Is there a way to confirm wether the factory firmware was successfully installed?

I can not see over your shoulder and am currently unable to channel into your mind, my crystal ball is off-line.
You started your description with Step #3 so what else was I suppose to think?
Let me guess, you are using a Mac. If so . . . .
Did you download the Step #5 archive with your Mac?
If so, you probably have its download options set to the: "Safe download(ing)" or whatever Apple calls their maximum user protection settings.
I.E: The Mac's downloader destroyed the required structure of the archive.
It is detected as a tar bomb but it is suppose to be a tar bomb, that is a requirement.
The "maximum safety" settings of a Mac will open the archive, strip the leading directory separator from all of the contents, save the contents to the file system (with the archive name as the top most directory rather than root), and then re-create a "safe" version of the archive, destroying the functionality required in this case.
Open a terminal session and download it with wget or curl rather than let the Mac automation get hold of it. I am sure one or the other or both is pre-installed on your Mac.
(or run Linux or even Windows in a virtual machine to download it or change your overly protective downloader settings)
