This what makes me not sure about the firmware version because i know backup and restore don't related to firmware...

I think your right. It must be my imagination after all. I have a question Why i can't Update the firmware to CFW v3.55 from Recovery Menu since I'm on OFW 3.40...?!

You should always update to OFW 3.55 first. Then install CFW from the xmb. If you get an error from xmb, then install from recovery.

I update to CFW 3.55. Should i install OFW 3.55 and then install CFW 3.55 again ?!

If it ain't broke don't fix it. LOL.

If you ever have problems later, it might be a good idea.

There are added syscon hash checks on firmware higher then 3.55. So when you downgrade you have to use a firmware with these checks removed. Like Rogero.
If you downgrade to, or install a regular CFW or OFW that does not have the checks removed, PS3 goes in a syscon hash panic. And bricks.

So dehashing, does just that. It dehashes the syscon checks. So you get to an OFW on or below 3.55. Then your PS3 is like it was never downgraded.
The syscon hash checks are gone.
