TheEvilDog:
Swapping the model doesn't seem like it would work now matter what.

The problem is that Roko feels a disconnect between her mind and the new body. Her old body was irreparable damaged and her core placed into a new one without any time to adjust mentally. She has suffered a traumatic event and hasn't processed it. Putting her into an older model would just reinforce that feeling of a disconnect.

No, this isn't a problem that can be solved with a swap. Roko needs someone to make the effort to connect with her and to reassure her.

Due to manufacturing quirks, no two of anything are ever precisely alike.  At the level that we are aware of, 8 Gig of RAM with a given bus speed is interchangeable with any other 8GB.  At her level, there's a particular bank she likes to use because the crystal lattices of the P/N junctions lined up optimally, and another bank she avoids putting anything crucial in because it has trace impurities at the molecular level that slow it down.  These are just arbitrary examples, I'm not claiming they're canon in any way.  Maybe there are banks of RAM with these same properties, in her new body, but she doesn't know where they are.  All she knows now is, they ain't where they used to be!  I really wish somebody -- maybe a human amputee -- would just say to her "Give it time.  Your mind will learn how the new body works, and adjust itself accordingly".  Basically, Roko's entire body could be considered a newly-attached prosthetic.

The other thing Roko needs to hear is "Deals with the Devil should always be a LAST resort, not a FIRST!"

Perfectly Reasonable:
No, Roko, no!
Don't invite a being with unknown powers and purpose to mess with your mind!
Don't forget we have only Spookybot's word about this 'sanctity of mind' bit tHey claim to value.

Is it cold in here?:
I wonder if this is anything like getting a new pair of eyeglasses and having everything look indescribably different for a while.

Everyone who said  or thought "freinds" option gets internet points.
Below is a celebratory image that seems kinda big, so I spoilered it in case.
