Ok, I've one question.

What does the flasher with the channel1.nvm ? Why must we replace this just at 6% ? There's no way to "force" the program to use the channel1.nvm that we want to use ? Or maybe there's some incompatibility with channel1.nvm from Gen2 updater and the rollback to Gen1 ?

Thanks guys.

The way I understand it, Channel1.nvm is a temp file which contains the radio's configuration data. It seems the updater reads it before erasing the flash and writes it back afterwards. It's not really designed to be tampered with, the borked IMEI is probably just an ordinary bug. Somebody found out that if one replaces the file at the right moment, the updater will use the replacement instead of the original. I don't think it's incompatible, since it's worked more than once for me. No idea why it doesn't work for you, sorry.

Thanks for your help.

Small update: I downgraded my phone once more, this time replacing recovery.img with the Gen1 stock one. It worked on the first try, my IMEI is correct. It might have been pure luck, since it's worked before sometimes, but I always had to try it a few times. In another thread somebody said that the NV is written back using the FTM protocol, which Clockwork doesn't understand. The flasher reported success in the end, which it hadn't done before when downgrading. So there could be something to it.

I didn't try it, but isn't the recovery image also flashed into the boot partition?

changed to 00003948XXXXXXX

not the original one...

Same here,will this have a negative effect on our phone ?

I upgraded to gen2 with windows flasher,then back to gen1 from the thread "gen2 to gen1 after windows flasher".

This is where I messed up IME number.

But I still have the channel1 file from that method,but now I back on gen2 with TPT method and cant work out how to restore channel1.

If I use the windows flasher and put channel1 in at 10% would this not brick my blade since Im on gen2 TPT ?
