Downgrade help

I am after a little help from you kind people out there if possible.

Today I spent a lot of time trying to downgrade using the E3 flasher and the E3 card reader and got as far as installing OFW3.55, however, immediately after this I now get the flashing red light. Looking back at the tutorial I followed, I stupidly missed the point that after running the toggle_qa.pkg if I get a black screen I need to remarry the Bluray drive. I missed this and continued to install OFW 3.55

Can anybody point me in the right direction please, I would be most appreciative.

Apologies for my complete lack of knowledge on this, but are you suggesting start the tut from the beginning again?

I cannot re-flash as the console does not load to the XMB.
Straight to flashing red light.

Ok, so I've soldered the wire and flashed my original dump back on with switch 1 up and 2-5 down, but my console still wont boot. Stuck at the flashing red light.

Any ideas, I'm at a loss again?
