Downgrade to 902 - No app or data loss

[SamuriHL]

@rduckwor I'm with you on this one. I'm going to sit tight until a few things are confirmed.

 

[rduckwor]

Yep. Someone who knows more than me will have to proof this one.

Thanks for the heads up SamuriHL; 232 is running just fine for me as well. Looks like Moto is locking this down; they gotta close to the soak test.

 

[SamuriHL]

Guys and gals, I'm going to supremely warn you now...if you do 235 you WILL be stuck there unless you wanna try an incredibly painful exercise in frustration that is almost guaranteed to fail. Without a 905 FXZ going forward is incredibly difficult. Going back is impossible. I personally am avoiding more leaks until the OTA is released. Take this as my friendly warning. Given my experiences with this kind of thing, you may want to listen.

 

[CBMGGM]

+1 It's not worth the curiosity. Been there done that as well. Not fun spending hours fixing a phone that was running fine in the first place.

 

[SamuriHL]

Yes, and as I just said in the shoutbox we've been discussing this on all morning, 232 gives us options. We have a working ICS build with it, and we can FXZ back to 902. At this point, unless you're seriously screwed on 232, then wait for the OTA to be official before doing another build IMO.

dancedroid:icon_ bananaancingNexus.... Read the warnings before diving in. dancedroid:icon_ bananaancingNexus... 232 it is, until OTA.

 

[SamuriHL]

That's my thoughts. Unless we magically get an FXZ for 905 (in which there's A method to go forward from 235 but even that's not straightforward) or an FXZ for the official ICS build, those on 235....well, I hope you like it. You'll be using it a while.

 

[CBMGGM]

I think SamuriHL has wrapped this up in his last statement. Unless your phone is messed up on 232 enjoy the early ICS treat and patiently wait for the OTA. We are going to miss you; I respect your integrity.

 

[CBMGGM]

Hey SamuriHL you might want to unsubscribe from this thread. I already predict that some knucklehead is going to take 235 and will run to you in desperation. You have taken this effort farther than any of us could have expected. Kudos Bra.

@SamuriHL, thank you SOM MUCH for the heads-up about .235! :hail:

I think I'll just sit tight on .232 until either the OTA arrives, or a viable solution is found since .232 has been working well for me.

 

[SamuriHL]

I'm publicly stating what I've already said to a few others...I will not, cause I can't, help anyone on 235. If you go there, well, sorry...you're on your own. Someone is working on it as we speak...someone freaking brilliant. If they come up with a method and I can script it, I shall. But, we are a LONG way from that and it's not a fun process even if he gets it to work.

 

[SamuriHL]

You're welcome. I don't want people jumping to updates that will cause them problems. It's one thing when we can FXZ back and get out of it. It's quite another when there's no path to move back or forward.

 

[altspeed]

LOL. I take no new road until I see all 12 of sam and timmy's feetprints in front of me.

 

[SamuriHL]

You see that unblazed trail ahead of you? There's a reason for that. mattigrof is looking into it and he said that we're basically screwed without 905 FXZ files. And he's the guy that wrote the process for the RAZR.
