    The system won't boot past the white playstation logo, no warning popup or anything.

    It'll stay on that white logo for a WHILE and then just, go black.

    I CAN boot to the safe menu, but database rebuild, system restore, do nothing. Updating via USB just tells me I have the latest firmware already installed.

    When I do a System Restore, the little circle pops up for half a second, goes back to the logo, and does nothing.

    Database rebuild just goes to a black screen, ps logo, nothing.

    Try holding L while booting up to run with plugins disabled, if all else fails try reinstalling newest firmware through ps3 or qcma

    When I try installing the firmware from QCMA, it just keeps saying I have the latest firmware already.

    Make sure you're trying 3.73 firmware, and make sure setting in qcma are correct along with xml correctly set up


    Try with this xml file for 3.73

    <update_data_list>

    <region id="us">

    <np level0_system_version="01.600.000" level1_system_version="03.730.000" level2_system_version="03.730.000" map="03.730.000"/>

    <np_d level0_system_version="01.600.000" level1_system_version="03.730.000" level2_system_version="03.730.000" map="03.730.000"/>

    <version system_version="03.730.000" label="3.73">

    <update_data update_type="full">
