Good thing that your ps3 CAN be downgraded, as basically what that thing did, it checked your ps3's factory firmware and lucky for you, it was the one shown there( 3.40 ). If the result would have been even 3.55, it would still have worked but if it would have been higher than 3.55, for example even 3.56 there was nothing you could do to jailbreak that man.
About the downgrade process, you need to get ur ps3 to a specialised guy in your country which does these downgrades. I wouldnt recommend you do it yourself tho lol. Or if you cant find any1 you can ship over the border if thats ok for you.
Hope this helped
And what special tools do you mean exactly? What can be go wrong when I try to do it by myself?
