  1. Nevermind. The download of that file (stable version) had failed and I hadn’t noticed. Although I should point that out, because it failed many times. Maybe you should upload the files to another server.

    Again, thank you very much for the post. It all worked out fine.

  2. Hi, first of all, thank you very much for the post.

    Now, I had some trouble during the process; specifically, at step 7. When I select the stable version, the phone says “Installation failed”, and gives an only option which says “OK”.

    I should mention a few details, though:

    The version from which I downgraded was 3.5.6, not 3.5.5.
    And I changed the name of the zip files, so they would be more easy to identify.

    Other than that, I did everything as it says on the post.

    Hope you can help me, and, at the same time, help anyone who’s had the same issue.
