Correct.  The XO-1.5 firmware (q3xxx) won't pass the checksum test on an 
XO-1 and indeed would brick your system if you were to somehow bypass that.

XO-1 uses jffs2 so unless the file system is changed to be ext[234] the 
firmware fix is not necessary.

I thought q3 OFW was meant only for XO-1.5 (and would brick XO-1).

Is it true that XO-1 users should __not__ apply q3a.. (and might not 
even need q3a06) ?

That bug is fixed in q3a06, which I released yesterday.
