PS3 PS3 don't recognize usb in any format

That's why I asked about what exactly not see this pendrive. Because CellOS doesn't support exFAT, while e.g WMM does.

If partition table is MBR, and if filesystem on first partition in a table is FAT32, then XMB, recovery etc. will see the pendrive. They simply must. If not, it is hardware issue.

Also definition see/not see is not clear. Proper environment which w.g XMB will see, doesn't guarantee to list e.g in Photo category if user will not make folders on specific names. In such case, users often says: "it doesn't work" while it is enough to invoke context menu (by triangle? I forgot) and choose show all option. AND. Besides that, we have homebrew applications which not must use system stuff but their own like e.g WMM or IrisMAN and in those case, exFAT and NTFS will be recognized while e.g XMB will reject it.

What do you mean by "does not detect" and "stopped recognizing" ? We need more information. If you are trying to play a mp3 from a FAT32 drive, it's a lot different than trying to play a game folder rip from a NTFS drive.

ONLY FAT32 usb drives will be detected/recognized on the XMB/Firmware. The firmware has no support for NTFS or exFAT, this means you can not install firmware from NTFS/exFAT, you can not install packages from NTFS/exFAT etc etc.

NTFS and exFAT will only work in some homebrew, mainly NTFS/exFAT is used for PS3/PSX ISOs.

(there are some exceptions to the above rules with specific homebrew)

We can try this last tool

Wii Backup Manager

1. Open WBM, Select "Tools" and then "Format Drives"

2. Select your drive, choose FAT32 and leave cluster size as 32Kb

Ok...Let me tell you something about the USB flash drives since he's already scratching his head...:

1. It is best to use windows own disk formatter to do the formatting job.

2. USB flash drive up to 32GB can be used on PS3 console with MBR stuff in it. If you're using 64GB and above, you won't see FAT32 formatting options on the windows disk formatter. Force formatting to FAT32 actually giving much problems.

3. Use USB 2.0 flash drive for maximum compatibility just like I said before.

4. Also use smaller capacity of USB drive only for purpose of installing homebrew PKG stuff.

5. Check for USB ports, make sure that PS3 USB ports is still functional by connecting the PS3 controller with mini USB cable.
