Hi guys
Firstly, let me state that I have been reading numerous thread but I just need confirmation / correction here to make sure I have understood everything.
1) I have a 'Lonrisun' Solo2 Clone with Blackhole 2.0.7 working fully.
2) But I do not know if this is a 'v1, v2, v3' clone, how would I identify that?
3) If I want to upgrade to the latest clone safe Blackhole image, the latest one I can upgrade to is 'Blackhole 2.0.9.1' right? (link below)

4) [There is a Clone safe image for Blackhole 2.1.0 however this is for the 'Sim2 Sunray Solo2 from what I understand. As my Solo2 is 'Lonrisun' I cannot upgrade to this image- Is that correct?]
5) Before I upgrade to the latest clone safe blackhole image 2.0.9.1 do I need to do the 'FPGA' upgrade? (link below)

6) I have ready AJTs post (link below) who mentions that you need to load the latest firmware, and if box displays 'H.W error' then perform 'FPGA upgrade (listed on point 5 above). However, if I load the latest image without performing 'FPGA' upgrade wont this load the latest drivers and brick the box?

7) Finally going forwards, which clone is it advisable to buy if I was to buy others for a friend. E.g. 'Lonrisun' Solo2 Clone or 'Sunray' Solo2 Clone. Which one has the best support and which one is the least 'brickable'? (Not sure if either have a JTAG port for recovery?)
Really appreciate the help, there are so many threads and I do not want to brick the box and end up sending back to China for the 'chip' to re re soldered but would like to stay on the most current image that I can.
