How to update the Meshtastic Radio firmware (Heltec, RAK, T-Beam)

Use the web flasher at flasher.meshtastic.org with the radio connected by USB.
Or update over Bluetooth from the mobile app on supported boards.
Match the firmware to your exact board variant; the flasher detects most automatically.

Always download firmware from the manufacturer or project itself. Firmwarely links out; it never hosts firmware.

What changed

Warning This initial cut of 2.8.0 was revoked due to issues encountered with LR1110 initialization. This became apparent on T1000-E devices after a fresh flash. Please download https://github.com/meshtastic/firmware/releases/tag/v2.8.0.47db0e3 instead.
