Riding a tuned or deristricted EMTB is not a trivial offence and can have serious legal consequences. Also, many manufacturers can detect the use of a tuning device or deristricting method and may decline a repair under warranty if it was modified from the intended original specification. Deristricting EMTB's can also add increased loads for motors and batteries. Riding above the local law limit may reclassify the bike as a low-powered bike, requiring insurance, registration and a number plate.
Be aware of your local country laws. Many laws prohibit use of modified EMTB's. It is your responsibility to check local laws. Ignoring it, has potential implications to trail access, and risk of prosecution in the event of an accident.

You can search with data Manager of your phone
You downgrade using eTube app over bluetooth via android device, easy peasy, I just did it today.Looking at a "chip" that can be used with shimanos latest v4.07 software, as I am having difficulty in downgrading using steps unlocked.
1. Download E-TUBE and start for 1min (Android) and go out!
2. Download the file on stepsunlocker for Android (is a zip file ) unzip!
3. Search for the folder in your phone ( look other post of me)
4.replace the dat. files ( 4 files)
5. Start E-TUBE without internet connection and update
