You can just re-install the SAME firmware you were using before. When it tells you need a higher version, just ignore that and hold "start + select" as requested and it will install.

This is true for Rogero firmware 4.30 V2.05

Start PS3 in recovery mode,

EDIT: use @baargle s suggestion.

Rogero states that since 2.03:

HDD can be swapped/changed anytime and the CFW will re-install without any problem.

A friend gave me his ps3 with the same problem, dead hdd. I had to use the downgrade pup to get a firmware to install just using rogero 4.30 vXX didn't work. The ps3 accepted the downgrader pup and from there was able to get QAtoggle.pkg to work and then back to 3.55 to dehash and now can upgrade to 4.30

here are two links with the info and files you will need one is the hax news the other the source. hope this helps.

make sure to read the downgrade tut and understand what you are doing.
