It could perhaps even be adaptive in that it could work either with and without a CRC32 checksum in the data file? In that case it could write a CRC32, but allow for reading files either with or without a CRC32.

There are a number of user ROMs that lack a valid checksum in the place reserved for one. Angel notes that fact in his own work. Who knows for certain of other non-HP modules. It would be quite a pain for your user if you were to tag the transfer of such a module as faulty.
