Remember to not just use this program only for the checking your dumps. It is nice to have this but make sure to keep looking at the dump and go though it to make sure it is good. Verify your dump by hand and using a guide before flashing anything back. Thanks all.

To see if they have been properly dumped

Here is an update to PyPS3checker to v0.5 from littlebalup, to quote:

Major update of PyPS3checker to v0.5:

Download: PyPS3tools-master.zip / GIT

v0.5.0, (29 nov 2016):

• Added CFW and DEX OFW ROS hashs recognition (thanks to baileyscream and all CFW devs).
• Added trvk_prg hash check.
• Added "Additional information" field (HDD, MAC address...).
• Added some colored strings (optional, requires "Colorama" python module).
• Plus some additional minor improvements.

Many thanks to @BaileysCream for the oldest CFW hashs and to @Joonie and @Alexander for their support.

So now the checker should recognize if a "popular" CFW is/has been installed instead of a false "warning" check result with unknown ROS. However, the hash list is not 100% complete. So, please, if I missed something let me know by opening an issue on my git.

Thanks

Usually a false positive causing the alert due to the app's code or packing used to compress it.. the developer has been around for years with numerous github projects and is trusted, so most likely nothing to worry about.
