Try unplugging power cord from the back in the middle of upgrade.

If you want to brick it try formatting the hard drive and then pull out the plug in the middle of the proccess.
But the bricking method has proved to not work for many people. Before you try it, try this: Now this does not work for everyone, but people have reported this working, and this is one of the safer ways to downgrade.

1. Fully Restore Your PS3 ( If It Takes A Long Time, It's Normal )

2. Before You Put In Date And Time

3. Go Into System Recovery Mode

4. Go to System Update Via USb W/e

5. Download The OFW 3.55 or 3.41

6. The u Can Download The CFW To The System

7. Now u have a ps3 with CFW
Now it works for some people while not others, but you have a great chance of it working if you have the older ps3 version.

Didn't work. Said the update had to be 3.56 or later
