You must login or register to view this content.All you have to do to go back to the official firmware is download the official firmware of the version you're on or higher and update over the CFW.
Tutorial:
1) Download the official firmware you want for starters.
2)If the firmware isn't already called PS3UPDAT.PUP rename it to that.
3) On the USB drive you'll be using on the root of the usb( Not already in any folders) create a folder PS3.
4) In the PS3 folder on usb create a folder UPDATE.
5) Copy the PS3UPDAT.PUP file into the update folder.
6) Put your usb into PS3 then go to system update -> update via storage media, then just install it and your back on official firmware!
The reason I posted this is that I get HEAPS of private messages about this and other stuff about CFW and all that.. I have about 50 just about this so yeah...
You cannot downgrade from using this, for example you can't go from a 3.55 CFW and install a 3.41 official firmware

dnt work like that here m8. my m8 tried jailbreaking his phat ps3 with my geohot jailbreak and he can play games anymore. it freees when updating. he tried setting ps3 to factory state but it keeps system software. geohots is newer than the original one and therefore when he searches either through usb or internet it says you are uptodate with the software and there is therefore no need to update. this happens to me if i try to go back but i jailbroke successfully. any help?

Thought the factory reset was different, like this...
1. Power Off the PS3 via the power switch in back and power back on w/switch.
2. Hold Power Button on the Front until you hear 3 beeps.
3. Then go through the initial setup and then run a full Format via System > Format. (will take approx 3 1/1 hours). You may need to have our AV cables ready if your using HDMI (in case HDMI isn’t detected after initial reset).

No, it starts up and says a HDMI cable is found. Then it starts up normal
