The original R Series bootloader relied on SHA-1 hashing and RSA-1024 signatures. In 2025, these are considered broken. The migrates your device to SHA-3 and ECC-521, closing a major supply-chain attack vector. Without this update, your device is vulnerable to malicious firmware injection via physical USB or network TFTP exploits.
This update is provided "as is." Failure to adhere to the pre-requisites, specifically regarding power stability during the flashing process, may result in a "bricked" device requiring authorized service center intervention. The v2 program disables the ability to downgrade to v1 firmware due to security key rotation.
