No, you just need to ensure the firmware versions match between the internal XJT and the receiver.

2.3.0 is the version of OpenTx firmware version.
The receiver and transmitters have another piece of firmware for RF.
Kilrah was referring to the RF firmware.
This RF firmware can be downloaded from the Frsky-rc.com web site.

However, before doing that you need to say how you are trying to change XJT.
Are you doing it on the transmitter or in Companion?
If you transmitter only says XJT are you sure you are not looking at the external module selection?
You should be using the internal module.
Have you successfully bound any other receivers to your transmitter?
Where are you located? (i.e., Do you need EU or FCC products?)

The Qx7 had d8 and d16 when i got it from Banggood and i got it to bind o my tinyhawk freestyle 2. Then i got the Nazgul5
and i was reading some forums and it said to update the firmware. I am a total NOOB with all this stuff. So i went ahead and updated it.
Now ive just messed everything up. Ive downloaded so many firmwares, plus i dont even know if im doing it right.
Its been 2 weeks off and on trying to figure this out. Im pretty close to giving up.

Not really since retailers will have stock of devices with either v1 or v2 RF firmware.

Choose one and reflash both the module and all receivers to it.

No, you put the file on the card, go to the sd browser on the radio, select it and use flash internal module.

- I never said to go in bootloader
- XJT with D16 next to it is what you want, there was never anything wrong with that...
