Firmware Flashing

[jaesond]

I've seen a lot of firmware flashing posts, but using the search has turned up nothing, so let me ask you guys here.

Is it OK if I just flash a new firmware? Does it matter if I'm using 1.0.1, 1.2.0, or 1.2.1? Should I possibly downgrade to the original first before upgrading, or is it safe to just perform the upgrade regardless of whatever version I'm using?

it is not necessary to downgrade, just flash to 1.4 (use cramfs!).

Yeah, you can upgrade, downgrade, sidegrade ... just have fresh batteries or an AC adaptor.
