Hello,

Yes, it's normal that is shows the old version number 1.7.1, as it's 1.8 Pre-Release (was not yet named officially).

Your sim should be ok, as it's from August 2015. You can always reflash it, but it's not necessary (Only on DM8000HD you would gain a better boot rate, for all all other boxes only minor changes from v2 to v3).
