Good day everyone,
I have tried to fix my problems literally for days work. I searched and tried the best I could. I would be extremely grateful for any help/leads.
Okay, originally I have a PSBreak dongle and jailbroken my PS3. I tried soft-modding my PS3, but a problem was link to another! But before continuing, here is my status of my PS3 before attempting this to softmod:
The problem with updating to 3.56 or higher is that I would lose to ability to use homebrew! Putting in either 3.55 OFW or 3.55 CFW would jump back to the "Software cannot be run"! It would run a checkup before jumping to that screen though. Even now, I can't access my xmb. No matter what button combination I do with or without recovery mode, I can't access my original firmware! I can't run anything now!
So of all days of hardwork, I have been trying to install 3.55 OFW and that is official and I ran into this error! I haven't even attempted installing any CFW except once after the problem is encountered so I have no idea what I did wrong. Please and please help me. I'm trying to revert back to 3.41 by least and at least access games or the XMB. If anyone can even extend that and help update to 3.55 and jump out of this mess, I would be greatly grateful and thankful. Thank you for reading this giant post and even more thankful for all your help.

Homebrew: Yes
First of all, I tried to update my firmware to 3.55 OFW via a external USB. I tried multiples time and it always pop out an error stating, "The data is corrupted" or something of the similar line. Frustrated after so many days, I tried upgrading to the latest version (3.60 OFW) and still it doesn't work with "The data is corrupted" line. After some time, I tried to upgrade to 3.55 OFW again and it finish loading as usual and then afterwards, the screen flash to the same error again: "The data is corrupted". This time, I jump to recovery mode and upgrade through there and again I encounter the same problem. I swapped the internal hard drive and it still doesn't work. Therefore, I reformat that hard drive to FAT32. I reattempted updating through recovery mode and yet it fails again. But this time, after rebooting the PS3, this screen pop out:
Please excuse the quality, I took the picture from another source (Google Image).
Anyway, after turning on the PS3, even after numbers of time, this screen would pop out. I try pressing the PS button and it again reboot to this screen. Recovery mode can still be accessed, but it is still futile. This is what happen if I click on each of the option with the 2nd hard drive:

4. Rebuild Database --> Can't access Hard Disk.
5. Restore PS3 System --> Can't access Hard Disk.
6. System Update --> Can't access Hard Disk.
All of them cannot access the hard disk. Originally the hard drive was NTFS, but since that can't be accessed through the PS3, I reformat it to FAT32. The result above is the result for the FAT32. So I swapped out the 2nd hard drive with the one I used originally. Here are the results:

3. Restore File System --> Did not try yet because of time constraint.
4. Rebuild Database --> Did not try yet because of time constraint.
5. Restore PS3 System --> Restore runs and then jump back to the "Software cannot be run" screen
6. System Update --> Updating to 3.55 OFW would jump back to the "Software cannot be run" screen and please upgrade to 3.56
The problem with updating to 3.56 or higher is that I would lose to ability to use homebrew! Putting in either 3.55 OFW or 3.55 CFW would jump back to the "Software cannot be run"!
