The issue is that people can't even flash the pre portico. There are two people that say they've done it while many others in the threads I posted
can't even go back to Rogers pre portico and are stuck. I will give this a try again myself now.
Read post 29, 30 and 33 of the same thread you posted. From this it seems that it's a one way and once you did a single OTA there is no way back. If you can't flash the pre portico Rogers there is no way of going back to ATT stock.
Edit1: just tried here.
it says you are flashing on device that is not supported.
When I then click continue anyway it throws an error Recovery failed. Platform ID fails. FFU not meant for this product and the phone reboots.
this confirms other posts of that same thread and the one at WPCentral. If you flashed Rogers and went to portico to Amber there is no way back to pre-portico.
thanks for trying to help. I was hoping you were correct and I missed something.
Maybe it works with the Euro Dev, but I read posts in the links I gave above that people had the same issue. You can't even go back to Rogers pre portico.
any other suggestions are welcome
thanks
PS: I am perfectly fine with Rogers Amber/GDR2. I don't have a single problem. Just would be nice to know there is a way back just in case it may become necessary in the future.
Should have left it at pmc64's simple answer:
Nope
cheers
