Updating Flipper Zero

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

  • DEVELOPMENT (Dev): The ongoing development is constantly building a new version of the firmware with every new commit, often multiple times per day. This Development version includes all the latest features, but it may be unstable, cause freezing or corruption of your data, or fail to function altogether.
  • RELEASE-CANDIDATE (RC): The version submitted for validation testing to the QA department. If any bugs are detected during the testing phase, the version is revised, and a new Release candidate is issued. Once the release candidate successfully passes all tests, it becomes the Release version.
  • RELEASE: The stable version of the firmware is extensively tested to ensure its reliability and is therefore recommended for general use.
<div class="warning flipper-callout">
    <div class="callout-header">Insert a microSD card before an update procedure</div>
    A microSD card must be inserted into your Flipper Zero to properly update the firmware. Flipper Zero databases are stored on the microSD card. To learn more, see <a href="https://docs.flipperzero.one/basics/sd-card" onclick="next.router.push('https://docs.flipperzero.one/basics/sd-card')"><u>MicroSD card setup</u>.
</div>


To update your Flipper Zero via the 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 the Flipper Mobile App usually takes 2-3 minutes.
