Hey guys, I've got a heck of an issue with my ps3.
I'm running custom firmware, and when I start up I get the evilnat logo, it goes away, and then the screen will freeze for a few minutes, then it will do almost like a freezing slideshow and then eventually take me to the xmb. In total it takes about 5 minutes. Once I get in it's decently smooth until you do something where the ps3 has to "think". The obvious thing would be an HDD issue, but I swapped to a different one. I had an SSD in there then swapped to am hdd and the problem persists. I tried installing OFW but it fails due to 8002F14E and got stuck in an update loop. I tried fixing that but couldn't, however before this ordeal happened my disc drive was working perfectly fine, I had replaced the laser and had no issues.
I managed to reformat the hard drive and reinstalled CFW but this time the no BD version. I have a replacement drive ( a BD-410, I originally had a BD-400) that I installed and I'm trying to remarry but same issue when I go into FSM it's painfully slow to boot up, then when I go to marry the drive it freezes for like 2 minutes and fails, but from what I understand the failure is not abnormal. I assume I can do it on the no BD version? Also sometimes on FSM my thumb drive will just disappear and I gotta reboot again, it's a PITA.
Does anyone have any insight or advice on what can be causing this, or am I doing something wrong? I'm scared to get stuck in a boot loop again installing a different firmware.
A couple tidbits of info is this is a Frankie console and I haven't seen any artifacting on the screen. I have an ERD root key and what i assume is a back up it's called dump.bin.
Thanks everyone
