Windows Phone 8.1 has been the center of attention during these weeks. Despite only being available version for developers , many of you have upgraded to this preview.

This version of the operating system and finally promised has not disappointed thus integrates many upgrades and customization.

But most of them are happy with the upgrade, there will be people who wish to return to Windows Phone 8 . Whether problems with battery life , others with the camera or simply for the stability Windows Phone 8 provides.

If you tried or do you think we should say that restoring factory settings does not work to perform thedowngrade phone. All that will achieve is to erase our data.

To make the downgrade is necessary to reinstall the firmware and we can do it in two ways, via Nokia Software Updater or Nokia Care Suite . Before carrying out the process, we must consider the following:

• These methods work only on Nokia Lumia phones.
• Both methods will erase all your data from the phone.
• We should make a backup.
• Have your device fully charged.

The procedure to do the downgrade with NSU is the same as upgrading to Nokia Lumia Black. Download the program , run it and connect your phone. NSU will recognize it and give to update, upgrade and wait patiently.

While many have worked for them, not us NSU helped us make the downgrade , I try to make two phones and in none of the cases resulted. Both phones were Nokia Lumia 920.

Similarly happens with NSU to make a downgrade by NCS , continue the same steps to upgrade to Nokia Lumia Black.

We have to install the program, download the firmware you wish to use, connect the device and install. Can you visit the main article where you more detail the procedure thoroughly.

In the case of Nokia Care Suite, the downgrade worked perfectly , I realized what a Nokia Lumia 920 with a firmware for Nokia Lumia Black, a free version for Mexico.

As previously stated, these procedures are carried out under the responsibility of the conduct , despite rarely occur, may damage the device, so if you are not sure do not do it.

As I write this article, I'm updating my phone again to Windows Phone 8.1. In spite of that the battery lasts less and the resolution of the camera is concerned, is a great upgrade and I loved it.
