A friend has a DG4162 that's sw vn 00.01.04, he contacted Rigol who've sent him firmware vn 00.01.09.00.01 along with a new vn 00.06 bootloader which he's been told to apply before the firware. He contacted me because the instructions from Rigol on how to apply the update don't seem to work. Any ideas?
I wonder why there's a new bootloader? It's possible that they are trying to close down the loopholes. I'm thinking that he should try the firmware update without the bootloader first.

Most likely the 1.09 firmware can only be loaded with that new boot loader. The new boot loader prevents you then from loading an older version of the firmware.
Try to get firmware 1.08. This can be loaded without to upgrade the boot loader.
BTW, the patch that is available makes a 200MHz generator. Since your friend's model is already a 160MHz generator loading 1.09 firmware is only a small improvement. It's a different story if you own a 60 or 100MHz model.
I forgot to mention that you need a small size USB stick, 1 or 2 Gbyte. Larger sizes give errors

What bugs does the 1.09.00.01 firmware fix?
