Hi Martin, So long as he is aware. He will also possibly run into difficulties with the warranty if he ever needs to invoke it. Just mentioning that as some people can be quite particular about this. Would you mind possibly posting the link to the download site for the firmware files? It may help others in a similar situation later. All the best, _______________________________________ Have a pleasant day, Kind Regards and Best Wishes, Hussein.

I've sourced a site for the flashing files thanks. This is for a friend who needs to revert back to a previous version, I've warned him about this but he has no choice (or so he says). Firmware can be forced using the Phoenix service software suite so he is going to have a go. Thanks again.
