Title: Why is it impossible to downgrade from OS 3.9?
Post by: northern_snow on August 19, 2014, 05:13:07 am
What if I flash the boot2 through TTL?
Thanks!

As nLaunch works at boot2 level, you might be able to use it (possibly with modifications) to downgrade it I assume. But maybe there is something that I'm not thinking correctly about that would render this impossible.

nLaunch works on boot2 3.10.16 only, not higher, and this version of boot2 only works on HW < J.

Well it's confirmed that it's still possible to downgrade OS 3.9. First delete OS, then delete boot2 and flash boot2 through TTL, then use nLaunch to enter OS 3.1 and use the NandManger to delete the minimum OS information.

But as I said, only possible on older calcs.

Hmmm you are right. Only possible on HW<J.

Wait, so it is possible on older CX models after all? I thought it only was possible on non-color models such as the Clickpad and Touchpad. ???

in any case : on < J models, yes.

If 3.9 is already installed, then you'd need external hardware (to reflash the nlaunchable boot2). If it's < 3.9  then it's easier.
