[GUIDE]Downgrade the undowngradeable phones

---

Hi guys,

I'm very prowed to say that I succesfully downgraded my phone.

I nearly tried everything and nothing worked, always blackscreen
when booting with the old gb bootloader.

The probleme is that some p920s need a special
x-loader and u-boot file which nobody backed up. I just
got them and now restoring to gb will work for everyone.

Use this files too if you've downgraded from su760 ics port
and your having problems with network.

How to make your phone work on gb again:

1. Download this and extract:
mmcblk0p1-4

2. flash complere bootv21e when you are on ics

3. then go into fastboot mode with wkparks omap tool

4. open cmd and go into the directory with the downloaded files

5. type:
fastboot flash u-boot u-boot.img
fastboot flash x-loader x-loader.img
fastboot reboot

6. fix your imei

hope it works for you for me worked nothing else

WOW its working Thank u very much

Half a hour I read xbsals post the one whiches phones don't boot
after flashing the gb bootloaders would need a special bin which nobody has
because nobody made a backup. But then I remembered my post in samnos thread about downgrading from wrong flashed ics leaks with my first 4 partitions attached.

berni987654321 I have to thank you I have been using your u-boot.img and x-loader.imgfor a number of weeks it's helped me out on numerous occasions btw I have flashed only u-boot.img and x-loader.img and not nv1 and nv2 and not had to restore IMEI.

Likewise mate I stumbled across it after xbsall bootv21e did not work for me then I remembered samno's partition test which in turn led me to your files, I'm so grateful you backed these up.

no I flashed bootv21e my backup files and then 21a kdz but it doesn't boot yet, I'm now playing around with my gpt table cause I have probs with internal memory and mounting some partitions in recovery

I had the same problem with internal memory, Booted into recovery and factoryreset/data/nvram wipe fixed it for me.

Thank you berni987654321
It works!

Now I'm sticking to GB until CM10 gets stable.

Should be a sticky imo given the amount of users unable to downgrade from ICS.
