try to patch your original dump with norpatcher. then flash it as you know (plugoff switches 100 000). after flashing try to go to service mode with a downgrade dongle with downgrade hex. pm me if it doesnt help.

How to know if the Dump is 100% good!! as I check it using E3 Nor Dump Checker V1.0.exe
verify passed, the file size is 16,384KB, after flashing it do I have to remove the E flasher completely and put the HDD ps3 in place? as it connect via esata station. plz. if someone can explaine step by step would be very helpfull.

lol filesize doesn't say a thing if it's good or bad
and that E3 Nor Dump Checker V1.0.exe fails so hard it only checks headers lol

i suggest you check it with my tutorial if it's a good dump

if it's failing well i can say for sure it's for 99% a dead console
