[00:20] <R1k3r> thank you thank you thank you
[00:21] <glevitan> np

So I need the right 'PD98IMG.zip'. The aahk normaly downloads the correct 'PD98IMG.zip' to make a downgrade. In 'hack-ace.sh' I find url to various 'PD98IMG.zip' files like 'PD98IMG-4.zip'. On the DHD of my friend runs Android 2.3.5 with O2 branding. Which 'PD98IMG-x.zip' (x stands for the number) must I take?

Thanks in advance!

Greetings,

Moritz
