OK, in that case, patch the original SDM3055X-E_2.01.01.12.ADS with the following 16 bytes.
Then it's ready to flash in a SDM3045X. As always, do it at your own risk.

Since Tautech assured me that there were ways to undo this (in the case of bricking my unit), I tried it for me and for you folks: it works without problems. My SDM3045x became a SDM3055x.
Beside the extra digit and different ranges (now 200mV / 2V etc. instead of 600mV / 6V etc.) I did not recognize any other differences at the first glance.
Though my SDM3045x is silent, as it comes without a fan. I am wondering if I should add one now, as the SDM3055 does have one afaik.

SDM3055X-E is the model it should be now, NOT SDM3055 !
Re the fan, at this time we do not know if the China only X-E model sports a fan. Only measurement stability checks can indicate if it might need one.

To those that might also be inspired to flash their 3045X...
Do at your own risk....
3045X don't have a precision divider and instead use SMD components to substitute the Caddock divider used in 3055 and 3065X therefore a flashed 3045X can never be a 3055 but instead the China only model SDM3055X-E.
Pics of the internal differences can be found linked in the POI list in the opening post here:

Kleinstein:
As there are some HW differences, one should check the lower ranges, if they actually work correctly. A point that may fail could be the input impedance at around 2 V. A possible way to look at this would be to watch a low leakage 10 nF or so capacitor charge or discharge from some +-2 V. The input current will show as drift rate, that can be measured with the meter itself.

OK here are pictures. Keep in mind, I have not tested the unit yet, just made the conversion and looked through the menus.
