Today we are going to share latest method to downgrade Jio phones permanently. So that you can install a custom OS and Omnisd file without any issue. Before going to jump into the process, it’s important to know that developer options are not available in Jio QUALCOMM and SPD devices. For this, we need to enable developer options by using third party apps. After that, apply the commands to block auto update on jio phone.

This tutorial is really very important for those, who want to install Ominisd in Jip phones after update 2020. Without downgrading the software version of your mobile, there is no other solution to access Omnisd app services.

Why We Should Stop Automatic Software Update On Jio Devices

As we all know, in the past it was easy to add an Omnisd app in a Jio phone by flashing the Omnisd zip file. After that, users can download and install android apps on their Jio phones using the Omnisd app. Actually, the Jio phone doesn’t support android apps, but we can activate them in Jio phones with jio Omnisd app or file.

Because of this, recently Jio started updating their keypad devices with patched files to prevent their device from third party apps installation [OmniSD & Gerda OS ]. That means, once your device is updated to the latest version, you will not be able to install Omnisd on Jip phones. Similarly, if you try to downgrade the Jio software version with an older one, it will update again on the latest version because of Jio Auto Updater tool.

To fix this issue, we have to downgrade and block Jio auto update with advance trick. To perform this trick, we need to enable the developer option on Jio phone which is officially not available. But we will do it with another un-official third party apk. After that we have to run some adb commands to gain root access on Jio phone.
