Downgrade and then disable auto update rbr750
Hey guys, abour a year ago I was lucky to find an amazing post on how to downgrade to a stable firmware and disable auto update.
It worked for around a year until I moved and made the mistake to factory reset 😢 now back to small cuts that mess up all my calls.
I would love to find that post again but I cant find it on my bookmarks or history.
Please help RBR 750 back to crap 😢
Please Fury? Anybody?
