E71 firmware downgrade

Hi,

I just made the e71 firmware upgrade. Not my best decision. I have a german keyboard (qwertz, not qwerty, and φόδ on it). The 200.21.118 firmware does not support that keyboard, so everything is a bit messed up now.

Is there a way of downgrading again? The Nokia Software updater keeps saying that I have the most actual firmware installed. But how can I get my 110.07.127 back?

You can't downgrade the firmware. Did you change the product code to get the new firmware.

You can't....not with the NSU anyway.

The only thing you can do is wait for the update to be available for your product code or find a product code that uses qwertz and has the update available, you will then get the option to reinstall.

You may be able to downgrade using Nokia Phoenix service suite or similar (google it) but it is still a risky business downgrading firmware.

Well, after the first shock I am getting used to the new keyboard layout. And as I am quite happy with a more stable wlan, i will not bing me in deeper trouble doing a risky downgrade.

Is it for sure, that an update of that size will sooner or later will be available for all product codes? It might be the easyest way to just wait.

Solved!

Yes, I changed product key to 0558785 and then I could reinstall the updated firmware. Everyting is fine again! New firmware AND german keyboard layout.

Thank you for helping!

Hi, sorry for bringing a thread from the dead, but I have a similar question... I have a QWERZ keyboard and I would like to have a QWERTY... How do I do that, if possible?

check out this thread, it shows ways to change the layout.

You cannot downgrade, but you can re-do the installation with the same version of the software and a different productcode.
