How did you try to jailbreak it? What firmware is it on now? Still 4.00? You are in an update loop because the update checks for a married blue ray drive board. If it doesn't have one, then it will give you am error and want you to fix the problem and re update. If you aren't on 3.55 or lower, you can't remarry a drive or use mfw with no bd check to fix this update loop.

MFW builder can decrypt the nessisery files on any FW Because they are not encrypted They are basically .TXT files with the info.

I am uploading it, It is almost done.

Ok here Just wipe the HDD and get the update loop to stop and install this 4.00_NoBD

If you format the HDD it should stop the update loop, Or go into the recovery menu. Hope it helps.
