MarkoFPS Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I had to restore file system. But it has been over hour now and it's only at 6%, how long does it take to restore file system? Should I let it restore for about 24 hours or something? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoBomb Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Maybe it depends on the space of your files. It might take a real while Edited October 27, 2013 by BrunoBomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoreTheVictim Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Ehm.. that doesn't sound good... at all. I have never had that, it usually takes me a few minutes, at max. You mean the restore file system you need to do when you quit a game the wrong way and it reboots and upon rebooting it begins restoring, right? Or do you mean the one you start from the safe menu options? Both shouldn't take any longer than 5 minutes, what PS3 system do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the longest restore file system was hour and half past year in august when the lights went off when I was playing inFamous 2, but everything went alright. The PS3 still has heart functioning correctly (processor running good for the informatic guys like me) But maybe you're right it can depend on the system the user has.

I had that problem few days ago but I was able to hit circle and skip it. It was caused by blackout while updating Dust 514. The one when you start PS3 and you need to restore file system, tried from safe menu but it just says "Please Wait... Loading" Super Slim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I'm impatient and quit a game not right and it reboots to restore file system it always says it will take about 2-3 hours but it never does. It's kinda hard to say it's bad but can't say if it's good either. But if it gets stuck on loading it can't be good. I'll have to leave this for the experts, there should be others around here who are more capable of helping you. Have you tried making a phone call to Sony yet?

MoreTheVictim Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Great, had to start from 0% again, cause dad just shutted it off cause it was just running. Tell your Dad to never touch your PS3 again. Sorry to put it this way but sometimes the older generation doesn't realize the impact it can have on our PS3's when they get turned off in the middle of an important process. They shouldn't touch it when they don't know how it works. You don't see us turning off the TV while our Dads are watching an important soccer game. Or messing with Dad's car for no reason. nope There should be a Finnish phone number. If not, they're jerks, because Finland is AWESOME! I don't think you should call to the UK Sony number, it can cost you a lot of money and Dad won't be happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, funny thing about that, Finland is my neighbour country, I choosed Finland cause there wasn't Estonia in country selection. Maybe I will contact Sony through their website.

BeautifulTorment Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Sounds like your PS3 is royally messed up. This process only takes a couple of minutes. What your dad did definitely did not help, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowwindow7 Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 it never taken me this long to restore system files, my connection lately is going supper low and crazy, and so sometimes when i browse the web using my ps3 the slow connection'll cause my ps3 to freeze when open a multiple windows and keep them all loading at the background while working on another website and when it froze and i reboot my ps3 it may ask for sending a report to sony to notice the issue and then goes to the restore system files screen..... it takes only a few minutes! or 1 hour if it takes long.

Helyx Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Not sure if anyone already mentioned this, but NEVER let your PS3 try to fix itself after a hard reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorajet Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Last time I had to do this it took 1 hour. After an hour it still wasn't done, gave it another 30 minutes and then hit . Rebooted and it was back to normal. That is what happened to me. Had someone else on this site that had the same thing, he hit after 2 hours and then rebooted. Happy ending.
