(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm stuck in a bad place right now I accidentally tried installing the custom firmware while I was in system service mode and now every time I boot up the ps3 it has a red screen saying to contact customer support... The problem is I cant call them because they'll ban me... WHAT DO I DO!!!

UPDATE:
Fix it by following this tutorial!

1. Power Off the PS3 via the power switch in back and power back on w/switch.

2. Turn the botton back on. Hold Power Button on the Front until you hear 3 beeps.

3. Then go through the initial setup and then run a full Format via System > quick Format. (will take approx 4 seconds). You may need to have our AV cables ready if your using HDMI (in case HDMI isn't detected after initial reset).

4. Restore your backup you made prior to doing factory/hard reset (optional, if you created a backup).
peace.

Now doing this will wipe your HDD so you might want to back your stuff up if you can.

I CANT EXIT THE RED SCREEN TO DO ANYTHING... If I try to go to the recovery or restart it, it just ends up in the same exact place
