Ok if you can install A9LH on 11.0 why are people downgrading?

To install a9lh, you need your OTP, which you can only get on 2.1. So people downgrade to get the OTP and install a9lh. But now instead of downgrading to 9.2, they can directly downgrade to 2.1

You can use the OTPless install but there are rare random bricks that can occur with it, so that's why people are just downgrading to get the OTP

Rare random bricks that I'm betting never happen in a clean, freshly formatted system without NID and a healthy, formatted good sized SD card .

If it had merely been the work of a few idiots, I don't think the _entire_ guid would have been pulled out. However, if the likes of Plailect and Aurora deemed the process as unsafe, it probably carried too many risks to be encouraged.

Knowing them I say they couldn't figure out what is really happening there (or was too dramatic to fix) and fasthax/safehax/sighax was too close to care anyway.

Being that said, otpless is yet to fail on me. But I guess I will ctrnand from now on, if it's that much of a hassle.
