The seller said that he bought it in this condition. I asked him to contact the previous owner, but I doubt it will help us. Let's try to fix it blindly at our own risk. If something goes wrong, then I know a dude with a programmer.
This will remain on the conscience of the seller. I first tried installing firmware 4.87 OFW. Nothing worked. Then I decided to try to install the downgrade patch. I just made a backup before applying the patch and after reading about this problem on the forum I made a second one.
Thank you for reply. The thing is, I bought it a few days ago. Maybe this was the reason for such a low price ($ 100). The seller did not warn me about this. I will wait as long as it takes. Thank you.
