The way it is written in the KB article implies that there is an issue with the downgrade process and not with the firmware itself (minus the part that performs the downgrade).
I’ve downgraded to 1.03.10 and the only thing I see is that the “Match Framerate” option is missing. So now I’m back on 1.06 firmware. But this is also a no go for me. Video_ts or video-iso stutter every 20-25 minutes for a couple seconds and there’s no way I can play the “Bird scene” stutterfree. I play al media from usb2 and usb3 external hd’s.
Well I’m back on 1.03.10. Did the following steps:
Reset to factory defaults (1.06)
Skip setup
Rolled back to 1.03.10
Skip setup
reset to factory defaults
setup
And guess what … I’ve got the “Match videoframe” option but more important I can play the birdscene (Planet Earth part 1) stutterfree with the option on or off. So I think this time the rollback went flawless.
Thank you for the Link location to 1.03.10… I just got the unit last week and was playing fine. I ignore the update until today and all when to “H.e.l.l”.
All better now that i’m back to original firmware.
Because it new revision of the SMP “-01” (P / N: WDBGXT0000NBK-01, P / N: WDBHG70000NBK-01) appeared after the release of firmware 1.3.10 and could not be tested on it.
I did the downgrade, it worked fine, 3 things I noticed are: it appears as 2.03.10 in the “New firmware detected” screen. When you do the downgrade, it will show 1.03.10 but still detect 2.03.10 on your usb key. I think the problem is the .ver file. Second, the accuweather app doesn’t let me chose Ottawa, ON as my city. Third, which is the worse of all, is that I can’t see any of my NTFS (Windows 7) shares. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks!

I did not do downgrade due to the fact that I have a model WDBGXT0000NBK-01.
Please report on what model of SMP you do a downgrading.
PS: Number of the model and revision is located at the bottom of the device.
