Have you tired to restore File System in safe mode? If not here's how

1. With the system in standby mode. Press and hold the power button down until the system turns on and then off again. Release the power button. Very important to hold the power button until the console shuts off and to release the power button before continuing to step 2.

2.After about 1 - 2 seconds press and hold the power button again, until you hear 2 consecutive beeps. Release the power button. During this step you will actually here three beeps. There will be one single beep then a short delay followed by the 2 consecutive beeps. Only release the the power button after the 2 consecutive beeps.

3.You will then be instructed to plug in a controller, via the usb cord, and press the PS button.

4.At this point the PS3 Recovery Menu will be shown on the screen.

I would start with option 3
hopefully this'll sort you out

good luck.

I know your having problems getting the firmware on but if you want to jailbreak do not update to 3.56 you want 3.55

make sure you pick the correct region and check the MD5 checksum before upgrading, google it it you don't understand

[iman]

I'm curious as to why you would want to put on 3.50 instead of 3.55?

[xblade]

amm because i cant get anything to work on the thing it wont update the 3.55 still stops at 99% ffs

thanks for the link ally i will have a look at that
