@pkk, To me it is clearly a Magenta cartridges problem and it has nothing to do with the firmware whatsoever, your cartridge it not allowing sufficient ink to flow properly, am I right in that you’re using the top fill method ?
Take one of your magenta cartridges or any other cartridge for that matter and wash out all of the ink from it, (Clean sponge) then use the ghwellsjr wicking method on it for at least a couple of hours.

Next put some of pharmacist’s solution (5% Propylene Glycol, 20% Isopropyl alcohol and 75% distilled water) into the cartridge (10 ml) and then wick that out the same way and then fill the cartridge normally, now the next step is important.
When you remove the orange clip from the bottom of the cartridge after refilling, does it drip and if so how many drops before it stops, in case you’re wondering a healthy cartridge is suppose to drip a few drops before use.
Once you have established all of the about proceed and try a nozzle check and then another test print, this should show a 100% difference to what you had been getting before..
