been cracked and Sony's latest security efforts were easily defeated (something that can't be avoided unless Sony issues new hardware), but the side-effects of the patch appears to be causing problems for those that didn't even install the custom firmware.
Sony designed the PS3 to allow users to upgrade the hard-drive themselves, without voiding the warranty.īut it appears the latest firmware, which was released to combat the recent leak of the master key for the console. Reports are coming in that people with newer models of the PS3 Slim, and who have upgraded the hard-drive in the console, are experiencing "The data is corrupted" errors which prevent their PS3s from working again.
