How to Downgrade S/W Version

Hello Experts

Can you tell me how to downgrade the s/w version for my Motorola V220 mobile? Otherwise I can't unlock it with the software!

I am just one step behind for unlocking!

You advice is much much appreciated in ADVANCE!:T

    this may help, although i would recommend a pro unlock as things could go wrong

  • hi euglycaemic...love your nick, you in the medical field or training to be in it or something?

    anyways....from what I know sometimes you can't downgrade from firmware to firmware because of differences in what is known as a bootloader

    otherwise, try sites like motomodder or howardforums...they offer lotsa firmware for your phone as well as software to help with the flashing of the firmware onto your handset....

    however, i'd second drahcir's advise which is to unlock your phone in a shop as it prob won't cost beyond £10 (most likely to be £5 or less?)

    Hai drachir

    That is extremely useful. Though it looks bit complicated / beyond my expertise...will give a try and keep you informed

    Thanks once again.:o :o:o

    Hai

    [That was a good guess...but there is a difference between ''euglycaemic'' and ''euglycaemia'' ]

    I totally agree with you. I can get this unlocked for 5 quid. Because I have long way / reading many articles to unlock, I just want to give a try!!!

    You never know I might win?:T
