After many mishaps since I posted this topic: https://gbatemp.net/threads/i-want-to-make-sure-i-order-the-right-ingredients-in-order-to-use-freehdboot.534470/
I learned the hard way that I should only order the official adaptor with its startup disc like the one here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000051QDD/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My mistake was ordering that fake in the first place! Although, it was not entirely wasteful spending. I gave that new 2TB HDD to my PS4. Then I tried using my PS4's old 1TB HDD in my Gamestar to no success, so I gave it to my PS3 instead, now my PS3 now rocks a 1TB HDD, even though I must redownload everything again.
My final attempt was me using my 250GB HDD that used to be in my PS3. Same result. Black screen after Sony boot up.
Gamestar: Not worth my time.
So, I ordered the adaptor in the link. And I also ordered this IDE to SATA converter after doing lots of searching, and also after finding out that it's endorsed by SP193: https://www.ebay.com/itm/System-Tal...041063&hash=item2f1d074d14:g:GRkAAOSwweRbMLcy
Looks like it'll be a month before I get mine. It was actually cheaper when I ordered mine, though.
EDIT: I have new information in a new post down below.
