Hi. Can I use this method to downgrade from android 11?
Hi, if you have not installed any extra update since installing Android 11, then it should work. But if you have installed additional updates, then it will not work.
You can either visit Nokia Care or buy remote flashing service.
Hi,
I have updated my Nokia 2.2 to 2.300 SP05. But the notifications issue did not resolve. I’ve international variant TA-1188.
Can I update to 2.370 manually?
You are already on a newer update. What you will need to do is to change your boot slot which will bring you to June update – 2.300 SP04. After that, you can sideload the 2.370 file by following this article. And then finally you can take the July update again – 2.370 SP01.
Hi, it says “adb.exe sideload requires an argument” when I command “adb sideload “
Yes, you need to serve the file in that command. adb sideload
Mine also is 2.300 SP05, how do I change boot slot to 2.300 SP04
Hi, I’m getting a downgrade error when the package verification finishes, I have android 9 with the latest security patch
It says
E: Update package is older than the current build, expected a build newer than timestamp 1593597266 but package has timestamp 159247777698 and downgrade not allowed
hope you can help me
Hi, it won’t work if you have already updated your device to the July patch on Android 9. The build is based on June and is older than the July build.
Oooooh, that explains everything, so I just have to rollback to the june patch by changing the selected slot on fastboot mode, thanks for your help m8
Yes, I hope that slot change helps you in installing this update. It should since that other slot should be on June update with a payload timestamp older than the one in this update 🙂 Good luck!
Yes, it worked, thanks man, without your firmware I would have got android 10 like in one more year or so, but now I have Android 10 with working notifications
Can we flash the above build v2.37 through SD Card using recovery mode for Nokia 2.2? Kindly guide me, these kind of stupid bugs are very annoying for me.
Yes, you should be able to sideload it from SD card while in recovery mode. But since you need the PC to enter recovery mode, you can just do adb sideload too.
