Hi all,
My trusty olf Medion E5004 (or rather one of many i've had) has a battery thats on it's last legs. It holds out as long as i don't charge it to 100%... if i do then it randomly gives up the ghost at any point of the day. Obviously it's dying. I could have ordered a replacement battery for it but given that the screen is lightly cracked and it only has 1GB of ram i thought i'd hunt for another android 5 phone.
Found one on ebay - Wileyfox Swift. Runs Android 5.1 and has 2GB ram. Perfect! Ordered it, turned up today running android 7.1.3!!!
The app I use will not work on that. However once upon a time before the previous owner upgraded it, it ran android 5.1 - allegedly.
So how can i find the original Rom for it and get it installed?
I have a very specific reason for needing Android 5.1 so any comments like "it's insecure, you get better features with new versions" etc will be ignored. Yes I am aware of those points but I NEED android 5.1 for a very good reason!
Thanks
