did that to me then would error, i did manage to fix that, what i did was switch the flasher to cfw and made backup though it was bad cause not soldered in that's okay then put your patched bin back on and write the thing while still in cfw though you shouldn't do this, then set back to all down and redo it, do not turn ps3 off while doing this or it will brick that's how i fixed the issue, my old ps3 had no bd but i had the board for the blu ray still just the drive its self was ****** if you don't have the board of the bd then use a cfw with bd patch, bd is not required to update ps3 just use homebrew/apps/games etc

Would i start over i got 3 bkpps3 patched.bin backups, would i try to reinstall 1 of them, btw they all are good, Or just keep trying to install a cfw downgrader to bypass br? (((Rogero 3.55 v3.7 in FSM. It allows for install without a blu ray drive)) going to give this a shot.

Once you've patched your bkpps3.bin you simply update it to your console... if your confused on how to do this simply look on a YouTube video about this.

Even when you take dumps of your console, you should also make sure that you test them as you've already done to confirm that they're good, you should also make sure they match with other dumps, this can be done with HxD...

The ps3 does not have the original logic board for the disc drive. This does not allow you to update the console. Even if you got to the downgrader, it will not let you QAflag because of the missing disc drive.
