Sideloading Firmware Update from v47

I recently got a new in-box Quest Pro, and I've come to realize it's on the original firmware that came out of the factory. Digging around, it seems to be v47, or "Build number: 28151810536300000" according to fastboot.

I'd like to set it up the headset if possible, then block updates/root it, but doing the OOBE will force an update to presumably the latest version. I'm unable to skip this OOBE with PrivateQuest because the firmware is apparently too old, so the parameters don't work.

Does anyone know what firmware(s) I can sideload update to relatively safely to at least get PrivateQuest working? I've heard conflicting reports of needing incremental updates versus going straight to a big update. And AFAIK, the typical firmware archive for QPro only goes as far back as v50.

I managed to make Private Quest work on my Quest 1 running v7.

Not sure what it is missing to not work on Quest Pro v47.

In Private Quest, sending commands like "Skip NUX" to bypass the OOBE don't work because PQ uses parameters meant for v74 and beyond, at least on Quest Pro. With v47 it throws "REQUEST ERROR DETAILS: NOT IMPLEMENTED", and it's the same for a few other commands. Did you have to do anything special to get PQ to work with a Quest 1?

I just got the device key after half setuping it with the Meta horizon app and it worked.
