Cant upgrade to 4.21 after using 999 downgrader

Hi guys/gals

Having a bit of difficulty updating my PS3 back to 4.21 from 3.55 rebug

Basically i updated it about but was having problems getting things to install properly and games to run. so i used Rebugs downgrader...

However i have finally clicked on to why my games wouldnt load etc and have decided to go back to 4.21 has it allows PSN access and newer games to be played without certain patches.

Only trouble is when i try upgrading i get the prompt for an update newer than Rebugs 999 downgrader which im guessing my PS is thinking its on 4.21 which it isnt...its on 3.55

Any ideas or possible suggestions...

I've tried installing from recovery with 4.21 CFW and 3.55 OFW !!!

Thanks for your time

@ChopAxePiece , I am sorry to hear your having issues. I don't have any help I can give you. But I will be watching this thread since there isnt a TUT for downgrading using the downgrader PUP. So I am hoping this will answer some questions before I jump. I hope you get your issue fixed soon.

try running toggle qa then flashing 355 make sure the qa flag is set with the button combo.

Are you sure you're not on the 999 downgrader? It won't let you go to 4.21 since it's syscon is 9.99

What you should do is use the 999 downgrader again go back to 3.55 OFW and then jump back to rebug 4.21

Makre sure you don't have anything in the drive or you'll wind up updating to whatever firmware is on the disc.
