How to downgrade / flash an older balenaOS version on Owasys owa5X?

Hi. Almost 6 years have passed since this response. Is downgrading supported now? I’m specifically interested in downgrading or flashing my device with an older version:

  • Type of the device: Owasys owa5X
  • Current OS version: balenaOS 6.1.0
  • Supervisor version: 16.6.1
  • OS variant: Development

Downgrading balenaOS over the air is not supported.

Downgrading by re-flashing a device in person generally works. Except in restricted cases such as the device firmware not being compatible with the older balenaOS version.

Where can I download the older version, and are there any instructions for re-flashing an older version?

@kamil-prenode ,

In essence you’ll be adding a new device and deleting the old one. So you can just follow the normal steps from the Add Device dialog:

Once you have provisioned the device, you can delete the older instance.
