ok i have been going over the guide and i think i have a solution.
but i think i need to re-write some of it with your help.
can you re-do the following steps:-
in the tab (installing the downgrade patch)do the(one-key downgrade) step
then
(Finishing the downgrade in service mode) step
once you do this part of the above step:-
click here
After triggering Factory Service Mode, go to the folder called “service mode files” & in there is a folder called “service mode 3.55 downgrade files” put the contents of that folder into your usb stick and plug it in the PS3's right most USB port (remove the dev usb & put your usb memory stick in its place)
(the files are rogero cfw v3.2 and the normal Lv2diag.self (365.5 KB) 3.55 get in FSM )
Turn PS3 on, it will install the firmware you had put there (even though you have no screen output, you can see it is busy by looking at the activity led of the hard drive and of your USB Mass Storage Device).
then swap hdd's and re-do the above again.
once the second hdd is done then get out of service mode.
swap hdd's again (so ofw hdd is in the ps3)
and now do the de-hashing step (check your not still QA flagged by doing the button presses. you shouldnt be but better safe than sorry)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
now at this point you should be able to boot as normal with the switch set as ofw and cfw (the fast dual boot should be turned off now)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
let me know when you get here.
or if you have probs getting this done.

As far as the steps go, I only verified dump by following the guide. Let me give you the highlights. I was good following the guide up until finishing downgrade in FSM. Once this was done is where the problems began. First, I was getting the screen where 
I installed the first set of files but PS3 cut off (probably from overheating). When I tried to continue...nothing. I have since, changed the thermal paste and here we are now with 3 beeps and blinking red lights.

your ps3 is now in a panic / brick
you need to solder the tristate to sbe on E3 linker or solder tristate on ps3 to a gnd on ps3
set flash fun on e3
this will then halt the ps3 and stop it shutting off.
now re-do the guide from (installing the downgrade patch)
when you have finnished that step then remove the tristate to gnd or turn flash fun off if tristate is soldered to sbe on the E3
ps3 should boot to connect controller screen. turn off ps3 and do the downgrade in fsm step.
good luck
