Ps3 hangs when starting?

Since last night my ps3 hangs on startup when I have HEN on it and in the firmware tools I have set it to 'Rebug theme' and since it wants to start it hangs on what can I do? I can't format the hard disk not into the Playstation. Maybe the firmware is broken?

Re

You can connect the hard drive to the PC and format it there. Then you can put the hard drive back into the PS3 and reinstall HEN

Unfortunately I no longer have a PC, but can I use my cell phone and USB charging cable to bring the ps3 to 4.86 (normal)? If so, how would that work?

Re

Which cell phone do you have? If you have an OTG adapter, you can save the normal 4.86 to a USB stick and boot the PS3 into recovery mode. Then you should be able to set up the hard drive with the operating system again.

Re

Which PS3 do you actually have?

I have a ps3 fat model so this "thickness" and my cell phone is a huawei mate 20 lite

Re

All right. Do you have a laptop? Then you can create a USB stick with these instructions https://support.playstation.com/s/article/Reinstall-PlayStation-3-System-Software?language=en_US. Otherwise, you can also do it with a USB-C to USB-A adapter by mobile phone.

Could you please check if your PS3 is still booting into recovery mode? Simply press the on button until it beeps 3 times.

Yes my ps3 is still in recovery mode, but where can I get the adapter from? 😅

https://www.amazon.de/...a&ref=is_s there you can simply choose one. At that time there was an adapter for my cell phone, but I also have a Samsung Galaxy S9.
