getting the same error .it is supposedly an error with data type not being supported but im going to guess that ur using 3.41 ofw when trying this. For me no ofw will read past 60% 1.11/3.15/3.50/3.55/3.41 the only fws that will read from this point on are any cfws only. rebug 3.41.2/rebug 3.55.1/kmeaw 3.55/etc but once past this point it will either pop up the same version error no need to install or higher firmware installed no need to update.

so downgrading using just this method is not viable as of now will have to w8 or u can try the 3.55 downgrader released before
