You can usually download to a recent firmware safely, but, I think with the problems you are having, the factory reset is a good idea. The real question is what version you want to use. If it is 3.17.3, a few people have done this and it seems safe. But, if you are going further back, the above method is recommended.

Thanks a lot for the info.
Unfortunately, I don't know what version I was on, since I usually never connect it to the internet, to save battery life. I doubt it was the second-to-last, probably older.
I don't really care which one I install, as long as it doesn't freeze while using. I never noticed any differences between versions anyway.
Can you guys recommend a good version?
Plus, is there a more detailed tutorial on how to downgrade? Basically I have to swap the update package while the desktop tool is updating? Seems risky... did anyone write a step-by-step tutorial?
