I have a similar issue, my old flirc is on Firmware: v255.7.0 [0x020A07FF]. The GUI just says it's too new and won't update it.
On ubuntu, the flirc_util is still bundled with the GUI. So what I did was:
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/flirc_util
then you can run things like
/usr/bin/flirc_util version
That should tell you if it's working. Now to update it here is what I just had to do (what a pain in the balls).
on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get remove flirc
wget http://apt.flirc.tv/arch/x86_64/backup/flirc_1.2.6-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i flirc_1.2.6-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
FlircThen it updated the firmware to 2.6.0. Half way there!
sudo apt-get remove flirc
(gets rid of 1.2.6 version)sudo apt-get install flirc
(re-installs 3.1.0)Flirc
(now it prompts you to upgrade the firmware)I don't really enjoy having to scrape through archive.org to find the old repository to get an older version, kind of lame.

Ha! I thought I didn't have an account,but it turns out I had made one a long time ago to get sweet beta firmware downloads.
Glad it worked!
