Hi, I would like to understand what the latest firmware for the Sovol SV06 is. On the page [Firmware Download](https://www.sovol3d.com/pages/download), there is a link to “Sovol SV06 Latest Firmware (24th Feb 2023)” that leads to two files on Google Drive: 1. “ **SV06\_V1.8.3.bin.crdownload** ” dated _January 13, 2024_ 2. “ **SV06 Firmware Update Information.docx** ” dated _January 12, 2024_ Inside the docx file, there is mention of firmware SV06V2.0.0A\_2.24, which was released in February 2023. The name of the .bin file, presumably the firmware file, raises several questions: 1. Why is it named V1.8.3 if the latest version is V2.0.0A\_2.24? 2. Why does it end with .crdownload? crdownload is the extension Chrome adds when a download is incomplete. How can one trust a file named like this? 3. Why were these files updated a few days ago if V2.0.0A\_2.24 is firmware from almost a year ago? Thank you Dario ---

Got some help from the Sovol Facebook group, the SV06\_V1.8.3.bin.crdownload firmware is an empty file. DO NOT use, it will brick your device. ---

Thank you, Timber, I had this suspicion! It’s incredible that Sovol support completely ignores these questions and this issue. ---

It appears Sovol has updated the page for firmware updates: [Firmware Download](https://www.sovol3d.com/pages/download) . As per this page and the email I received from the support team, the latest firmware version for the stock SV06 as of today is: SV06V2.0.0A\_2.24-BCI.bin . In my case, the support team replied in a timely and accurate manner to my support request. ---
