Yes, sorry, firmware_flash.rock from the 2.1 distribution had a new safety
check which was too picky, it complains about old recorders or early FM flash
content. Use a current one, please. I will exchange the plugin within the
distribution.

Correct, please never ever think about renaming stuff. If it doesn't work
right away, don't force it. The safety checks are there to protect your box,
don't try to circumvent them. A non-flashed box is way better than a misflashed
one.
