The E3 flasher makes 3 identical dumps so if one of them is bad then all of them will be bad. You have to check a whole lot more than just the size to verify if the dump is good. You should ALWAYS do a few separate backups and verify through the ps3devwiki.com before going any further.
As for using a dump from another console.....it will not work....no way....no how. The BIOS contains console specific details such as the per console keys and IDPS and one console's dump cannot be used on any other system but the one that the dump came from.
It is safe to say that unfortunately you are out of luck and there is no recovering your PS3 now....sorry.
