Basically, im asking for the original firmware for N647 to try and downgrade back
BTW will usb partitionning mode work for that? or do i have to do something else? (do i just put the file in the created partition?)
Thanks a bunch,

Basically, you unzip the needed firmware in the .kobo directory (including subdirectory that is in the zip file) and then safely eject your device.
It will reboot and installing the older firmware by itself.
You don't need to (re) partition it.
This works for downgrade and upgrade the same.
Thats how it works in the newer devices, I don't know for the N647 and which firmware file you need as I don't see that model in the firmware list.
If you want to flash an image,then you would need a img flashing program for it.

There you can ask for an image too, I am almost sure that davidfor will have it.
