I recently bought ps2 slim usb fmcb and I want to update it now problem is It direct boots to Opl 0.8 Childproof in which i cant even get any option except restart console, exit or information and I dont know how to exit that opl, whenever i enter X on exit, it again boots to opl
 
Put on USB (MBR on FAT32 only) file manager (uLE) which executable is named RESCUE.ELF. FMCB will boot it on start, ignoring MC config. The same You can do with custom FREEMCB.CNF.

But the best would be if You just install FMCB on Your own, ignoring mess on bought MC. Just be sure that You will format FMCB and NOT turning or reset console between this operation and installing FMCB. Or just replace OPL if You are ok with that (in assumption it wasn't embedded in FMCB 1.8b/c).
 
Btw i pressed L1+L2+R1+R2+start+select and gone back to free mc boot black screen(normal as usual) but now one problem im facing, I only see System configuration and Browser but not OpenPs2Loader etc.

first i couldnt go back to free mcboot black screen, after i went there I only see 2 options as it appears in orignal ps2 (without fmcb)

Do as Berion said.
Download the RESCUE_41e4ebe.7z from the attachment.
Unpack it.
Inside there is RESCUE.ELF.

More info:
Recovery Mode
Recovery mode allows you to boot a single ELF, in case your FMCB/FHDB installation was rendered unusable.
Place the ELF as mass:/RESCUE.ELF and FMCB/FHDB will boot it when you switch on the PlayStation 2.

If you are having difficulties with getting RESCUE.ELF to be booted, press and hold START+R1.
FMCB/FHDB will make an infinite number of attempts to boot the file.

You can get FMCB installer from here:
