PS3 GLOD Help

Hey guys, new to the community and exploring my interest in PS3 repair with a CECHA01 model. I purchased the unit with the GLOD and wanted to see if I could fix it after some investigation or at the very least learn something I didn't know before. I would've already chopped off this unit to a bad RSX and only a reball could save it but not guaranteed. However the fact that I can get to both a screen informing me there's no HDD installed (properly when there wasn't) and to the recovery menu on a fresh HDD gives me some hope.

I found that with a freshly formatted HDD I was able to boot into recovery mode. There I quickly attempt a update with fresh firmware. Would do the update all the way up to the second progress screen and then nothing. Would eventually turn itself off and rebooting it results in GLOD and typically itself turning off again around 30 seconds in (no beep). Trying to re-enter safe mode but failed, never able to access the mode again until I take the HDD and reformat it with my PC.

Honestly this issue is the only thing keeping me going. I'm unsure how to further diagnose the machine. Still had the seal and was cleaned out of its dust (which was a lot). Had several 1001 errors but read this maybe result by improper shut off and is typically normal. I plan on ordering RIP Felix tantalizers and replacing the tokin capacitors anyways. Worst case I get some experience soldering.

Super curious what the community thinks and if there's anything else I can test further. Forgot to mention but notice the RSX remains cold on boot and the CPU and PSU is the only things causing heat (especially the PSU) unsure if this is normal since I don't have anything to compare.

Thank you in advance!

Thanks to RIP Felix video tutorial I had a much better understanding on how to work with syscon. Was able to boot into internal mode and get the following:

Bringup isn't crashing with an error (why there's no YLOD) but I notice the SSM state gets to 0500 while most YLOD units get to 0700. My question is what is SSM state and do we have a list of its steps so I can see what's it getting hang up on?

Also in my case the PCI remains powered off. I experiment with GLOD on a working COK-002. No video signal. I haven't tried to format the HDD yet (why do you have to do it in these cases?). I'll leave you my syscon report so you can make a comparison.
