I need help. I received an archive with firmware EG18EAPAR01A13M4G_01.201.01.201 for the ATLGMEG18-EA modem. How can I downgrade the firmware from EG18EAPAR01A13M4G_01.300.01.300 to EG18EAPAR01A13M4G_01.201.01.201?
Are there downgrade instructions?
The good (Mikrotik) manual is your friend.
Upload the file to your ATL and use it like in the examples:
/interface/lte/firmware-upgrade lte1 firmware-file=your-file-you-uploaded-before upgrade=yes
No need to use files from unknown source. Here is the firmware officialy from Mikrotik:
The download starts, but an error appears.
What am I doing wrong?

This archive contains firmware EG18EAPAR01A13M4G_01.300.01.300 ((
The firmware is located at https://box.mikrotik.com/d/bfa49081454e4da1972d/?p=%2FEG18-EA&mode=list
only this one: EG18EAPAR01A13M4G_01.300.01.300
I need EG18EAPAR01A13M4G_01.201.01.201
That's why I got an error during the update.
Both with and without the archive

Greetings,
We are experiencing problems with some new MikroTik ATL LTE18 Kit devices. Due to Quectel Geofencing we are not able to use local SIM cards. Could you please provide us with software method for G18-EA Regional lock bypass as we do not have experienced enough engineers on site to perform hardware downgrade of Quectel M.2 modems.
G18-EA Regional lock bypass required for Russian region, for particular device:
