i have no clue really, for this kinda brick and "Any" valid dump of the PS3 bricked in question wich don't seem to work if only flashing that valid dump and with flashing prohacks dump first(it must have some offsets/flags set?) or some so after flashing that/restoring any valid dump/downgrade using e3_downgrade.bin+that same "any" valid dump to complete it and back on CFW355...great stuff as already posted....still u did not answered the original Q = how can one restore a IFI header dump with E3 flasher, it should result in a black screen i think...not that i seen this error in real life either cuse i always use the original created E3 dumps with FII header just to save me some more trouble?!..just like with a Teensy setup in that case it dumps with IFI header, in that case the memdump dump would work....it could be i'm making a total ass of myself..just posting my results..things tested on my end and i'm gonna repeat it anyway...u cannot restore a memdump dump with e3 without option7 flowrebuilder = bytereverse nor dump....and expecting it to boot properly without it..., correct me if this is wrong! ..thx

This is exactly my question in the posts before yours but i could not translate what is going in my mind as you did

[noobzega]

Looks like his custom dump have something changed but what I really cant tell you. Ask E3 team, they are hackers lol not me I just use it and unbrick console with it. If you dont beleve me ask @tanimr2002

[haz367]

I have used his custom dump, to fix some bricks that were giving errors with just the valid dump.

But the problem that users had, were they were using the custom dump without a valid dump first.
If you flash that custom dump, and don't have a valid one to flash after, you will permabrick your PS3 for sure.

So it is advised to use it with caution. Most of the time you do not need the custom dump to fix a brick. If you are getting errors or it doesn't work with just your dump, flash your dump twice.
