The image file is incorrect - when trying to downgrade firmware on Belkin RT3200 #145

Similar to https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer/issues/46, tried to downgrade firmware on Belkin RT3200 from 1.1.01.272918 to 1.0.01.101415_prod.img using Firefox/Edge on Windows-11 and it still gives 'The image file is incorrect' error. Any other ways of downgrading?

So, for whatever reason, I was dreading to go to v1.2 (due to it using signed binaries as referred-to in https://github.com/dangowrt/owrt-ubi-installer). I posted about it on the OpenWrt forums: https://forum.openwrt.org/t/issues-with-downgrading-stock-firmware-on-belkin-rt3200-to-install-openwrt/160688 and the guidance from there was to just go to v1.2 and use the signed installer. I did that and everything worked as expected.

I upgraded to Ver. 1.2.00.360516 (Signed): https://s3.belkin.com/support/assets/belkin/firmware/FW_RT3200_1.2.00.360516_prod_signed.img and then used the signed installer and then everything worked just fine. Perhaps this can be referred to on the wiki/README?

Closing.
