Installs OS 3.5 on Palm Vx

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

I'm running OS 4.1 now, but it breaks some of my programs
So I'd like to downgrade it to OS 3.5
But when I running the OS 350 installation kit (PalmOS350_ENG_PalmVx.exe),
it first installs PalmDesktop, and request a HotSync
after HotSync, there's a message on Palm to reset it
The installation program said that after resetting the handheld, the "Next"
button will active, and the installation procedure proceed
but after waiting for a long long time, that button is still inactive
I've tried this procedure many times, but it still doesn't work
Is there any other way downgrading OS ? or is there anyone who know how to
solve my problem ?

Thanks in advance

I can install OS 3.3, the procedure is the same with OS 3.5
But after downgrading to OS 3.3, I still cannot succeed installing OS 3.5
That "Next" button is always inactive :<
Can I execute "write flash" program (if any) without FastInstall ?
