One thing that I've never been quite sure of, partly because the only directions for how to do the firmware updates come from the pirate sites, and that is.....
... the instructions from the pirate sites seem to suggest that before loading up new versions of firmware after using the clean file, that an old version of factory firmware should first be loaded, rather than just jumping straight to a new version of firmware. This seems to suggest that new firmware may sort of build upon existing firmware.
I'm guessing that the above only applies to the pirate software, and that for those of us who put on official factory firmware, that we can probably just jump straight to the most recent firmware version, but not being sure, I have always started out with an earlier version of factory firmware, just in case.
Anyway, do other people besides me first put on old firmware versions, or does everyone here just jump straight to the new 2025a version???
Just curious whether I've been wasting my time and/or possibly even contaminating the new upgrade with the old factory file.
