PS3 Software problem

[One And Only]

My PS3 has a software problem (due to a failed update) that I'm unable to resolve. It's impossible to get into safemode due to the PS going directly to the update panel. (It always aborts at 50-60%) and gives me the error. Do you guys know how to do a factory reset without entering safemode or the control panel? (USB,.. idk)
Thanks a lot.

 

I'm fairly sure the only way to factory reset includes you having to navigate through the PS3 menus.
The only thing I can think of is googling if others have the same trouble. If they do simply wait a couple of days and hopefully Sony will release another update that will fix that one.

I've had this problem for several weeks now but I just tried to fix it. Others that have the same problem (googled the error code a couple of times) were still able to get into the PS3 menu, whilst I can't.

Probably going to call my repair shop, as I'm out of warranty.

That's called safe-mode, can't get into it for some reason.

The problem is that it doesn't even give me an option whether I want to start updating or not, it just starts doing it. This is the reason why I'm unable to use my PS3. So I'm pretty sure that I can't select I want to update it from a USB.
