Nice work.
Tip: If your system is working it's best to leave it alone. NG will auto-push any that contain critical updates.
Stay safe.
Next time, try a factory reset the next time you update FW and run into problems. Its a good trouble shooting step. My system is solid on v2.5.1.8 as is others.
You can try Voxels FW as well:
Enjoy.
