i ended up just putting in a new drive. after taking out the old one to test a different one, it wouldn't read the old one without formatting. oh well!

I'm unable to get to the XMB as the console freezes within 10-15 seconds of me starting it up (usually around the time I reach the user selection screen)

just tried another (freshly formatted, fat32) one with the same results.

hmm... looks like it freezes when i hit system update in the recovery menu. i've got the update file in the right place and it's named correctly.

...oh wait, this just requires doing a system update from the recovery menu? haha, i'm dumb. thank you

it's not possible to do this without formatting the hard drive, correct? if there's absolutely no other option, i'm fine with that, but i just wanted to check.

"How to Use (Summary by kozarovv) General rule is to install psn patch ----> run ----> go to toolbox (select) ----> install psnpatch plugin. After that restart your PS3." I followed the guide here step by step. Didn't change anything.

I recently updated to 4.81.2 rebug and installed the latest version of psnpatch. However, after installing the plugin, the PS3 freezes about 10 seconds after I start it up. It does not freeze in recovery mode. Is restoring to CFW and deleting my data the only way to fix this?
