sash_world , your player currently uses a v9.0.50 firmware. There are No firmware extraction tools available as yet. So you cannot extract your firmware. Without an extracted firmware, it is very risky to download someone else's themed firmware to flash into your player.

These players have firmwares which are hardware specific. However, the manufacturers do not practice proper versions control, so the version numbers do not really make any sense. Just tells you which group of firmware your player belongs to.

So no, it is never recommended to upgrade any firmware. Also, you can't safely theme your player until the extraction tools support your version.
