I'd help you but I don't want to be responsible for a brick if I overlook something. Read this page and take your time with it

You should really upload to a site like Mediafire because sites like the ones that you used are unbelievably slow.

Anyway, initial check seems to be in order for your dump......it extracts with all of the correct files and folders.

To be 100% sure on your dump though I would need to know your PS3 SKU so that I can verify some more things.

And when you see them say !validate it is just the keyword to post the instructions on where to go to validate your dump.

Do you have the CECH-M CECH-J or CECH-K?

I have verified your dump........it is a good dump.

Make sure to make and keep a few copies of it just in case you ever need them.

Haha yeah it's a good job I made a few copies of it as I tried dehashing in fsm and bricked the thing o well need to find the soldering iron now!!!

Thanks again

You should de-hash using the QA flag method.

Here is a solderless method for unbricking with flasher > E3 Flasher downgrading tips [NOT guide] + Unbricking without soldering - PS3Hax Network - Playstation 3 Hacks and Mods

thanks i tried the solderless method but i couldnt get the damn thing to stick and stay i place properly so i got the iron out and crudely soldered a wire onto the nor point on the board.
for the life of me i couldnt get the wire soldered to the contact on the e3 flasher ribbon so what i did was ground the wire on the grounding screw on the ps3 chasis where the earth cable is screwed and it worked like a charm after a bit of tinkering

so finally back onto 3.55 and in the process of installing ofw 3.55 qa style

just a quick note the foolproof guide that is stickied is brilliant but there is one problem with it on the de-hashing part where it says in big red letters
DO THIS WAY AT YOUR OWN RISK AS I GET RLOD EVERYTIME I TRY IT - is confusing because you do not know which one is which that is how i ended up trying the fsm way only to find out it wasnt the best way and ultimately semi bricked my console
