If it's on DEX it will show minimum version the console can take. So I'm guessing it's a CECH-25xx model.
I would make sure there is no disc in the drive. Then try a D-REX pup.
Have you tried OFW 3.55?
0x8002F157firmware related error / HDD Exchange error - 3.56-1st BUG. Also happens when you try to Upgrade from 999 Downgrader to another Non-999 CFW. Go to OFW 3.55, then upgrade to the other CFW
Sometimes the remarry screen will go very fast and you might miss it if you blink. Try playing a blu ray movie disc while in still in FSM to restore DRL/CRLs.
If it isn't working. Try another USB stick and be sure to format to FAT32, and have all the files on it. Don't forget to rename the...
The BD is still working? Plays discs, and you are able to open apps and psn games normally? I would double check that the drive is fully operational. All contacts on both ends of ribbon are good. If any are sketchy, snip with very sharp scissors so contacts are even. Cut business card and...

So try and install latest rebug rex from rebug.me. Make sure the BD is connected properly. Make sure you have the daughter board that was originally in that ps3, connected to the known working BD you want to use.
Then you won't have to marry anything, and won't have to mess with any noBD CFWs.
If the BD worked before installing a noBD CFW. Updating to a CFW that doesn't have the bluray firmware removed should make it work again.
But if your going the route of marrying a known working BD. You might want to make sure your WiFi/BT module is connected properly first.

After that is installed, install toggle qa flag pkg, and run the app. Reboot the PS3 once and...

Use the e3 flasher to get identical and valid dumps. Patch dump to latest OFW and write back to NOR. Reinstall latest OFW from USB drive.
Then your PS3 should work again like...
