Safe to downgrade? DS-C2D2332-I on 5.2.0

[bubba123]

Just got these in the mail. They are white boxed US version with date code 03/2015 with version 5.2.0_140721 on them. Would these be candidates for downgrades to 5.1.6? I'm guessing yes since the ones I currently have have the same version on the box, yet the date code was 11/2014.

Thanks,
Brian

No, is the simple answer they should have 5.2.8 stickers on them if thats the case, you have the badly hacked firmware on them.

The latest US version is 5.2.3 these can be downgrade to 5.1.6

The easy way to see if they are chinese or us, is to check the serial numbers if there is a CH in the middle it's Chinese if not your lucky.

Check to see how stable they are if they reboot after 5-10mins the tftp the correct 5.2.5 firmware on them and do the mtd hack.

These are white hincision boxes with no CH. The dates and firmware info is from the stickers, not from logging in.
