"Downgrade" with a brand new rm2 "out of the box"

[khorinisgefasel]

Hi everyone. Did someone try the switch.sh script already with a brand new rm2 device? I just got mine and I am wondering, if I softbrick it when I start it the very first (second) time and using the switch.sh script. Will the switch to the "other" partition work? Is it empty? Will there even be another version before? My device is on 2.14.4.46 now out of the box.

Thanks in advance!

Good question :) But you could update first - either to the now out-of-beta v3.0 (warning! notebook files will be converted and can't be opened with 2.x anymore!) or to an older version using this repo - and then switch back to your 2.14 partition. I just did a similar thing with a new rM2: update to 3.0 from 2.15, then switch back to 2.15, then "update" to 2.10, which I want to use, keeping the factory 2.15 as fallback. https://www.reddit.com/r/RemarkableTablet/comments/ztqutg/there_and_back_again_just_downgraded_to_210_from/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

Thanks again to the contributors!

which partition is it to mount? I also thought about this option.

yes, but then I take the option away to update to the version the rm2 had before. I am just curious. Where did you get the 2.10 update file then?

edit: ah, you googled for "remarkable firmware archive". Ok, thanks a lot. I was looking for the update files anyway. Big thanks!

btw why didn't you chose "2.10.2.356_reMarkable-Lp90j3g4at-.signed" ?

/dev/mmc something 2 or 3, depending on what is currently mounted as /
