Downgrade FM3 Firmware from 9.0 newer to Version 8 or olderUpdated 6 months ago

Downgrading the FM3 from firmware 9.x or newer to version 8.x or older requires a special process. To perform this downgrade:

  1. Power down the FM3 and wait five seconds. 
  2. Power on holding both PAGE LEFT and PAGE RIGHT buttons until the Emergency Utility page appears.
  3. Launch Fractal-Bot and install the desired firmware version.
  4. Reboot the FM3 when instructed to do so. 

After loading the older firmware, you will also need to ensure that the correct DynaCabs version is installed. Use FM3 DynaCabs version 1.05 with FM3 firmware version 8.x or older. 

Note that this special process is NOT required when downgrading version 8.x or older to any earlier version, or when downgrading back to 9.x from a newer version.
