Night Hawk M1 MR1100 Telstra firmware version stuck at 12.06.02

Question

Hello,I have the Telstra Model, and it's stuck at 12.06.02 version (no updates yet). I check the community and it seams all other models are either upgraded to 12.06.07 or 12.06.08 which solves the problematic charging algorithm.I have a third party charger which charges the device a little faster but when it reaches 45 degress Celsius, the device stops charging for a long time and go to battery heat mode. It happens too frequently and it takes so long to charge the device that it's frustrating. I checked and seems the problem is solved in newer firmwares, but for some reason telstra model didn't get the update.Can I ask for the update?&nbsp;Thank you,Sasan Moshirabadi.

&nbsp;&nbsp;The Telstra firmware has an issue with the battery heat message going off too early , which is apparently solved in 12.06.11 (EUS) etc.Will we get this update soon ?&nbsp;These devices have been extremely frustrating to deal with, given the issues experienced.&nbsp;Why, Oh Why does Telstra feel the need to custom skin the FW of mobiles, routers, and these too...I realise it may make support easier, but with the absolute lack of competent call centre support anyway, why not leave the FW stock &amp; refer problems back to the manufacturer where someone may be able to help ?&nbsp;&nbsp;P.S. sasan89, I have an (old) Telstra FW. I tried flash to EUS version, it doesnt allow you to save changes to Wifi SSID etc. So I changed it back. Sing ot if you need the old FW (it will then auto update to 12.xxxxx

Telstra upgrade is coming soon. The latest upgrade was postponed due to data usage issue on Telstra network. We are helping to address the data usage issue and will have an official release out soon.

It depends on how you flash the other FW. Please let me know what FW and how you flash it.

I used this method:&nbsp;https://community.netgear.com/t5/Mobile-Routers-Hotspots-Modems/MR1100-Firmware-Update/m-p/1813650And it worked. But I just saw you removed all firmware files of telstra, so I can't get back on that channel. please post a link of the latest firmware or one of older ones so I can flash back.Thank you.
