First off, you must have a PS3 on FirmWare 3.55, or lower, to mod it. If you are on a lower FW, then simply upgrade to 3.55. However, if you're on a higher FW, then you must downgrade using a hardware Flasher. Below is table for what models are downgradable and what flashers can be used on those models:

PS3 Model # Downgradable Progskeet E3 Flasher Teensy++

CECH-A to CECH-G

Yes Yes No Yes
CECH-H to CECH-Q Yes Yes Yes Yes

CECH-2xxx

Yes Yes Yes Yes
CECH-25xx Check Yes Yes Yes
CECH-3xxx No No No No
CECH-4xxx No No No No

Basically, all fat models are downgradable, if you have a NAND model (CECH-A to CECH-G) use Teensy++Citation Needed and if you have a NOR model (CECH-H to CECH-Q or any downgradable slim PS3) use E3 Flasher. For downgrading I suggest you follow a tutorial: Using Teensy++/Progskeet or Using E3 Flasher

Also, once you are on FW 3.55 you'll have to enter Factory Service Mode, to do that either follow this (see Chapter 2, Part 1), or use one of these devices.
