The full flash update file will end in .FFU

Is it the same file type used by WDRT?

Yes. WDRT uses the FFU.

Where are you downloading the FW from other than WDRT itself?

I'm downloading 1030 firmware, the OBE version!

Ok. Ya that firmware will downgrade you to the base pcb swap firmware. Any reason you want that particular firmware version?

I loved the uniqueness of WP 8.0, photos hub, games hub, people hub...
Would love to live the experience again!!
I don't care about app support as I will use it as a secondary phone.

Ok. There is a slightly newer WP 8 firmware listed there. Just check for your region and you can get a more stable build than the 1030 version..

That's Lumia black I believe , should I install my country firmware? Or does any work?

If that's where you're located then probably advisable.
