## Firmware Downgrade
## Firmware Downgrade v4.2
To be able to downgrade the firmware you need to modify DNS names, e.g. you may install dnsmasq on your local network and point to that DNS server from your DHCP server. To redirect the firmware up-/downgrade process to your own webserver, you can create a simple file in the /etc/dnsmasq.d directory with the following content (10.1.1.22 is the IP address of my webserver located on my MacMini)
The following records are required on the DNS server:
The downgrade needs to be adjusted for newer versions, e.g. v4.6.415145, release date 20220427", see section Firmware Downgrade from v4.6 below.
The following records are required on the DNS server:
```
cat /etc/dnsmasq.d/linkplay.conf
address=/silenceota.linkplay.com/10.1.1.22
address=/ota.rakoit.com/10.1.1.22
```
Restart dnsmasq after any changes:
```
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
```
You may modify the configuration file on your webserver to use different folders for different FQDNs. Be sure to verify any URLs from a web browser or curl. On your PC you may manually point to a public DNS server to be able to download XML files and images from the Internet.
> **Note:**
> The modification of the two FQDNs will prevent any further updates!
A firmware downgrade has been tested from v4.6 to v4.2.8026 (release date 20200220). Here it is documented from v4.2.8826 to v4.2.8026. To get information about the product ID (project), the current version and release date you can use the "getStatusEx" command. The following output is "enhanced" / beautified with the tool "jq" (JSON processor):

## Firmware Downgrade v4.6
In newer versions it does not work to modifiy your DNS server to add a spoofed (local) IP address like 10.1.1.22 for silenceota.linkplay.com anymore. I'm not sure if that's due to the fact that this is a local IP address or spoofing is not allowed for silenceota.linkplay.com anymore. The following procedure has been tested with v4.6.415145, release date 2022/04/27.
To be able to downgrade the firmware and prevent an automatic upgrade afterwards you need to modify DNS names, e.g. you may install dnsmasq on your local network and point to that DNS server from your DHCP server. To redirect the firmware up-/downgrade process to your own webserver, you can create a simple file in the /etc/dnsmasq.d directory with the following content (10.1.1.22 is the IP address of my webserver located on my MacMini)
I've used the FQDN **_ota.tatooine.org_** (that I do not have registered) to be independent of a specific IP address. The downgrade has been tested with plain IP addresses as well (in all config files and SetUpdateServer command), so you may not need to run your own dnsmasq server, but you need to block Internet requests from the Linkplay devices to prevent automatic upgrades afterwards.
The following records were created on the DNS server:
```
cat /etc/dnsmasq.d/linkplay.conf
address=/silenceota.linkplay.com/10.1.1.22
address=/ota.rakoit.com/10.1.1.22
address=/api.linkplay.com/10.1.1.22
address=/ota.tatooine.org/10.1.1.22
```
Restart dnsmasq after any changes:
```
/etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart
```
You may modify the configuration file on your webserver to use different folders for different FQDNs. Be sure to verify any URLs from a web browser or curl. On your PC you may manually point to a public DNS server to be able to download XML files and images from the Internet.
> **Note:**
> Beside of your own DNS server (typically set by DHCP), the Linkplay devices also send DNS requests to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (the two Google DNS servers). The device also sends requests to firehose.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com, api.linkplay.com
The modification of the two FQDNs will prevent any further updates!
Here it is documented from v4.2.8826 to v4.2.8026. To get information about the product ID (project), the current version and release date you can use the "getStatusEx" command. The following output is "enhanced" / beautified with the tool "jq" (JSON processor):

At first you have to download the following XML files, install them in the appropriate directory on your webserver (you may keep the path and create the directories as required).
> **Important:**
> There is no link to older version available. The **_products.xml_** file only contains URLs for the latest version, so you need to know (or guess) the URL for the specific **_product.xml_** file. The following URL is working for the Up2Stream Amp v2 and partially also for the Up2Stream Pro v3 (without MCU). I've added the URL for the **_products.xml_** file to the Wayback archive (https://web.archive.org) on Dec 31th 2023, so it does not work for older versions.
The **_products.xml_** file that has been archived on 20231231 can be retrieved here:
```
curl https://web.archive.org/web/20231231141235/http://silenceota.linkplay.com/wifi_audio_image/products.xml
```
At first you can download the actual **_products.xml_** file, remove everything except your products, adjust the URLs (optionally) and install it on your web server:
```
curl -O http://silenceota.linkplay.com/wifi_audio_image/products.xml
```
Next you download the specific **_product.xml_** file. The following URL is for the RP0011_WB60_S product ID, but except for the MCU all images look to be the same as for product ID RP0011_WB60, UP2STREAM_PRO_V3, and others. I'm not sure, but all devices with the Linkplay A31 module might use the same firmware. You may download and compare the RP0011_WB60_S product below with your device (including MD5 checksums) and replace MCU part show below with the one from your device. It looks that older versions of the **_product.xml_** files and images are still available for download - you just need to know (or guess) the URLs.
> **Important:**
> I do not take responsibilities for results or consequences. You might damage your device! Do not try to downgrade your device if you are unsure!
The following URL is for product ID RP0011_WB60_S:
