# TLDR
Giving the fact that too much people still having issue reading this guide, please carefully read this chapter so you'll know basic concept of how to update.
**Please note that this chapter is just for making the concept clear, you still need to read all the content below for detailed guide!**
The basic updating procedure can be simply done by following two steps:
1. Update your sdcard content. This need you copy files around 1 GB, which is recommend to pull out your sdcard and use a sdcard reader on computer to copy files.
2. Update firmware + external apps. This can be done by following ways (pick one of them):
* On a computer, enter HackRF mode, flash with a usb cable, then copy and paste external apps into sdcard.
* Use hackrf.app website.
* Copy firmware all in one tar package into sdcard, and offline update with Flash Utilty app in portapack.
# Side notes
If you are UNDER v2.0.0 or nightly n_240114, you can only update with hackrf mode with normal procedure (instead of update with hackrf serial)
Above v2.0.0 or nightly n_240114, you are free to update whatever you want, however, online serial update is still recommend.
In theory, it is impossible to brick the device, since you can always try the DFU recovery procedure. However, the updating might become fiddly in certain conditions.
