If you have other models/versions than those mentioned here as being applicable, don’t try this or you might brick your device! NOTE: I’M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT GO WRONG WITH THE DOWNGRADE – YOU’RE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! I can’t stress that enough! Apparently some people have had weird experiences with their downgrade attempts. So if at first you don’t succeed, please check em out. With more recent firmwares you might have to add some additional steps mentionend in the comments (thanks to all contributers).
