Hello,

As with others, I similarly have an older ASUS SBW-06D2X-U and am looking for direction to proceed. From what I can gather, this should be viable, though the primary issue is finding the correct firmware file to apply with the SDF.bin. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Worked perfectly. Would've replied to PM, but can't do so yet. Will provide donation once I've got monetary matters sorted out.
