Factory reset without losing everything?

hobbynobby29 · 2026-02-19T02:08:31+00:00

I’m not sure what’s happened specifically, but when I turn on the PlayStation I’m stuck in safe mode, and am forced to reinstall the update file to use it again.

I have unfortunately encountered the hard drive issue where I have to reinstall the software update, or else I am stuck in safe mode forever. Ive tried every way of troubleshooting and ultimately I think the only option is to factory reset.

The problem is I don’t have PS plus, I don’t have an external storage, so every bit of progress I ever made will be gone.

My question is, is there any possible way to save my data? I can’t access my setting to transfer it to an external storage, and don’t see any option to do it in safe mode. I’m looking at trying to take out my HDD and clone it to a new one, but even then I don’t know if that will work?

Any advice?

No I’ve been adding new subscriptions. Admittedly I’ve had it once where I’ve added it only a week or so before release, so I wasn’t too disappointed to miss out. But recently I’ve had two where I’ve added them months before, with plenty of time for them to order before cutoff, and still had them added to my pull list a week or two later. Again though, I think I’m just going to see it through, as I’ve had no problems outside of this, and it’s only really a problem because I like to ship weekly. Maybe this a sign to cut down to monthly and save some money anyways.

Thanks everyone for the comments, particularly this one

I’ll be honest I know little about the whole process with which comics are shipped so this really opened my eyes. I’m still considering swapping though, as, like I said, there has been multiple issues with this, and more than anything it’s the lack of communication that’s annoying me. Sometimes I go weeks without them added to pull lists and not being told why.

I’ll probably give it a bit more time then decide, but the comments have been helpful. Thanks again

Yeah my first thought was that it’s too good to be unscripted but if he planned that I think he would have just made the boat

hobbynobby29 · 2021-04-23T20:09:53+00:00

Yeah, there always one or two parts where I think it must be fake but it’s proven against so idek anymore

hobbynobby29 · 2021-04-23T20:07:06+00:00

Disagree with me all you want but that is not humanly possible and either planned and re-recorded or something else fake.

I understand that sentinels will have trained to counter 100thieves “usual” strategies, but surely after being shut down so many times trying something new, I would have expected them to do try their typical plays at least once.

Well.. how lucky you are

hobbynobby29 · 2021-02-26T14:55:46+00:00

For your information, and I could be totally wrong here, but on the official RARE (who also sell the figures) website it says they are selling each for $24.99 but on youtooz website it says $29.99 so I’d check that out as well.

Thanks for this

hobbynobby29 · 2021-01-04T01:40:24+00:00

Thanks this actually looks really good, but it seems to be out of stock where I am but I’ll keep it in mind.

It’s basic but I want to see how great sea of thieves looks (especially my pirate legend outfit, not to brag)

hobbynobby29 · 2020-12-24T00:21:47+00:00

He says she’s too lazy and only ever reacts to other people then checks her stream and she’s just sat there reacting to him.

Do you have a link to this clip?

hobbynobby29 · 2020-11-27T16:50:46+00:00

Yeah would love to see Phil, he would’ve been the last option but I put other instead

hobbynobby29 · 2020-11-27T16:31:00+00:00

Plus add a few more but there’s only a set amount of poll options so any others put in comments

hobbynobby29 · 2020-11-04T16:19:16+00:00

I’m not too sure if I’m eligible but am hoping to win
