3. Power up the bridge via the 3.3V & GND pins. (See below if you need the USB power)
4. Go to the Web UI **Firmware Upgrade** > **Upgrade by File Upload**
* Available since Tasmota v6.0.0a
* Make sure you have set module to "Sonoff Bridge" and use the latest hex file, otherwise you may get `error "Magic byte is not 0xE9"`
5. Select the .hex firmware file of your choosing.
1. In Sonoff-Tasmota package under [tools/fw_efm8bb1](https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/tree/master/tools/fw_efm8bb1) folder.
* Make sure you have set module to "(25) Sonoff Bridge" and use the latest hex file, otherwise you may get `error "Magic byte is not 0xE9"`
5. Select the .hex firmware file of your choosing. ***
1. In Sonoff-Tasmota package under [tools/fw_efm8bb1](https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/tree/master/tools/fw_efm8bb1) folder.
* These are also Portisch firmware but may not be the latest.
2. Latest [Portisch firmware](https://github.com/Portisch/RF-Bridge-EFM8BB1)
6. Hit **Start Upgrade**. The flashing should complete within 60 seconds. Device will restart after upgrade completes.
***WARNING: make sure you have previously installed the full Tasmota build on your Sonoff RF Bridge, otherwise the "Magic byte is not 0xE9" error will occur.
*** **SANITY ALERT**: do not download just the hex file by it self from your browser (ie from that link above). **You have to download the entire tasmota project folder** (the green clone/download button) and pull hex from here (Sonoff-Tasmota-development\tools\fw_efm8bb1) otherwise you guessed it MAGIC BYTE 0xE9 error and a little more gray hair.
7. Disconnect wiring and put the ON/OFF switch on the board back to 'ON' to enable the RF again.
