DO NOT use the PW3-4G factory firmware on the PW3-32G device, it will brick the device.
People have tried that already and satisfied themselves that it produces a very expensive paperweight.
Thanks for your noted.
Because my PW3-32G can use bin file from AMZ US, so I think there is a chance.

As I recall from the bricking, it is because of a bad uBoot.

I wonder if it is possible to put the uBoot and uImage from from 5.8.10, and the rootFS from PW3-4gb 5.7.4.

I can inspect the rootFS with TestDisk, and I cannot see anything hardware specific in it ( at least, nothing major, all of that shoudl be in the kernal uImage. ), and I have a strong suspicion this would work.

I am going to do this with the PW3-4G I have at home, just as a proof of concept, but to test on PW-32 I would need a volunteer to possibly brick thier device.

@anhyeuviolet, do you think your friend would be interested in testing this at all?
@coplate I asked him. Look like I am the only one who care about JB a Manga device from this Group. Another using PPW-4G
