Nope, try again.

And before you even try anything, you would need an APPLE firmware anyway.

RPC1(dot)org is up for me in the U.S.

How odd that it's not available for you in your location.

Looking around the database, I do not see firmware for the OEM drive (GWA-4165B), but there is some form of firmware for the retail equivalent GSA-4165B.

On The Dangerous Bros. site (hosted by RPC1(dot)org), there is a "beta" version of RPC1 firmware for the GSA-4165B. In order to crossflash the drive and make use of that firmware, you might have to use a Windows machine to do the flashing.

Then your provider has a DNS problem.

You can crossflash your drive, but you will lose all Apple features with that.
