Never heard of firmware 508. Now *538* I've heard of, and used. It may well be that the app checks out the size of the internal flash memory to see if it's 64MB or 512MB, but the *operating system* is byte-for-byte identical between build 685 and build 538. Haven't checked build 708. Still, I think that there's a check in the updating script that monitors whether the currently-installed firmware is newer than the firmware one is attempting to install and which stops the update if that is the case. Change the script and you'll get an install.

But I'm not an expert on how to do this.
