Hi Blair, got a question about HDD compatibility. My understanding is that modern HDD's have a 4K advanced format where the physical drive sectors are 4,096 bytes... but that the PS3 OS was actually designed to run on old-school HDD's that have the previous 512 byte sectors. I've read on some forums that folks have experienced stuttering issues when running certain games from their newly installed (modern) HDD's - because no one sells those old 512 sector HDD's anymore! Granted.... even though the HDD's are 4K AF... most will be running on 512e (emulated) so they can work with existing OS's and applications that I/O data in 512 sized packets. Do you know anything / have experienced these stuttering issues? I'm guessing the stuttering come either from the physical and logical sectors not being aligned (4K vs 512), or from the 512e process which is essentially an extra step between the OS and the HDD.... I'm really looking forward to upgrading my PS3 HDD, still using the 80GB on my fat PS3!

You can straight out clone a PS3 hard drive using debug options on 4.84.2 REX REBUG CFW. As long as you have QA flags enabled you can downgrade to that. Then scroll down settings till you get to Debug. Go into Debug and scroll down till you find HDD exchange utility. Hook up your hard drive to the PS3 using a SATA to USB adapter. Follow the instructions to begin the process. After it's complete, install the new hard drive. When you power it on again, it'll look for an update. Take the CFW you want to use and put it on a USB drive. Update your PS3 from the USB drive and you should be finished.

Incredibly convoluted, how I ended up having to do it, but I force-downloaded the playstation update to my phone (it wouldn't active just by clicking the link, so I had to hold it down until a menu popped up, told it to download & when a messae box popped up, click download anyway), transferred it through my laptop to a USB stick with the PS3 & UPDATE folders & then updated my PS3. I'd been led to believe that I could just hook the hard drive to the PS3 with a SATA to USB adapter & do a straight copy transfer. Found out the problem after getting some weird results when plugging it into my computer & looking it up- USB can't supply enough power to an internal hard drive to get it fully running, so it's data can't be accessed the way it can off of a basic flash drive. I guess the only way to do it is doing what the PS3 itself recommended- connecting two PS3's together via ethernet.

When I put the new hard drive in, it says, "the system software can not be run correctly. Press the PSS button to try to restart the system. When I tried that, it still did not work. So I'm stuck on that page.

Can you get into safe mode? I think you can force it into safe mode I just don't remember how, but if you get there, there should be options to get you finished from there

No worries. Since your system is already jailbroken, you can just install the most recent custom firmware onto the new drive and you'll be good to go.

Will this remove the jailbreak and I'll have to re-jailbreak? Second question, can an SSD be used, or does it have to be an HDD? Thanks for making such detailed videos

As long as the ssd has a sata connection it should work. This ain't the PS5 with its fancy M.2
