Downgrading from 5.7.2 firmware

There exists, for the PW-3, KT-2, and KV deivces, a copy of the factory update_initial.bin install file.
Edit:
Add PW-2, 2Gbyte and 4Gbyte to the above list:

They are **expected to** re-install the initial factory load without regard to what is currently installed.

Currently **untested** in the field.

You might very well need a serial port connection to recover your device if something goes wrong with these update_initial.bin files.

(But if you have a serial port connection already, you don't need these 'downgrade' packages to get back to your 5.6.5 firmware.
You would only be testing the packages operation for us.)


PM me for a US side of the ocean download link if willing to risk your device for us.

There may be a Europe download location also - just watch this thread for that news.
