(Sigh; one knows you have done way too many upgrades when you can the names and cases of those files and directories right from memory).

You actually could at the same time place the corresponding files from the desired f/w level on the device in their place.

Peter, I may have to crawl through the internet and kiss you, just warning you.

How would I do it? Restore factory settings (necessary for a downgrade), update to new firmware - signing in to account and getting validated - then taking all those new files and pasting over them from the .zip file of my firmware of choice (maybe 2.4.x)? IS IT THAT EASY??

If not, how do I get around having to sign into Kobo?
