I don't remember having to downgrade my debug, I thought they only blocked CFW on retails as you're not supposed to downgrade them. But there are links here if you want or need to https://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/3.55_DECR You should be able to downgrade just by installing it, because the development kits are allowed to be downgraded.
You need to use the decr OFW 3.55 update, there are weird firmware limitations on tools. Btw for ease of use probably best to copy the updater to the hdd when prompted
Flash 3.55 DECR PUP, flash REBUG 4.84.1 LE it is that easy. it doesnt matter how you do it and once again, learn to do some fucking research because this has been answered multiple times and is easy to find
