Technically, to remove the jailbreak, one would simply have to install an official firmware higher than 3.55 to the console.

On the xmb, at the top of the second column from the left, go to Update system... Update via internet and it will install the latest official sony firmware.

Afterwards, you will not be able to install another custom firmware or go back to 3.55, without flashing the console with a hardware flasher such as e3 flasher.

Really no reason to do this unless you are not banned and want OFW>CFW

i dont even have an option to update via internet, only with usb. and when i put the usb in that has the latest ofw, the ofw shows up but it wont let me select it. i wanted to do this because i already have another ps3 thats jailbroken and i wanted to have one ofw so i can just play care free on it and just use the other one for doing rtm, recoveries etc. i havent even really done any recoveries or rtm in over 6 months but just had another account banned.

Then just update via safe mode. There's an option in debug settings that can block the internet option which is probably what is happening. Make sure you quote us back!

So then you are on 3.55 DEX? You need to convert to CEX first.
