You could try using a hex editor on a 2.02 bin file and see if you can't find the version string and change it to 2.04 (or you could try 2.031) and see if it's just a simple version check not allowing you to downgrade. Note: Do this at your own risk. (I'd try this myself but I haven't a reason to... yet.)
