Someone please tell me how to downgrade back to the old os?

[stillborn86]

Just open Desktop Manager, connect your device, click on the Application Loader option, and the right button should bring up a window allowing you which OS you would like on your device.

Mine, for instance, is running v5.0.0.230 so I get these three options:
1) 5.0.0.230 (Current)
2) 4.7.1.61 (Preferred)
3) 4.7.1.[whatever]

From there, just click on the bullet beside the OS you want and follow the directions and you should be all set.

which os didnt you like? the new 4.7?

[Ludee00]

Yes the new official 4.7
It gave all of my contacts custom ringtones/sms tones and pictures. Now I get confused with who is calling and can't get this annoying tone off my phone.

[Ludee00]

Glad I waited for this wonderful UPGRADE

[anon(67796)]

lol i dont think anyone like thats OS.....i just changed from that OS to the hybrid 5.0.....love it so far..

[Ludee00]

So you think I should downgrade or take the plunge??

[anon(67796)]

totally up to you im always taking plunges and see whats happens, i mean its pretty good to me and its more responsive, i mean you can try it and if you dont like you can always downgrade.

[Ludee00]

True, True.
Would you mind informing me of the link that worked for you?

[MedStudent4Now]

[anon(67796)]

This seems to be getting complicated- crap! I will be up all night with this and I have to make frigging Turkey. LOL

here is the thread that helped me install my 5.0 hybrid.......if you look at this thread it should get it pretty good, its a pretty simple procedure.

[Ludee00]

Didn't get the thread??

[anon(67796)]

basically in a nutshell:

1) Install the .230 on your computer, then install it on your Tour
2) The after its done, install the hybrid
3) after it installs, then the shrink a OS and check off everything that you dont want on install
4) then run the app loader and install the hybrid 5.0.....

[anon(67796)]

if the app loader doesnt recognize your phone then i will help you with that process when you get there...

[Ludee00]

1) Install .230 on your computer
2) Install hybrid on computer
3) Run shrink-a-os
4) Wipe phone with bbsak (optional)
5) Use shrink-a-os to load the os onto the phone, not DM

That way, you only load the phone once.

Can I install the 5.0 for a Verizon phone? I really would like for my tour to run faster. Is this really worth it to download the 5.0 FREE verison? (not premium)
