About PS3 themes corruption:

---------------------------- All PS3 themes will become corrupt when PS3 is unplugged or Power supply is switched off for a long time (as in a couple of hours or more about).
The data is not actually lost or the SSD is failed. It is due to the PS3 not recognizing I have bought it.
You will need to connect to the internet and sing into to Play Station store and go back to the system menu to restore the themes.
You do not need to re download.

Update: September 2nd, 2025: There are things I learned recently and over time. If the cmos battery is dead, the PS3 will lose theme activation when unplugged. You must have a working CMOS battery for the theme to work long term.
Also if you are able to decrypts the theme (by converting a p3t.edat to just .p3t correctly). Them theme will no longer requires activation. even when CFW/Hen is disabled.
