How to unbrick a PS3 after using PS3Xploit flash writer on OFW
If you have accidentally used the PS3Xploit flash writer tool on an OFW console that is not jailbreak compatible, you may have bricked your PS3. This means that your console will not boot up and you will see a black screen or a blinking red light. However, there is a way to fix this problem if you have a hardware flasher device such as E3 flasher, Teensy or Progskeet. In this article, we will show you how to unbrick your PS3 using a patched dump file with the correct Core OS for your system version.
What you need
A hardware flasher device that can read and write to your PS3's NOR or NAND chip.
A PC with Windows and a USB port.
A USB drive formatted to FAT32.
The Core OS file of the OFW that matches your system version. You can download them from the links below:

Step 1: Dump your NOR or NAND with your hardware flasher
The first step is to dump your PS3's NOR or NAND chip using your hardware flasher device. This will create a backup file of your original firmware that you can use to restore your console if something goes wrong. You will need to follow the instructions of your specific flasher device to do this. There are many tutorials online that can help you with this process. For example, you can check out this guide for E3 flasher[^1^], this guide for Teensy[^2^], or this guide for Progskeet[^3^]. Make sure you dump your chip at least twice and compare the files to ensure they are identical and not corrupted.

Step 2: Check and patch your dump file with PS3DumpChecker
The next step is to check and patch your dump file using a tool called PS3DumpChecker. This tool will verify if your dump file is valid and apply a patch that will overwrite the wrong PS3Xploit patches with the correct OFW Core OS. To do this, follow these steps:
Download and open the latest PS3DumpChecker from here.
In the settings (top left wrench icon), make sure everything is like this:
Load your dump file in PS3DumpChecker (you can drag and drop). It may be BAD with one or two bad ROS hashes, and maybe also the SKU and or semistatic data (PS3DumpChecker is not fully compatible with 3k and 4k dumps). Don't worry as long as you are 100% confident your dump has been done correctly.
If your dump is OK except the ROS hashes, you can click on the \"Force Patch\" button. It will ask you to select the Core OS file that matches your system version. Choose the file that you downloaded in the previous step and click \"Open\". It will patch your dump using the noFSM patch and will save it as \"bkpps3_patched.bin\". That new patched dump must be all OK before flashing!
Step 3: Flash your patched dump file with your hardware flasher
The final step is to flash your patched dump file back to your PS3's NOR or NAND chip using your hardware flasher device. You will need to follow the instructions of your specific flasher device to do this. Again, there are many tutorials online that can help you with this process. For example, you can check out this guide for E3 flasher, this guide for Teensy, or this guide for Progskeet. Make sure you flash the file that is named \"bkpps3_patched.bin\" and not the original dump file.
Step 4: Enjoy your unbricked PS3
After flashing your patched dump file, you should be able to turn on your PS3 and see the XMB. Congratulations, you have successfully unbricked your PS3! Now, you can re-install the OFW that matches your system version using a USB drive. Do not use the PS3Xploit flash writer tool again on this console or you will brick it again. If you want to jailbreak your PS3, you will need to use a different method such as HEN or HFW.
