Converting the firmware
Octopus Box Software uses its own type of files (.oct). You may use ready files from
the Support zone or convert official LG flash files to the “.oct” type using the built-in
converter. To convert the firmware from the original format to “.oct”, click “Firmware
converter”

Which files can I convert to .oct ! Only .bin ??? Or .m0t/bif too ???
