Try this:
--- Quote ---To downgrade do the following:
-Copy the .GEL file with the firmware version you want to a USB stick that you know is compatible with the DS1000Z series.
-With the scope powered OFF plug the USB stick into the scope.
-Power the scope on.
-When the splash screen with “Rigol” appears you should hear a quick beep which indicates it sees a USB device.
-As soon as you hear the beep press the “Help” button 3 times quickly.
-In a few seconds you should see the channel 1 LED blinking - this indicates it is flashing the firmware.
-Once done flashing the scope will boot as normal and tell you it found a firmware update with the same version it just flashed, you can press cancel.
-You can then verify the new detailed version info by pressing “menu menu force menu” quickly, then pressing “utility”,“system”, “system info”.
-I'd reboot at this point before using the scope just for good measure.

Here. Needs some homework.

Thanks Hammy, I'm going to test your method, and if I won't stick with this firmware, until they release another

You gave only an excerpt from the first post of an earlier thread on this forum. But the subsequent discussion in that thread indicates that this downgrading method only works with very early bootloaders: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/rigol-ds1000z-series-firmware-downgrade-*is*-possible-and-here-is-how/
So unless Adrian's scope is a very early version, I don't think this will work for him.
