looks like it's bricking for anyone with HDDs larger than 500GB from what the survey says here.
it stays at 99% for a good two or three minutes.
don't touch it, allow it to reach 100%
So if im going to a black screen does that mean that my HDD is toast? or will the updated update possibly fix the issue?
Guys- did they pull the FW Update offline? Its letting me sign in with 4.41 now. No prompt to update when signing in.
bricking PS3s!?
Why is this good shit always a goddamn TRAP!
Good thing I always keep auto update disabled
Edit 2: Imagine if this was Xbox One. Tsc tscv
I should probably have asked how many GBs are left on people's HDD too in case the availability of the GBs can affect performance.
Same thing happened to me too, I was nervous when it was stuck but I let it go through.it stays at 99% for a good two or three minutes.
don't touch it, allow it to reach 100%
So everyone posting says no problem. What even prompted the scare?
Weird. I wonder if there is going to be any fix for the people who can't get to these options or we are just out of luck.
Update should be pulled, I don't think it should prompt you but I can't test it since i"m updated
Sony's pulled the update.
Just logged in and it didn't ask for an update before logging on PSN and it also says I'm using the latest firmware so yeah, they already know but man people are going to be pissed tomorrow.
Update already pulled.
If you're getting a black screen, try booting to safe mode. If you can boot safe mode, you're good until Sony fixes this issue.
If their previous fuckups are any indication, this might mean some free games for everyone!
Glad to hear they've fixed this though.

Read the fucking thread idiot. A lot of people are having issues, including me.
That's what I'm wondering. There better be a fucking way to recover everything.
The trophy/cheevo haters can shut up now.
FW 4.25? That's from late last year.
I have a 1TB :-S good thing auto update only downloads it...The ones with a failed update what's your HDD size.
Looks like on PS Forums it's all 1 TB drives that are having issues.

This wasn't a thread about the brick issue when it started. I come back for this last page it's a huge line of people saying no problem. SO, I asked where the issue report came from. i'm not accusing you of anything.
edit: of course, fuck you
I have the same problem trying to install the new firmware via the recovery menu. (Managed to get back in after holding down the power button through one full turn on/beep/turn off cycle.)
FWIW, my info:
Problem with FW 4.45? (choose one):
* YES
HDD (choose one):
* Custom (1TB Samsung Spinpoint)
PS3 type (choose one):
* Slim 1 (CECH-2001A)
PS3 Region (choose one):
* US
Problem with FW 4.45?
* Yes :-(
HDD:
* Samsung HDD (1 TB)
PS3 type:
* Slim 1
PS3 Region:

Didn't read this thread and formatted my PS3 to no avail. Lost about 300GB worth of games/music. I can still get to the debug menu so hopefully an update via usb will get me going again.
man I understand you are pissed off, but there really isnt a reason to be so hostile. I think the last page everyone posted "no" for problems, which is probably what he was talking about. Hopefully they fix everything and your PS3 starts working again though. Keep in mind though once its fixed you will get free games no doubt!
This isnt making you feel any better is it?
Because it's so difficult to go back a page or two and figure out why everyone's talking about it. Nope, gotta make a sweeping generalisation that there's no issue because a single page of people said they didn't have any problems.
If your PS3 is bricked, report your PS3 Model and HDD size
DO NOT UPDATE TO 4.45, PEOPLE ARE GETTING BRICKED PS3S
