I missed completely android 8.1
It was a year ago, it seems.
It proves that I probably don't need it…

But now not all the mega links are working.
In particular, I found two not working links:

1. AndroidTool (RKDevTool v2.58)
2. v3.0.2 FW update

So, before I try this, just a couple of dumb questions:

1. Is it OK to use this RKDevTool v2.69 instead?
I found it here, together with some threatening requirements for pre-built bootloaders etc.:
https://chinagadgetsreviews.com/down...ase-v2-69.html
I assume it is a newer version of the same tool, and it is still compatible with 2.58, but perhaps it is not?

2. If I'm successful with android 8.1, I assume that I don't need that missing FW v3.0.2 because I downloaded v3.1.0 and v3.1.1, so I can update to v3.1.1 directly, it includes everything, not just incremental changes from v3.1.0?

My Mimas and Ares also could be upgraded to 8.1 but I have only one of each of them and more than one Alita, so I feel I should start with Alita. Also, I mostly use Alita lately.
