I was playing twisted metal this morning until I accidentally bumped into my drawer where the ps3 was standing making the power cord for my ps3 come out and the power cord easily comes out if bumped into or moving the ps3 OR if a cord is pulled but after turning on my ps3 it came up with what's in title right now I also went into safe mode but every other option either freezes or get's stuck and I don't want to restore the ps3 system because of my save data obviously but if there's a fix I would be appreciated

Are you sure you didn't bump into the console? Like, did the console take any impact? Well, and that happened with the console in operation, there is a great possibility that the HDD has been damaged, since it is mechanical, it has a disk and needle in motion.

If you have a USB case, you can connect the HDD to it, plug it into your computer, run the "crystal disk info" program, and check the health status of the hard disk, nothing more, so that it doesn't force you to format the disk when returning to the console.

Another suggestion if you have a problem with this hard drive would be to try to clone it, transfer all data to another good HDD.

Wait for other suggestions from fellow forum members, they will certainly have great ideas to help you.

Thanks I might try that but I was putting stuff into the drawer (Cause my room was so messy) until I bumped my head into the drawer also the power cord comes out pretty easily unlike the other cords I should really use but there really short thanks again
 
Filesystem became corrupt, You cannot fix it if during check, console bootlooping. Additional, You should check S.M.A.R.T because it is highly possible that this HDD no longer should be used (physical damages).

If You have CFW, read ERK. If You have ERK, try to read data from it:

But before that, make sector by sector image (DMDE, HDD Raw Copy or dd; but if You have bad sectors You will need DMDE, IsoBuster or gddrescue (I don't remember if DMDE will ask what to do or he automatically replace bad sector, IsoBuster will ask so choose to replace by zero)). Because the longer this HDD works, the more damages are making (eg. metal dust spreading across whole surface). And the more damages, the less data can be get. It is super important to UFS2 fs table to be fully working, otherwise this will seriously complicating data recovery.
