If all you are worried about is getting the official 1.11 MW2 patch, there is an .apk on NGU somewhere that lets you install it.

Are you high?
Hold the reset button until you get the recovery menu then get a USB with FW 3.41 and reinstall it. I can link to you the US update if you need it

go to sony site. download fw3.41 and restore with that.

That should be the US version. and should fix the problems.
