Alright so many of us have decided to try out the new downgrading from 3.55 to 3.41 and have gotten stuck trying to go back to 3.55 with corrupted data, so here is a tut that will show you how to get back to either 3.55 official firmware or 3.55 custom firmware or pretty much any other firmware you want...
Requirements
you will need a dongle that can get you into factory service mode, the lv2diag files [You must login or register to view this content.] and you will also need the 3.55 ofw, 3.55 cfw(if you want to go back to custom firmware), the 3.41 modified pup, and you will need another firmware lower than 3.41(I used 3.15)

Step 1) put ps3 into factory service mode with your jailbreak device, or jig key (doesn't matter what kind even the itouches can work if you know how to do that)
Step 2) turn off PS3...then on the computer, put the lv2diag from FILE1 and the 3.41 modified pup onto the root of a formatted fat32 usb stick.
Step 3) plug the usb stick into the far right usb slot on your ps3 and turn on the ps3, let the ps3 do its thing and it should turn on but not show anything on the screen, then after about no more than 5 minutes it should turn off.
Step 4) On your computer replace the 3.41 modified pup that's on your usb stick with a pup firmware lower than 3.41 and keep the lv2diag from file1 on the usb stick as well.
Step 5) plug the USB stick back into the ps3 and turn it on again, it should do the same thing again as it is downgrading once more to a lower firmware (steps 4 and 5 is required because the modified firmware from 3.41 is actually read on the PS3 as a 3.56 firmware and that is why it does not allow us to go back to 3.55)
Step 6) Once the PS3 turns back off, delete all the files on your USB stick and put the lv2diag from FILE2 onto it(this is the file that allows us to get out of factory service mode)
Step 7) Plug the USB stick that has the lv2diag from FILE2 into the ps3 in the far right usb slot and then turn on the PS3 and let it do its thing and it will turn off again in about 2-3 minutes.
Step After this is all done, update your ps3 to 3.55 fw via usb stick or throught the internet and you should be back to 3.55 official firmware if you want 3.55 cfw, then you must do one more step.
Optional Step 9) After the 3.55 update is finished load the 3.55 cfw onto the USB stick in this directory Z:\PS3\UPDATE (the z is just the name of your usb drive, it can be different on your computer)
step 10) Once the cfw is loaded on the USB stick then just plug it into the ps3 and go to the system update and update via USB

go find the official 3.41 firmware and use that firmware to downgrade with now cuz the first firmware u used was a modified version..

soo im on 3.41 modified.

now i downgrade to 3.41 official then downgrade to 3.15 or lower?

Ugh...

If u try and go to 3.15 for slim u will fuc up ure ps3... but instead use 3.40 it worked for me

WOW i was thinking let my ps3 overnight downgrding, but with many magic. red ligh, out of safe mode, version 3.15 , now updating to 3.55


Hope It Works

THANKS EVERYBODY.
Balla make me a son, ahaha

lol make u a son???

/facepalm/facepalm/facepalm no this vid is how to get back to 3.55 if you are corrupted

well it depends, geohot's 3.55 cfw is pretty much a jailbreak without backup manager support, it allows for you to install package files they have to be signed but most files are now and if not you can get the tools to do it yourself or if you really want and cant find anything else I can try and sign it for you like homebrew such as file manager or ftp server so u can transfer patches for CL's or actually play emulators like a snes or gameboy, the possibilities are endless!
