I tried updating my DM42 by copying the latest BIN file onto the mounted volume root.

But then after a while I realized that only works for version 3.7 onwards.

How do I get my 3.0 updated to enable the newer method?

The SwissMicro website annoyingly doesn't mention any method for versions prior to 3.7, at least not where I was able to find it.

(I'm hoping the flash update will help with the keys, I really dislike using the DM42 because of the stiff keys but force myself to use it in the hopes of eventually making them softer through wear and tear LOL)

Thanks!

Keep reading past that method. The manual also tells how to use bootloader mode which is what you have to do to upgrade the older firmware. The section you need is called FW Update Using dm_tool or FW Update Using dfu-util
