This happens quite often, iirc... Seems there testing-team needs some more talented people.

Every firmware update bricks some, because during the process there always are some that turn off their console or lose electricity and so on.

This one might really have a problem though, as my PS3 doesn't find a new update and still is at 4.41, so Sony might have pulled it for now to investigate the issue. Still, people that are stuck on the wave-thingie can still boot into the repair console to reinstall 4.45 or install a newer firmware once Sony releases one.


You mean this?https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1488/~/safe-mode-on-ps3

 

"Safe mode is a feature for starting the PS3 with the "minimum required functionality" if the system is no longer able to start up normally. By starting up the system in safe mode, then executing a menu option, you may be able to eliminate the symptom. Please note there is a chance that safe mode options will not fix the problem and your system will require service.


We do not recommend using the options in Safe Mode unless you are experiencing issues with the PlayStation 3. Some of these options could result in loss of data.


If you choose to perform one of the Safe Mode options, please back up your data before attempting to enter safe mode (when possible). Click hereto learn how to manually copy data from the PlayStation 3."
