Unhappy Ps3 bricked?? Help!!

So I was installing CFW 3.55 on my ps3 and at first there has been no problem installing it until it was at the final stage of installing. It got to about 66%. Then an error message comes up and restarts they system and resumes right when it's turned back on. And I can't even get to the secret menu to restore it. Helpppp!!!!

Well I've read that if I of a different hard drive in then do the recovery method I swap back to the original hard drive then restore it but the only other hard drive I have is my slims and I don't want anything getting corrupted. If I use that do you think anything would happen?

You can use the backup utility on your slim to backup that hard drive to an external hdd. Then try and do it with the other ps3. Because it will get formatted and you will lose all your data if you don't back it up. Then when you want to put it back in the slim it will format, then recover the backup, with the backup utility in the xmb.

Just a warning in the eventual case you "brick" your ps3 while updating :
www.ps3devwiki.com <- this here contains a section where it displays all sorts of errors the ps3 can have. And i'm acting nice here, since you almost made me start swearing and cursing, and thus risking for a warning or even a ban :/
