Can You Downgrade BlackBerry Q5 SQR100-2 Firmware?

Yes – but with caution. You can downgrade from 10.3.3 to 10.3.2 or 10.3.1 using an older autoloader. However, downgrading to 10.2.x is not recommended because the security keys changed. A downgrade will factory reset your device automatically. Re-flash the exact SQR100-2 autoloader
