Mine happend to a while ago and got the YLoD. Did you try going into safe mode again but instead of trying to update or something i think there is an option for a recovery or some sort??? I will check in a little bit.

No problem, and btw if you can still turn it on and just not update it now you can always bypass it with that MAGIC IP(xD) and see what you can do from there. or is it completly cooked?

I dont think its bricked because it never like found that updat.pup so it never downloaded it and the screen never said do not turn off the ps3 so i dont think its bricked, but hey it might be and also i cant enter the recovery mode and people with bricked ps3's can I have read all over NGU about bricked ps3's and they can, but I cant get access to the safe mode because it turns green then automatically red flashing light.
If you can help me that would be great

Well i press the power button turns green for like a second or two then immediately turns into a red blinking light so all i see on my screen is no hdmi input detected.
