MR1100 - Unable to update firmware

Hi Guys,
I have a MR1100 MiFi and if i use the automated search for firmware it says I have the up to date firmware.
But if I search on the webite it says there is a more up to date version.
But if I try to manually update the FW it says its not suitable for my device.
So currently the FW is - NTG9X50C_12.04.02.00
The PRI is - 03.03

 

Not sure what I am doing wrong or if it is indeed the most up to date version?
PS on a side note - could someone tell me what the most up to date charger for this device in UK is?

Many Thanks in advance

    There exist at least half a dozen different MR1100 models. Firmware is not exchangeable, band plan and modulation versions  is preconfigured and depends on the carrier and/or market requirements.

      Thanks for your reply.
      Do you know where I can find out the version I have?

      After reading some of the posts here, I would NOT recommend updating the firmware.  One guy posts that his unit suddenly became a battery hog and battery life went down considerably.  Whats that old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it."   LOL  

      Good luck ...
