This will format and bring you to a black screen asking for you last syscall (last cfw you had installed)
4. reinstall your last cfw or a downgrader
then you will be on a cfw or a downgrader hopefully.
You don't downgrade a hdd, you downgrade firmware. You are able to downgrade firmware because you have flashed the memory of the ps3 to unlock the ability to install a lower syscall, which is the part of the jailbreak that is stored in the memory. But only upon initial jailbreak, after that you rely on cfw to downgrade, which are equipped with the ability to lower syscall.

You can buy them from most electronics stores/pc stores/ebay etc or all ps3s have them. Doesn't need to be from a specific model, nor from a ps3 for that matter.
2.5" sata hdd is what you are looking for.
