replace a CID52 with a CID49

[malik786]

not possible dear i have already tried but phone not accept cid 49 flash files

CID 49 to 36 was possible but with the higher security such as CID50/51/52 its not possible to downgrade, Sony ericsson uses this so people like us cant mess with our handsets.

it won't works by lowering your cid52 to cid 49..its a problem..

A bit of searching and I found this thread

Can I downgrade?


On the third post it says:

If your OTP CID is 49, it may be possible to downgrade. Try to flash it with CID49 EROM.

PS: OTP stands for one time programming and it can not be changed. SEUS has changed your EROM CID to 52. So I guess flashing with CID49 EROM will help to have OTP CID = EROM CID = 49.

And my phone's
OTP CID: 49
EROM CID: 52
So that means I can downgrade?

Cross CID ( apply a flash with a CID different of the CID phone ) flashes can be maded with SETool FULL, but at end the phone preserve his original CID...

If you will find EROM CID 49 signed for DB2020, then yes ! :)
But this EROM is not exist ! :(

Are you shure??? if i remember, CID EROM on DB2020 phones can not be downgraded right?? :(

i think that the erom cid can be downgraded back to the version of otp cid. but only with service cable and software. /maybe only with hw box/

About the people saying they did it with DaVinciTeam... If you flash a CID 51/52 FW on a CID 49 phone with 3rd party tools (meaning anything but SEUS), the EROM doesn't get flashed. So, if both EROM and OTP are CID49 then it is possible to flash CID49 FW (atleast, that's how it was several months agp).

If I'm wrong, please do correct me.

As for today, there's not much point in lowering the CID because you can do almost anything with XS++ 3,0 an SETool Lite.
So, if you're planning to change the CID back to 49 (altough I don't recommend it), good luck, and do report back ;).
