I have the same issue , stuck at 99%, then reboots. I have tried everything accept the wifi, bluetooth module., I formatted fat32 on both hdd and USB ran in safe mode, option 6, and ran untill 99%. I am going to investigate he wifi module though, what happened with my unit is I updated the unit and the power went off. Mar 31, 2015. #1. Black screen and can't enter safe mode. I've been searching and searching. You can turn it on and off. No video no sound. No hard drive light when you turn it on, but the fan kicks on. You can put a disk in and eject it. Took the hard drive out and put another one still does the same thing. I have connected another ssd to install the update there, but it tells me to press start+select to search for flash drives, and the flash drives don't get recognised by the ps3. I have also tried booting to safe mode, but it didn't work. Tldr; My ps3 got stuck in an update loop and I want to find a way to fix it other than formatting my hdd. Stuck booting in safe mode, don't have an original controller Hi guys. New here, new to CFW (can't believe i lived all these years without it), but been playing ps3 since 2009 lol So, i was installing this store's apk and my screen froze, so i just pressed the standby button to do the normal reset you do when the console gets frozen like that. Im literally stuck in safe mode Also this happened a long time ago whilst i was "trying" to get CFW on my PS3. any help would be appreciated, thanks! comments sorted by Best Top New Controversial Q&A Add a Comment Plug the PS3 back in. Go back to the Safe Mode menu. This time, select the final option: "Restore PS3". This will reformat the Hard Drive and start everything from new. It should only take a few mins to successfully reformat. When the PS3 restarts, you will need to enter the Initial Settings and set everything up again. .
