How do I get rid of the MR2 update?

[SpeedJunkie69]

Is there a way to get it off my phone and get it back to the way it was before I flashed it?

Only if you are rooted I guess.

Why exactly do you want to do that if you don't mind me asking?

If you're unrooted and try to flash an older version of the RUU in hboot Im not 100 sure if your phone will let you. Some one will have to correct me on that though

Ok, well is there a way to root now that I have the update or is it too late?

If you use the root method as it is now it'll bring you back to. With stock or mr1 depending on what you want.

Yes you can root anytime you want. But if you don't want to root, maybe you should try flashing the previous RUU like Forgetful mentioned. I have never done that before, so I don't know.

I can confirm from personal exerience that if you follow the steps to "root with adb" but on the first flash download the original or the MR1 RUU it will roll you back to stock with no ill effects at all...i went back to 1.12 from MR2 to take my defective phone back to Best Buy and it worked like a charm!

So, I'm trying to understand this idea as I'm relatively new to Android coming from many years on BB. You would have to root to return to a previous version of software? You cant just load and older RUU on the SD card under the same PG___img name and flash that?

From what I've been told, no you can't do that. You have to root in order to downgrade back. So my original question turned into another one, how can I root the TB when it has MR2?

Hmmm, well the BB was easier to work with. I'm still trying to learn about how to manipulate these Droids.
