The version available for download always seems to lag the one available via the TV.  I don't know of a way to force an update.  I imagine that if it's possible Roku wouldn't want it to become public, so you may just have to wait for the available version to catch up.  I'd be a little surprised if it lets you install firmware for a different model, but I can see how it's worth a try.
