De-hashing PS3 Failed

I was in CFW Kmeaw LV1 No Checks and I decided to install QA-Flag toggle,
so that I could de-hash my console.
After installing I've heard a beep and so I thought I was good for proceeding
with the installation of 3.55 OFW through recovery menu, and that's what I did.
After the installation was finished, the PS3 shut off and now if I turn it on,
it just stays on for a few seconds and then shuts off automatically.
Any ideas to what I can do now?

PS: I can't enter recovery mode either.

Hmm, I have installed QA toggle on my KMEAW and had no problems...

Did you enable the QA mode by pressing the button combo, etc?

Install and run QA-toggle and make sure it beeps
if you just get a blank screen and nothing happens then you have a faulty bdvd and you cannot do this step. try re-marry bdvd found in the main post then try this step again.

to check you are QA flagged Set your cursor on Network Settings and press the key combo (all at the same time):L1 + L2 + L3 (press left stick) + R1 + R2 + dpad_down
if you are QA flagged a new option will show up right below network settings

Power off console
Put unpatched official firmware (e.g. 3.55) on USB Mass Storage device as /PS3/UPDATE/PS3UPDAT.PUP and insert in PS3

Boot into Recovery Menu:
press and hold power button you get 1 beep then a wait then a second beep then the ps3 turns off
press and hold power button again you get 1 beep then 2 beeps let go of power button
select "6. System Update" to reinstall firmware.
If installation finishes without error (there will be no logs you can check!) and boots XMB OK, then dehashing was successful.
Congrats, you now finished downgrading and dehashing. Console runs 3.55 and any firmware of choice can be installed, no longer needing to be patched for downgrader.

Yes, I tried the button combo, but it didn't work.
I thought I was ok because the console beeped when I ran the QA.
Maybe I was wrong... Any solutions

?? why were you trying to de-hash?
is this a downgraded console?
this sounds like a bad firmware flash. does the power light flash red once it turns off and while it is off it continues to flash?

Did you download 3.55 CEX-OFW from here: http://www.ps3devwiki.com/files/firmware/OFW-CEX/3.55/ ?
(refresh the folder to see .pup)

Yes, it is a downgraded console.
I wanted to be able to later on be able to install a OFW or CFW of my likening.
No, it just turns on green for a while and then comes back to solid red.
