Updating Flipper Zero

You can update your Flipper Zero with Flipper Mobile App via Bluetooth. Similar to qFlipper, Flipper Mobile App has three firmware update channels:

  • DEVELOPMENT (Dev) - the current development ongoing build. This version of firmware is compiled for every new commit, sometimes several times per day. Dev contains all the latest features, but be aware that it may be unstable, freeze, corrupt your data, or not work at all.
  • RELEASE-CANDIDATE (RC) - the release version that is submitted for validation testing to the QA department. If bugs are found during the testing phase, the version is amended and a new RC is released. If the release candidate successfully passes all the tests, it becomes the release version.
  • RELEASE - the final stable version of the firmware, which has gone through testing and is recommended for general use.

To update your Flipper Zero via Flipper Mobile App, do the following:

  1. In the Main Menu tab, tap Update Channel and select a firmware (Release is recommended).
  2. Tap the Update button.
  3. Tap the Update button to confirm the action.

The update process via Flipper Mobile App usually takes 2-3 minutes.

  2. Make sure your Flipper Zero is turned on.
  3. If your Flipper Zero doesn't respond, reboot it. → How to reboot Flipper Zero.
  4. Restart firmware update.
  5. If you still can't update your Flipper Zero with the Flipper Mobile App, full or broken internal storage might be the cause. To resolve this issue, follow the steps described on the Internal storage repair page.
