To quote: BIG NEWS FROM E3 TEAM
E3 FLASHER , downgrade 3.72 to 3.55 successfully! Dual-boot v3.72 and v3.55 successfully! With E3 FLASHER, all is so easy, just switch and works!
And another BIG news is E3 will provide NOR FLASH CLIP free in our 3K limited version! So all Slim models now supported and versions of FAT consoles with NOR and no need to solder anything for downgrading, or dual-boot!
NAND FLASH CLIP also fininshed, will be available in the new up-coming E3 FLASHER NAND version.
E3 Flasher shipping date will be with little delay because of adding extra NOR clip. We will inform shipping date in next few days, sorry to bring inconvenience for our E3 pre-orders.
We noticed most users are afraid of soldering wire, so we cancel NAND flash support on limited version, and will release a new e3 flasher specially for nand flash console with nand flash clip.
So for nand flash console user, please wait the new e3 flasher, should release in few weeks.
PS: All e3 flasher limited version include nor flash clip, you need NO solder on those nor flash console with downgrade function.
