I believe that you should follow the steps, except that you will be doing them on one PS3 instead of two. After you delete the updates, must then update the game to 1.05 and the car that you are trying to sponge must be in the original game or the game will lock up at some point while loading.
Sorry for double post but i wanted the other people having this problem with one PS3 to see this.



Ok i will give this a try thanks a lot.

I'll let you know. I have fast Internet soo it shouldn't take but 30-45 minutes at the most.


Got a business call so couldn't start it till now. I will post a step by step for people with one PS3 after i am done and after if it works.

======



Confirmed with one PS3....
Here's what you do.
1. Borrow the car

2. Save then go delete game data.

3. Start GT5 and do the first update (608 MB) then after it downloads and installs back out

4. Start GT5 and when it asked you to do the updates hit circle.

5. Go into GT life switch the car then save and back out then do the updates

Can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not.

Is it a good explanation? Or does it need more? Sorry if I need to input more let me know. I tried to make it as simple as I could. Thumbs up

XoteRz, try that as well.
For giving me a epiphany hahaha. Maybe now the owner of this thread will post that up in the OP.

Thanks so much man.
 
Thanks guys, and thanks lock. That simple step by step is perfect. For those needing to fill the gaps, press ok when it says accessing data and no to the data installation recommendation untill the last step. It prob doesnt matter but this is the way I done it.

For those frustrated at update times. Do it in school hours or it will take forever. I gave up last night as it was taking 5 mins to do 1%, this morning it took 3 mins to do it all. If it is taking ages then download error pops up. Its probably timed out not corrupt.

Also for those worried about their save game, its fine. Its the same scenario as not playing a game for 2 years then turning it on again and updating... ur save is uneffected. If it was sony have a major issue to address.

So just go for it.... jump in too the deep end. Its not as hard as it looks... in fact its so easy that you think it shouldnt work.... but does.

No problem like i said glad to help.



And yep your save data is unaffected. All you are doing is deleting the game data which is updates/patches/dlc/game installation
 
So I'm trying this I update to 1.5 then when I go into GT Life I can't move my cursor it won't do anything. Anyone know why this is???
 
I havent tried it a second time since the maintenance. Mainly because the people with hacked cars seem to be complete tools. I had blank screen first time as i didnt download patch 1. make sure that is downloaded AND installed and cancel on the second update. (2/20.... hit circle). Also newer disks like gt edition may have a newer patch than original game cds. I didnt think they can edit patches that are in use. so really it shouldnt be able to be patched.

Edit: Confirmed: Still Works

on another note, anyone will to share a hybrid with me? i have the civic already.

I'm having the same issue, followed the instructions, download and install first upate then cancle the rest, Load up GT5 and the cursor moves fine at the main menu, but when I enter GT mode the cursor sits over the GT life option and I can't move it. 👎

My GT5 is the collectors edition, was a day 1 release without any patches, BCES 00569/S

Same thing happened to me

The answer to that is just a few pages back. Change your wallpaper and bottom color to the first ones, at the top and left respectively. Moreover, you don't even need to go into GT Mode. Just hit the save button at the main screen and quit the game.
 
Thanks, just read that right after I gave up and started fully updating :dunce: now I got to sit through a long wait before I can try again lol.

I thought you had to change car? Otherwise once you fully update the game still reads the car as being borrowed?

Do you guys have a dlc background image on? Might be the reason

He said that is a way around switching the car if you have one of the dlc backgrounds on
 
Got a quick question, Once you deleted the game save and started the game and installed the first patch 1.6, yes?

then you change to another car, will the borrowed car disappear from the garage..

But then it should be there after all the patches are done? Right?

If you delete your game save, then all your cars will disappear. :lol:

After borrowing the car, delete the game data and update back to 1.05 Nothing should disappear, unless you did something very wrong. Read the last couple of pages if have problems.
 
This glitch isn t working form me, I did everything what should be done , and it just isn t working :

1. borrowed car
2.deleted game data (not save data)
3.started again
4.refuse to download patches
5.black screen..........

did it all again and all i got was black screen

then i do everything as I did in first place exept patches(I installed them) ..... spent (3 hours)
and...... The borrowed car is still borrowed , not mine , I have to redownload all DLC s and had to wait extra 1hour to wait the game create thumbnails for all cars again!
Thank you very much!!

p.s. anyone knows what went wrong, and what should I do?
 
opelsuzuki
1. borrowed car
2.deleted game data (not save data)
3.started again

4. Download and install the first update 608MB after it starts to download 2/20 hit circle to cancel the updates

5. Go into GT life and switch car and save then exit GT5

6. Start GT5 and finish updating.

Yes I meant the GT5 gt life wallpaper.
You need to update all the way. Then set the wallpaper to the first one. Then repeat the borrow again.
