I can't go back using the older firmware? why? I don't want to use the current 51 firmware since many have experienced problem with it.
The 51 update includes an updated firmware for the GSM chipset. This is incompatible with previous OS firmware releases (and they don't include the old GSM firmware, so it can't be flashed back). The result of this is that installing an OS firmware prior to 51 will leave you missing all phone functionality (you can still use WLAN, etc though).
