How to Go Back to 3.55 on PS3 Slim

Downgrading to the version 3.55 system update on your PlayStation 3 is an essential step when attempting to jailbreak your console. Many jailbreak programs are not compatible with newer versions of the PlayStation system operating software. Downgrading your PS3 is considered a violation of your terms of service with Sony and will void your PS3 warranty and may revoke your ability to log on to the PlayStation Network.
