PS3 How to fix PS3 when the ps3 turns off when clicking on a program and shows a red light blinking

[PS3FanThatHasHEN]

I have a ps3 slim. It's running HEN with a Custom cold boot which was the firmware 1.00's startup and gameboot. Today, when i installed the gameboot and coldboot in dev_blind, I restarted the console and everything was working fine, until the ps3 shut off and showed a blinking red light. Websites are working fine, and I had webman mod and thought, can you delete files through webman? I don't know what was causing the ps3 to shut off, i thought it was the game.ext.plugin.sprx. any thoughts to how to save my ps3?

Easiest way should be to start your console in Recovery Mode and reinstall HFW. That should restore the dev_flash to a working state.

If successful, you can reinstall HEN and everything should be as before.

Another alternative is to get hands on the HFW files and restore them to dev_flash via FTP (since you have WebMAN MOD running, you can do that), but could be cumbersome.

reinstall the firmware. afaik, the game_ext.sprx doesn't work on hen due to signing, if that was modified. it's most likely the gameboot that's the problem as a result. the coldboot would likely be fine.

I just tried to uninstall hen, but it showed that the feature is not implemented yet

Does it work when I install evilnat after i uninstalled HEN?

I couldn't delete the files bc webMAN Mod has an error called: Delete Error!

I don't know what to do, because I don't want to lose my save data because I spent TEN years playing 100 games and completing it.

Honestly, it sounds like an hdd problem unfortunately. It may be a coincidence that it happened right around when you changed the coldboot and the gameboot.

You didn't read what I've told you before.

Just reinstall HFW.
