    Default Firmware down grade V2

    Hello,

    I know it has been asked before, Is there anyway to 'force' a firmware downgrade? I find it hard to believe that it can't be done. And if not possible, on what chip is the firmware stored?

    It has always been stated that no reversals are allowed or even supported. Did you loose something? What is the reason behind wanting to downgrade?

    I just bought a used V2 for cheap, my first v2 has unlimited LS1B stream but the USB doesn't work and is not repairable, I have send it out. So the firmware of that one can't be updated anymore. The 'new' one was accidentally updated. For the tunes to work, i need use an older version of 7.5, 299. But that one isn't compatible with the newer firmware. so i would like to downgrade the 'new' one to math my old one

    Old tune file formats can be compatible with new firmware. Open the tune file, press save to update the format and you are good to go.

    It's not supported and not much else you can do. Cindy provided an option to upgrade your tune files, but once the FW on a V2/AC is updated, there's no going back. All modern software development is "fix-forward", newer firmwares and software versions have both new functionality and defect fixes so there's not a reason to use an old one.

    I figured it out, I will run virtual PC on my laptop and install the older version and the new one.
