    Can I run a custom firmware for system/copy with another model firmware? Thanks you
    You renamed the file? That won't work. I don't really understand the question, you can't generally use a FW that's released for Model "X" and istall it in model "Y".

      You are WAY out of your element here, otherwise you would know that this is all RIDICULOUS!

        thanks you! Because I don't know where to find the .rfu file. Right now I only have the fwu file but I can't load it on the SDCard. So those 2 files are different rather than just renaming?

          YES. And so is the process.
          Start a new thread!
          Tell us why you are trying to roll back the firmware in the first place?
          Tell the specific model you are referring to, and what 'issue' you're actually trying to resolve. Chances are it has NOTHING to do with firmware in the first place.
