Hey, luminusomo

I would suggest just completely resetting the PS3's Hard Drive. If that's not possible with your software situation, I'd suggest just replacing the hard drive. You'll lose your files, but at the end of the day you'll still have a PlayStation.

@luminusomo

Your jailbreak homebrew should have a settings area. If you can access it, it may have an option to reset the hard drive.

You could also try resetting it from safe mode
