Corrupt HDD

Hello,

6 years ago, my dad factory reset my ps3, which lead to all my saves being deleted. Including my childhood minecraft worlds.
Now that i'm older, I tried looking up on how to restore back data that has been deleted as the console hasn't been used since, meaning the data that was is still there, simply overwritable.
I installed the Hen stuff, successfully did everything until I had to use the ps3 toolset, which didn't work as I had updated to 4.93, so I tried installing EvilNat 4.93, which led to my console going to safemode.

I installed the official ps3 4.93 firmware, and it loaded for just a second then said "grave error occured, contact technical support (8002F281) and sometimes (8002F1F9) with "the data is damaged", I've seen people mentionning that I had to unplung the controller right before it does the error, doesn't work, and i've seen people say to hold start and select, doesn't work.

I really want to get the data back, but I know it might be impossible although it is still on it. It said 92/111gb of data is on the HDD.

If someone can help me, or tell me to finally let go, it would be great.

PS: I started 2 days ago pirating my ps3, so i'm a big noob. And I was wondering if there is a future possibility of obtaining that data back?
