Motu M4 rev1 firmware version: stuck on v1.0.1

I’m looking for some clarification on the MOTU M4 firmware versions. From this forum I learned that there was three hardware versions (v1, v2, and v3).

I own a v1 unit, and the latest firmware I can find being discussed on forums for it is 1.0.2.

I have firmware 1.0.1 on my unit. However, when I run the latest MOTU firmware flasher, it reports that my device is already up to date, even though I should be updated to 1.0.2 for my rev1.

What am I missing here?
 
I don't know anything about the MOTU but I wouldn't mess with it unless there is a way to recover if something goes wrong and you "brick it" by killing the existing firmware, and the USB stops working! :oops: (Sometimes the old firmware isn't overwritten and there's an internal hardware jumper to recover, but sometimes not.)

Of course there's no harm in trying it yourself if it's an important update and you're going to have to send it back for an update anyway,

What is weird is that everyone have 1.0.2 and I am I on 1.0.1, without an explanation from the installer besides "you have the latest firmware"
