 								:#Using the Executable and an ActiveSync connection.
 								:::This method requires some additional handling before updating it [[H16#ActiveSync_Method|as described above]]<br>
 								::#First, make sure to know the checksum of the exe file.
 								::#Open the exe file using a HEX editor of your choice
 								::#Scroll down to the bottom. the last few ASCII digits/entire string represents the bootloader version and the OS version.
 								::#Change this OS version to a higher version. However, maintain the checksum. Save the file, and downgrade!
 								:::''Note: This version will only be used as reference. It will not be shown in the OS after downgrade.''
