None of the PW4 serial numbers start with G090.

One of the disadvantages now that it's public. Back when it was PM only, I can screen serial numbers so people don't install it and brick their KT4, PW3, Oasis, Voyage, etc.
Is there a possibility of recovery via serial port? I'm assuming it would be possible to interrupt the boot process before it attempts to load the wrong firmware and recover from there. I don't have the hardware nor the manual skills to attempt this myself, so I cannot confirm this myself and refer the possibility to those who have or can confirm or deny my speculation.
