Is it possible to downgrade TTG 700's firmware?

Wazza_G

Hi everyone.

Thank you for the advice on my last question, most appreciated! :D

I was wondering as i've upgraded my TTG 700's firmware, i now find that i can't use the what can only be seen to me as an extremely useful bit of software called POI capture. Sad

So has anyone downgraded their TTG 700's firmware?

If so was it successful or did you manage to turn it into a brick!

Were there any other problems or pitfalls that i should know about?

I have managed to obtain firmware 5.201, but cant seem to find 5.202. Confused

I won't use it yet until i know that it can be done safely.

Thanks.

I have upgraded and downgraded the software many times on my Go without any problems to test various software.

I don't see any problems doing it as the software on the 700 is the same
Get 5.202 here - http://www.automated.it/ttg-apps.html.

Maybe PGPS should make v5.202 available with the poi capture download?

I don't think you can downgrade the bootloader though....

Or it could be that they don't host it because it isn't 'theirs'. Rolling Eyes

Great i've downloaded several firmwares courtesy of the "oldboy" link.

But...

I've downloaded & unzipped the 5.202 file, there's just six files in it?

connect2internet
connect2internet.so
data.chk
install.bif
system
ttsystem

But there's no setup program or anything, how do i use them.

Do i just copy them over to my TTG anywhere or a specific directory?

Sorry for asking all these questions, its just i can't afford to turn my pride & joy into a brick! Sad

has anybody clicked on the link that was suggested above? It's certainly not what he says it to be http://www.automated.it/ttg-apps.html.

Here's another just as useful link http://www.subservientchicken.com/

It's just got an extra full stop at the end of the URL.

Try this one. It works for me.

And sorry if you were just trying to be sarcastic, but I really liked your other link Laughing

Ah yes, it's works now. Glad you liked the other link, have tried to get him to hide? or throw the cushions?
