uhhh just call sony then? unless you try to brick it by pulling out the power cord mid-installing and then go into recovery when it's bricked with whatever fw you want on a usb in ur ps3....?

Can you not get into settings to turn off automatic update?

If you are below 3.56 then hold the power button down untill it beeps 3 times.

3.56

1. DO HARD-RESET. (holding powerbutton)

2. 2. HOLD eject button+ power button. untill its on and off again!!

3.JUST HOLD eject and tab power once, and hold it untill beeps twice!!

Hope this helps
