It's the same as upgrading...just installed the 4.6 OS, and uninstall the 5.0 from your computer so it sees the downgrade.

I tried what was suggested above, but it will not downgrade for some reason. Will go back from scratch and do all over. Thx for y'all help, I'll let you know how it goes!

I got it!!!! THX all.

But I didnt have to delete "vendor" from AppLoader, not sure why but this was THE way to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.6.

Glad to be of service.

I keep getting an error when trying to downgrade that the apploader will not work with my devices software 5.0.191. Do I need to have DDM 5.0 or will DDM 4.6 work to downgrade? Downloading 5.0 now so I may answer my own question.

Never mind yes you need DDM5.0 to downgrade from 5.0. Just letting you know that the search works in the forum.

Help. Trying to downgrade from 5.0.0.190 to 4.6.0.301.
I wiped. Now each time I try and load new system my bold reboots when the apploader trys to connect. The boot screen is still BB OS 5.0 splash.
Have tried numerous methods but will not load.
ANY suggestions? THANKS
