This file contains Unicode characters that might be confused with other characters. If you think that this is intentional, you can safely ignore this warning. Use the Escape button to reveal them.

Using firmware file from github release page and the classic hackrf_spiflash tool

Note

⚠️ This guide works for bare HackRF instead of HackRF with a PortaPack.

Get the latest firmware from the page

Windows

Connect the device via USB.
Double click mayhem_flasher.bat and follow the instructions.
Reboot the device.

Linux

Connect the device via USB
Upload the firmware with hackrf_spiflash -w new_firmware_file.bin (eg. portapack-h1_h2-mayhem.bin for mayhem firmware or hackrf_one_usb.bin for stock HackRF firmware)
Reboot the device

Note

To Ubuntu and Mint user: Ubuntu based distro never maintains their repo for HackRF host (cli client) package. You’ll face a lot of weird problems if your HackRF is R9. To resolve these, please compile the HackRF package yourself, or use another distro.

MacOS

If necessary, install the HackRF tools: brew install hackrf
Connect the device via USB
Upload the firmware with hackrf_spiflash -w new_firmware_file.bin
Reboot the device
