2. Set the module type to `Sonoff Bridge (25)`
3. This step will be different depending on your `Sonoff RF Bridge 433` hardware version. You will have to connect two wires:
1. For `R1`: Connect `GPIO4 to C2Ck` and `GPIO5 to C2D`.
2. For `R2`: Connect `GPIO4 to C2D` and `GPIO5 to C2Ck`.
2. For `R2`: Connect `GPIO4 to C2D` and `GPIO5 to C2Ck`.
(:warning: The text on the R2 PCB silkscreen is switched. Therefore this is the same wiring as on the R1)
4. Switch the ON/OFF switch on the board to 'OFF' to switch off the RF.
5. Power up the bridge via the 3.3V & GND pins. (See below if you need to power the device through the USB power port)
6. Go to the Web UI **Firmware Upgrade** > **Upgrade by File Upload** (introduced in v6.0.0a)
7. Download the entire contents of the [Tasmota GitHub project](https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/tree/master/) project via the green `Clone or Download` button to ensure that the firmware hex files are downloaded properly. Navigate to the folder on your computer where you saved the GitHub download. The firmware files will located in the `./tools/fw_efm8bb1/` folder. Select the newest available hex file. Otherwise you may get `error "Magic byte is not 0xE9"`.
7. Download the Portisch Firmware:
1. Use wget/curl or PowerShell to download the raw file directly from that folder:\
https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/tree/master/tools/fw_efm8bb1
```
PowerShell example (⚠️ Change file name to the latest available version!):
wget https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/raw/master/tools/fw_efm8bb1/RF-Bridge-EFM8BB1-XXXXXXXX.hex -OutFile .\RF-Bridge-EFM8BB1-XXXXXXXX.hex
```
2. As an alternative download the entire contents of the [Tasmota GitHub project](https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/tree/master/) project via the green `Clone or Download` button to ensure that the firmware hex files are downloaded properly. Downloading them from the GitHub web site does **not** work since it will download the GitHub preview/content of the file.
Navigate to the folder on your computer where you saved the GitHub/hex file download. The firmware files are located in the `./tools/fw_efm8bb1/` folder. Select the newest available hex file. Otherwise you may get `error "Magic byte is not 0xE9"`.
8. Hit **Start Upgrade**. The flashing should complete within 60 seconds. Device will restart after upgrade completes.
9. Disconnect wiring and put the ON/OFF switch on the board back to 'ON' to enable the RF again.
