So if I'm reading this correctly, if I were to try to Flash the Nougat FTF with flashtool (0.9.22.3), it wouldn't work?

Just making sure you are doing it correctly you turn off the phone, hold the volume down Jerry and then connecting the usb cable?

Yes, it is possible to downgrade after the update using flashtool You will need to have the ftf for the software version you want to go back to for the hardware version you have.

not might, will. I accidentally did this with something a few months ago and spent a couple days thinking I had permabricked my phone. luckily I got it working again. but be very careful

Ok guess there isn't a link so here's the thread where they update the beta releases http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39416182

what version of Flashtool are you using? If it is the newest from the Androxyde's site, that wouldn't work for me either, you need to use the beta release. There should be a link above to the thread where they update the beta releases.

EX300s bought through Rogers in Canada

I was downloading the windows version before I called it a night, because the ubuntu one is giving me a funny error I didn't feel like throubleshooting at 4am. that seems to have it fixed the problem though

I'm having the same issue with my ZL right now. two computers, one running Ubuntu, the other running Win 7. EDIT: I Just solved this issues with my ZL by using beta6 So perhaps give that a try. Well the light doesn't stay on, but it's flashing an ftf right now and that's fixed enough for me.

Volume up does fastboot, volume down does flash mode. When I hold volume down the problem is the LED flashes Green, then immediately red then turns off and then will not continue flashing.

So after my comedy of errors that was my playing around yesterday, I got my phone working again. Now I want to try again (and quit before the point that I broke it yesterday). However in fixing it I upgraded to 253 firmware, and I want to go back to 434. however I open up FlashTool get my ftf...

Thanks for all the help butatx, the PC companion fixed my phone up. I think I owe you a drink, are you going to be coming through Manitoba any time soon?

I'm using version 0.9.10.1 of flashtool If you can find that thread I will love your for at least a few hours, much longer if it works fixes my issue.

I run Ubuntu as my primary OS, so I didn't even think to try the PC companion, I'll give that a shot, but I won't boot far enough to load recovery.

I've been trying to flash a new ftf, but it get stuck at "Flashing Data" and the bar sits at 0% I can't backup anything any more and I can't flash the kernel because my phone doesn't have an unlockable bootloader, so I can't enable fastboot.
