E3 Flasher Questions

I tried to do a little searching on Google but couldn't come up with anything really. My question is, if I downgrade to a CFW using the E3 Flasher can I install 3.55 OFW and then install a different 3.55 CFW? I am basically asking this because I don't want to risk bricking my PS3.

Any answers on this guys?

EDIT:
I would also like to ask if I downgrade to 3.55 and then update to 4.21 can I downgrade again? I read this on E3's site but not sure what to think:

@Kammmmi
You have to do dehashing first. Take a look at the guide below.

If you have 2 hdds, you can either half dual boot or fast dual boot.

Fast dual boot = Just flip switch on e3 and change hdd.

Half dual boot = Flash BIOS and switch hdd.

Or you can do the downgrade process again.

So the E3 Flasher can be used on the same PS3 several times?

Yes. They pretty much designed it so that you install it and leave it installed. That way you can fast dual boot, by switching the 2nd switch between OFW and CFW. To do that you need 2 hdds, esata docking station, and solder a couple wires when installing the clip. Then flip the switch and change the hdd.

Or you can use the e3 flasher like I do. And downgrade a ps3, uninstall, downgrade a different ps3, repeat.....

But yeah, you can flash your PS3 as many times as you want. For how much it cost it better be able to be used more than once. Lol.

Haha thank you so much for you help. I figured that you would be able to but from what I saw on their site I really wasn't sure. Didn't want to update and then find out that I couldn't downgrade again lol
