Haxor!
I've always wanted to jailbreak my PS3. Mainly to mod offline because I know I can be banned. I already have a downgrade compatible ps3 Nand and usb drive just in case. Anyway, what would I need to buy to completely downgrade my PS3 without issues? I know I need something called e3 flasher, but I also heard I need a bunch of other stuff like sdhc card and downgrade dongle. Plus I hear buying the wrong dongle can mess it up.My goals are to downgrade my PS3 to 3.55, but also be able to switch to 4.70 (the latest) to play online (which I heard you can do). After I downgrade, I want to jailbreak (obviously) and be able to mod game files offline. What would I need to buy? If possible please leave me links to the best and cheapest things I need, but ones that are top rated and work. Thank you very much I really am looking forward to modding.

But StinkyNutz told me 40gb (older ps3s) are Nor. I'm not sure who to believe.

Just something you can keep in mind all slim models are NOR consoles, only the original fat consoles CECHA - CECHG were NAND
NAND consoles wont ask you to re-install Firmwares even if you changed your HDD with a new one. While NOR, it does.
- NAND consoles will save you from firmwares had HDD upgrade issue.
- NAND consoles took 9-12minutes to install a firmware, while NOR will only took around 2-3minutes.
PS3 Fat:
NAND PHATS
*CECHA = 256MB
*CECHB = 256MB
*CECHC = 256MB
*CECHE = 256MB
*CECHG = 256MB
----------------
NOR PHATS
*CECHH = 16MB
*CECHJ = 16MB
*CECHK = 16MB
*CECHL = 16MB
*CECHM = 16MB
*CECHP = 16MB
*CECHQ = 16MB
* PS3 Slim:
NOR
*CECH-20..A = 16MB
*CECH-20..B = 16MB
*CECH-21..A = 16MB
*CECH-21..B = 16MB
*CECH-250.A = 16MB
*CECH-250.B = 16MB
*CECH-250.A = 16MB
*CECH-250.B = 16MB
*CECH-251.A = 16MB
*CECH-251.B = 16MB

Depend's if Nor or Nand console and if it's the CECH model, Nor console's can simply be done by a Nor E3 Flasher and a SD (Dongle) card (I believe) but Limited Edition E3 Flasher (Cost more money) i believe it work's on Nor + Nand Console's (I think) So your best bet would be a Limited Edition as it come's with all the Content/Accessories with it.
