Can anyone help me with this firmware downgrade? I'm so desperate and have tried all of the methods and I'm still stuck with 25200.

I tried dpierron's method of editing the .XML file but it didn't seem to work - is there some particular software that I need to edit .XML files? After following his instructions, I only get a grey frozen updater dialog window like PJ45 experienced in post #15, when I try to run the PRSUpdater 18040

I've tried GwynEvans method of tricking the PRSUpdater 18040 by altering the PRSVersion.dat file. I assume that I just can edit it through Notepad? Please let me know if this is not the case and I should be editing the .dat file with some other program. The same result happens as the dpierron's method - frozen grey dialog window...

I tried Zaesev's method of deleting all of the files on the Reader itself to no avail. Although I'm pretty sure that I'm not deleting the firmware files. The only folder I see the root directory is "database" - can someone direct me to the folder(s) that the firmware resides in? Where is the system partition? Can someone help me access it?

Again, would really really appreciate any help here - so desperate.............
