You don't have to go through OFW 3.55 first, just install Rebug 4.30.2 REX from XMB on top of OFW 3.41 by following the guide below:
1- Install Rebug 4.30.2 from XMB:
Download Rebug 4.30.2 from Rebug's website, verify the md5 hash, rename the PUP to PS3UPDAT.PUP, put it on your FAT32 formatted flash drive in PS3\UPDATE, go to System Update and
Update via Storage Media. Make sure there's
NO original game disk in the drive and that you
DON'T Update via Internet or else you would risk installing OFW higher than 3.55!
2- Install Rebug Update Package 0.2:
Download Rebug_Update_Package_0.2_4.30.x.pkg from Rebug's website, verify the md5 hash, install it from Package Manager, launch it under the Game column and follow the on screen prompts, the screen will freeze for a while when you select Yes,
do NOT force shut down your PS3 at this stage or else you will get a nice and shiny RSOD! Just be patient and wait for it to finish what it's doing, it will reboot if needed when finished. This will update the built-in spoofer to 4.41. Once the PS3 has rebooted, you can delete Rebug Update Package from your XMB as it is not needed anymore.
3- Enable QA and Activate the Spoofer:
Go to Package Manager > Install Package Files > PS3 Hard Disk and install Rebug Toolbox. Launch it under the Game column, go to Utilities and change
Toggle QA Flag to
Enabled. This is to ensure easier and safer downgrading. Now go to Selector and change
System Mode to
Rebug, this will activate the built-in spoofer to prevent accidental updates to OFW >3.55 and allow PSN access (with ban risk).
Then convert to DEX by following one of the C2D guides.
