# The Flash Utility
* Step 1: Compile or download the image. For example the latest nightly build from https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/releases. If you download and unzip the latest mayhem_v#.##_COPY_TO_SDCARD.zip contents to your SD card, the latest firmware image will be found in the FIRMWARE folder (this method also updates the external app files in the APPS folder).
* Step 2: If you download only the file portapack-h1_h2-mayhem.bin, place it in the FIRMWARE folder of your SD card. (The SD card may be physically plugged into your computer, or left installed in the PortaPack using the "SD over USB" app and connected with a USB cable.)
* Step 3: Start the Flash Utility and select the new .bin file.
* **Step 1:** Compile or download the image. For example the latest nightly build from https://github.com/eried/portapack-mayhem/releases. If you download and unzip the latest mayhem_v#.#.#_COPY_TO_SDCARD.zip contents to your SD card, the latest firmware image will be found in the FIRMWARE folder (this method also updates the external app files in the APPS folder as well as data files needed for other apps).
* **Step 2:** If you download only the file mayhem_v#.#.#_FIRMWARE.zip, extract the portapack-h1_h2-mayhem.bin file and place it in the FIRMWARE folder of your SD card. (The SD card may be physically plugged into your computer, or left installed in the PortaPack using the "SD over USB" app and connected with a USB cable.) See note below regarding external apps.
* **Step 3:** Start the Flash Utility and select the new .bin file.
**NOTE:** If original firmware running on your portapack is version 1.9.2 or later, it has a Flash Utility that supports ppfw.tar files that contain the firmware image plus all external apps. In this case, you only need to download the one file mayhem_v#.#.#.ppfw.tar and place it in the FIRMWARE folder of your SD card. When you select this file in the newer Flash Utility, the Flash Utility will automatically extract all the external apps to the APPS folder and flash the firmware .bin file.
