So I needed some help. I got a new trezor1 directly from satoshi labs and during the initialization process it only updated to firmware 1.6.3 and afterward's I got a pop up on the web wallet page saying the trezor is not up to date offering the update to 1.9.3

So my question here was that isn't the initial installation suppose to install the latest firmware directly or is this two step installation of the  firmware normal.

The next question I had was with regard to the bootloader. On the device after the first and  second initilization(after I wiped it once)  when entering bootloader mode it showed up as bootloader 1.5.1 or 2 along with the serial number.

However when I connected the device again after a few hours it now shows up as bootloader 1.8 and no longer shows a serial number. This is the case even after I wipe the device form the bootloader mode.

So I was wondering if  the bootloader does not get reset  back to the factory setting once updated to 1.8 even after you do a device wipe and if its just the firmware that's wiped.

Also now since the bootloader is now permanently set at 1.8 even after after  wiping the device the firmware now updates to 1.9.3 directly and  skips the 2 step process. Is this normal.

Thanks for the help and sorry for the long post.
