  1. Can we get sha256sum or a checksum of the update?
  2. How about the previous firmware? What should one do if the new firmware doesn’t work? How do I revert back to the previous working version?
  3. Is this applicable to the pro 4E as well?

Change the default configurations for _dsa.bin and _xfi.bin.

Does this mean that the new firmware is not designed for dsa? We need the dsa variant here.
