Ok,it does sound like a brick...though,I have had the issue occur more than once,the way I fix it is by patching the NOR,flashing it back to the console,re downgrading and this seems to fix the issue that was showing the same symptoms as yours...when I attempted flashing the backup without being patched I was stuck constantly on the same Cfw with the " data corrupted error " but this does not occur all the time!
But don't do that yet,it could be an easy fix,is the console powering on to the XMB menu? What Cfw are you trying to install??

i read something up on this . BRICK TYPE #1 of 3
*** 60% forever loop - Gets to between 59% to 62% displays an error.

Answer: Your bluetooth/wireless/card reader modules is either loose, NOT the original ones shipped with your machine, or they are broken or non-working in parts.

Fix: Try removing them, and replacing or cleaning the ribbon cable, if that does not work, unsolder the 8pin EEPROM containing the mac/bluetooth/usb info, and solder onto a know working module.


BRICK TYPE #2 of 3
*** 65% forever loop - Gets to between 64% to 68% displays an error.

Answer: Your blu-ray drive is either loose, NOT the original one, or part of the drive board is dead, even tho it was playing discs before!

Fix: Try removing it, and replacing or cleaning all the ribbon cables, if that does not work, unsolder the 48pin BGA firmware chip and solder onto a know working drive board (very hard to do!!)


BRICK TYPE #3 of 3
*** 99% freeze loop - Gets to 99% and just sits there looking dumb!

Answer: Either your HDD is damaged or has a bad boot sector, or the reset signal on your motherboard is not working.

Fix: Try another power supply, seems to work in my cases, or replace the small eject/reset/power board in the front of the motherboard. (If HDD, see below)

is this any help? there is more info on this link

Hmm kinda helps, sounds like the first one cause I have a slim it doesn't work with blootooth or wireless & doesn't accept some updates, I'm don't really understand the fix either? Can I not re downgrade if so do you know the steps to take?
