Need to downgrade, as i realised 4.4 don't have asus backup & restore app. Have actually make a backup before upgrading using asus backup & restore app.

Thanks in advance.

Can i paste this file Jelly Bean 4.2(WWE_A68-10.4.17.7-0- ota-user)to the root folder to downgrade?

Asus wrote this on their upgrade to KitKat for all SKU'S
"8. App Backup→ will add it back in further run FOTA"

Asus also wrote this in their changelog "※Firmware update cannot do * SKU conversion* and downgrade version."

I'm not sure if it's possible to downgrade, but some developer should have an answer for that.

So if they include App Backup & Restore in future upgrade then it ok. So long I can retrieve it later. Still running Kitkat...so it a keeper.

Thanks
