Hi

Trimble, even on supported products, is pretty firm about a service contract 
being in place for updates.
The only exception seems to be security related patches. There have been a lot 
of examples of this over the years ….AFIK, there isn’t even a “public” firmware 
loader for the TBolt. 

Indeed, you might get lucky.
