If a PS3 is on 3.56 or newer firmware it can not be downgraded and trying to do so may harm the machine. If it is running an older firmware version it may be downgraded with a full format.

Can you Downgrade your PS3 from 3.30?

When you do the updates they tell you that they can not be uninstalled. Downgrade of an update is the same thing as uninstalling the update. Once the PS3 has been updated you can not get it back to the old programming. I don't believe you can even install a new harddrive and download the original PS3 operating system without the updates.
