Disagree, because:
$ md5sum v_188_hwos_firmware.hex
1df606e0cbca68c691e8570334238d72  v_188_hwos_firmware.hex

which is the same as on the download-page:

[1.88]
MD5: 1df606e0cbca68c691e8570334238d72

Ok, I redid the steps as you suggested, with going straight for the
upgrade, but then it just stopped doing anything, the progress bar
remained at 0%, no action on the dc itself, until the dc did a timeout,
and I got in the terminal the following:
