Because I've heared they're using different versions to update the Gen3s at the french meetup, I was thinking they have problems cramming the new FW in the older devices.
If you need to type your SN in at their website and they provide the appropriate download link, this could be easily solved (and works for your situation too). Maybe it's even needed to send them the really old devices for them to make the update, but anything is better then this endless waiting...
