If You are on OFW, then update to maximum 4.88 and use bgtoolset to patch the firmware. After that, install CFW (4.84.2 Rebug Rex, 4.86.1 Rebug Lite or 4.89.1 Evilnat). Instruction: ** http://www.**ps3xploit.com >Doma...eam** (ps3xploit.me =new)/help/bgtoolset.html

When You will be on CFW, remember to keep is safe place flash image which You've made during exploiting process, and dump ERK and IDPS keys. Additionally also set QA flag.

I recommend this guide by @Coro
https://www.psx-place.com/threads/guide-jailbreaking-with-bgtoolset.33461/

Install OFW 4.84 then use bgtoolset from PS3 browser to patch the console to allow CFW installation.
I suggest 4.84 because you can easily install Rebug 4.84.2 or any later CFW even without QA flags.

Anyway it's always recommended to enable QA flags and backup EID Root Key (ERK) after CFW installation

As final note: After you have installed CFW, you NEVER will need to install OFW or HFW again. Use only CFW to upgrade/downgrade.
