Re: Going back to older ROM

I'm not really meaning to be cryptic, but i don't really know a good way to explain it. The radio is actually made of different parts and the part that i can actually access on my phone at this moment is still the same as the one from the 3.16 update i did. I have since put on the 3.35 and went to revert to the 2.17 (bricked in this process, but there were other variables). There are all sorts of different combinations of those parts that could have occurred, but i can't really backtrack at this point and as it's bricked i can't even access all of it to verify. This is what i mean by radio not being over written and my one statement of "it can't be done." =) I'm actually looking at the ram and doing a hex dump looking for version strings and comparing to rom radio updates for this info.
At this point there probably isn't any way to tell what parts of the radio were or were not properly overwritten in the downgrade process. All I know is the boot-up and Device Info screens displayed the proper radio version, and it worked properly for about six weeks until I installed the official stock 3.35 package. I also remember trying to use the internal GPS after downgrading the ROM, hoping that some settings were left behind, but it did not work.

This stunt was performed by someone with an apparent abundance of pure dumb luck; do not try this at home.
