Note: Pay close attention when Renaming the firmware file. Do not change the last 3 letter file extension. Some computers show .bin others hide file extensions, don't add .bin since its already there just hidden from view. Avoid incorrectly renaming firmware example: FWA129.bin.bin or FWA119S(1).bin
If any update fails it's very easy to recover using official stock firmware copied to microSD card then Power-On wait until it restarts (1 min).
