Firmwareupdate for TP-PL8030P

Hello,
I'd like to ask for a firmware update for the TP-PL8030P adapters which is based on the latest or a more recent *.nvm file.
Background:
As far as I know, all 1200 or 1300 Mbit/s powerline adapter are using the same chipset from Qualcomn (QCA7500).
TP-Link is also selling the TP-PL8010P adapters which are similar to the 8030 adapters except they lack two lan ports.
The lastest firmware for the 8030 adapters is from 28/03/16 while the lastet firmware for the 8010 adapters is from 18/08/16 (Day / Month / Year).
The firmware file of a QCA7500 adapter consists of two files.
The first file is the *.nvm file which is the firmware for the chipset provided by Qualcomn.
The second file is a *.pib file (parameter information block) which stores parameter information (MAC-address, tone-map (which frequencies should be used with which power), ...) and is adjusted by the producer of the adapter (TP-Link).
The new firmware of the 8010 adapter has the following nvm file: MAC-7500-v2.2.2-00-X-CS.nvm .
The latest firmware of the 8030 adapter has only the following nvm file: MAC-7500-v2.0.0-05-X-CS.nvm .
As you can see there is quite a big version jump from one chipset firmware to the other.
With a new firmware I hope to get improved performance and stability, therefore I'd like to have a new firmware for the 8030 adapter which is based on at least the MAC-7500-v2.2.2-00-X-CS.nvm .
Devolo also sells 1200 Mbit/s adapters on the German market and they claim that an firmware update (with NVM 2.2.x ...) boosts performance by 20% (though I do not know if that's true or whether they have adjusted anything else like the tone map).
PS: I tried to crossflash firmware : Using the firmware from the 8010 adapters or a combination of the new nvm with the pib from the 8030 adapter but I could not flash the firmware.

Do you guys / gals prefer homeplugs to Wifi? Does 5ghz AC wifi provide more stability and throughput than AV2 MIMO homeplugs? How does range effect performance?

Usually homeplugs wins at range/bandwidth and stability. Prefer AC devices when using it at the same room near the device. When using net in the next room, powerline wins. Wi-fi also have common use and may interfere with others more.

You can use MVM file with only your US version PIB file. Dont use EU or UK version PIB. PIB are related to allowed frequencies of countries

I already flashed my US 8010P with the EU PIB. What PIB should I use as the latest one of the website is very old (
2015-03-06)?

Too late, I was really tired of the constant dropouts of my two PL8010Ps and since I didn´t have a US PIB version accepted by the upgrade program, I decided to use the one posted here. Everything is working perfectly, no more dropouts. By the way, I have not upgraded the other two PL8030P that I also have connected to my LAN because it seems the 8010's were the ones with the dropout problem, now all the PLs are doing a great job even with different firmwares. I live in Colombia, South America and don´t know if the frequencies are different. Thanks for your answer!
