Hi all, i have this same model, looking to flash it to get Police Squad ripped so i can watch via JellyFin. Noticed that there was a firmware patch available for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ah nevermind, opened the flash tool to read the current firmware and says its not MT1959 platform and cant be flashed. Yeah firmware is post 2022.... booger as well
