I just keep a copy on my computer.

If someone did that and they think its the reason why the OTA isn't coming I suppose you can write the old FA back to the car. If you don't code the ECUs after you do that, you shouldn't lose your VO coding.

mandomedic122 had the same 07/2019.55 version and modified FA and couldn't OTA and wanted to verify my observation. Unfortunately he had some other more pressing issues with the car with the dealer upgrading his to 03/2020.xx.
This made me interested as I've been checking on my app and in the car for an update and I've never gotten one on my M340i (currently on 7/2019.55). I edited the FA back in December to remove 5AP so this made me think if that was it.

Yesterday afternoon I restored the backup FA I made before making changes and wrote it to the car. Didn't code any ECUs so technically I should still have anti-dazzle lights but I'm still seeing no updates available in the car and in the app.

Also I have an Android and I haven't heard of any users getting an OTA update with an Android phone.
