before we begin please dont confuse service mode with recovery mode - recovery mode if you can access it will fix your problems - you just need to try each of the menu options and pray one of them works. if this fails and/or you cant get to recovery mode then you need to get in to service mode if you can, and if you cant well hardware flasher progskeet might help but i doubt it. so if you get in service mode update to official firmware version 3.41 with lv2diag and the pup file on the root of a memory stick (i cant tell you where to get the software but its out there) then once your system is restored install normal firmware 3.55 before you go to custom firmware 3.55 - people have often had issues going from low official firmware to higher custom firmware and this is because the firmware installers in some cases dont update all the files resulting in red screen of death. you have to restore your machine with service mode and official firmware then start again. if your unlucky then service mode wont be available and you then need a hardware flasher to try and recover it but honestly i think if service mode doesnt work then your stuffed.
