# Firmware Releases

{% hint style="info" %}
**Attempting to reload firmware after upgrading to 1.2.x?**

Releases prior to 1.2.0 were encrypted with an outer key A with an inner encryption key A.\
Starting with release 1.2.0, releases are encrypted with an outer key of encryption key A, but, has a new inner encryption key B.

If you attempt to re-upload the 1.2.x firmware it will fail to decrypt as it was signed and encrypted with key A.

You must load the other 1.2.x → 1.2.x releases of your choosing in the right two tabs as those releases were signed/encrypted with key B.
