Yup, system v207 requires a newer bootloader than v2

You can download the bootloader binary and apply it via particle flash --serial bootloader-0.7.0-photon.bin

Thanks for the help. I was able to flash.

Should I expect to have to manually upload a new bootloader on new Photon?

Normally a OTA update to a new firmware that requires a Device OS update would also update the bootloader, but you’d need to be patient since this will reboot the device several times to update each module one-after-the-other. If you interrupt that process in any way, you might end up with an incomplete update. Most of the times that will just result in a retry by Safe Mode Healer, but if you have all Device OS parts updated and only interrupt the bootloader update, you won’t know and the device wouldn’t know to retry since only Device OS and application version are checked for Safe Mode Healer.
