Playbook isn't Letting me Degrade

**r0v3rT3N** · 12-07-2011, 02:57 PM

Well, I followed the tutorial on how to degrade the Playbook from O.S 2.0.
It didn't work, I start downloading the previous O.S and then an error pops up.
I screen capped the problem.
I turn off my Playbook.

This pops up.

I click update.

The error pops up...

Anybody get this error?
I'm following this guide:

did you wait for 1 day before attempting to downgrade? you might have to wait maybe an hour or two over the 24 hour mark

I read this title and I thought you wanted to degrade your Playbook by commenting on its weight in front of its friends.

**ksean007** · 12-07-2011, 03:43 PM

Look at the last picture, that's what happens after I click update...

You need to follow the direction in the last screen capture, "please try again."

Make sure you use a rear usb port on your computer and not a hub or a front port.

You should reboot your pc before you try again. I have also seen where this problem can be caused by a corrupt os download and finding the file and deleting it will fix the problem.

Thanks for the heads up, I will try that.
