Hey Xsacha remember the time i told you I was going to try to downgrade my Playbook? Well. I just got home and I dug outt my USB cable for the playbook and connected it and on blackberry desktop manager it says my firmware version is 1.0 but my playbook looks normal as far as I can see If you need Screenshots I'd be more than happy to give them to you...

[mkaa00x]

Infact dingleberry said the same thing so i said lets go ahead and dingle it... and it said success... I am going to see what happens after it boots up. And post it here

[mkaa00x]

My playbook says that it is the latest version but it also says I can Upgrade to my current version... Which makes no sense

[rawr20]

Mind to share how exactly you downgraded? Iam interested to find out

[mkaa00x]

I dont think i really downgraded but simply Glitched... And yeah sure
So this is what i did I downloaded the 2.0.0.7111 and 4*** OS Updates for the playbook and i looked at all it's contents (my original aim was for a downgrade) and so I go get some choclate and eat it... then Ilooked at some of those files and saw this HUGE file that i thought was the OS. I changed the file extension to .rar and opened it (worked ) and then I looked into it and found a file called "Manifest" So I extracted it and changed it to .txt file opened it and saw that is said something about firmware version. So i took that info and related it to 7111 info and changed the text. I tried to install it but no luck. When I got home i took the USB cable and pluged it in and that's what i saw...

[mkaa00x]

OMG if it's asking me to Update then what am I doing standing here? I need xsacha to tell me what files to edit!!!

[mkaa00x]

And I also read this something on playbook elite imma try that too...

[mkaa00x]

Can someone get me the link to OS 2.0.0.79**??? There is no file on Playbook Elite...

[SifJar]

There is an edit button for a reason...

[rawr20]

so you didn't really downgrade? Just glitched your playbook software?

[rawr20]

Couple other questions if you do not mind were you able to dingle?? Did you try installing Market and it worked?

[mkaa00x]

Dingle had not worked but when I though it was just nothing any more I decided update... A dumb solution but I did and I saw the Update file was 3mb so I said this will be fast it updated and then booted up I typed In my password and I went to see if there was another Update... and there it was but this time 4 mb...!!! So now i have it connected to my computer and have found out that if we find some way to trick the Black Berry desktop to install any software... Lets try it

[rawr20]

Oh okay, well seems your onto something, I hope you can follow through and restore root best of luck to you

[mkaa00x]

tnx bro I was reading this article on a way to get the BBDM into thining to get a different update I tried it out my self and I had no luck... Plus I want to ask if anyone knows a link to 79** OS? Because I cant find it I have looked every where... sigh Can someone help me?

Guys, I have managed to downgrade to 7111, same as xsacha but this one isnt rootable too. Then I also tried to downgrade to 4869 which is possible to root and I did put firmaware into my playbook but because I was previously on 7971 I have that thingy installed which checks os firmaware at the boot and my playbook didnt boot up. So I had 4869 in my playbook but I couldnt turn it on. I had to go back to 7111. There is way to load any correct previous firmware but you are only able to boot 7111 or 7971. If we can get 4869 with NVRam flags then we can root. Thats all so far.

Also while 7111 my desktop manager showed me that my os is 1.0.8 bundle which made no sense. On playbook it showed 7111. I also tried Dingleberry and it said it has rooted my pb but then when I applied usb host script it said my pb isnt rooted. So that was strange too But still 7111 and 7971 not possible to root

[rawr20]

How did you downgrade joanne??

[mkaa00x]

Yo jo... Can i call u jo? anyways can you get us the bar files for 7971... it would really help plus how'd u downgrades???If you can tell me that It may make our lives alot easier

[mkaa00x]

Plus I might be able to some how merge the two OS maybe just Maybe... But I need help... I'm hoping that you and Rawr can help Hope you reply soon

[rawr20]

I have no programing experience what so ever! BUT I can test things

[rawr20]

Found you os 2 files. ENJOY JumboFiles.com - Dedicated Hosting

[mkaa00x]

Lol tnx alot but guess what i have only a very little bit so haha

[rawr20]

No problem

[mkaa00x]

So this is what I am thinking wait CAn you give me some sort of contact info like e-mail so it can be easier to talk or if you have fb/skype will do better

[xsacha]

Yes, this is as far as you can get. I have also got to this stage, it does not help because 7111 is not rootable .
