 I would like to know if the .dat file inside the DFU packet is always the same or it can be different. 
 Is it Possible to fix inside the code ?

&lt;p&gt;the .dat file inside the DFU .zip file contains the &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.3.0/lib_bootloader_dfu_validation.html?cp=5_1_3_5_1_1_0#lib_bootloader_dfu_init"&gt;init packet&lt;/a&gt;. You can also refer to &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ug_nrfutil/UG/nrfutil/nrfutil_customizing.html?cp=6_5_8"&gt;Customizing the init packet&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the nrfutil documentation. As you can see from the &lt;a href="https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.sdk5.v15.3.0/lib_bootloader_dfu_validation.html?cp=5_1_3_5_1_1_0#lib_bootloader_dfu_init"&gt;documentation&lt;/a&gt;, the init packet will depend on the image you are updating, since it contains information like firmware version, hash of the image, signature, SoftDevice dependencies, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
