Hi all,
I have bought in Amazon (Europe) a MMDVM hotspot running on a Raspy Zero W called "Vbestlife MMDVM Hotspot". The hotspot come already configured and I only need to create WIFI access and introduce my personal data.
I updated pi-star to the last verion 3.4.17 and everything OK.
Problems started when I tried to upgrade firmware.
In the dashboard apperaed ZUMSpot hat ver. 1.3.7 and I tried to go to lastest one using
sudo pistar-zumspotflash rpi
Process finised OK and after restarting new version 1.47 aperars on the Dashboard but with no TX and RX.
I repeated the upgrade process many times wihout positive results.
I don't know if its possible to downgrade firmware to previous version 1.37.
Anyway I made a trial upgrading firmare with command
sudo pistar-mmdvmhshatflash hs_hat
Process also finished OK and in the dashboard nnow I have HS_Hat v.1.4.17 version working OK.
My questions are:
- Is possible to install two different firmare in the same board (ZUMSpot and HS_hat)?
- IS possible to downgrade to previous verision ZumSpot v.1.3.7 that came initially intalled?
Thanks for you support.

Many Thanks for your answer and technical explanation.
You are right, better to leave as it is while it's working OK.
