OTA Update for New Devices
If you have a newly purchased Evil Crow RF v2, the easiest method to update firmware is using the OTA (Over The Air) method:
- Power on your new Evil Crow RF v2
- Connect to the device's WiFi hotspot (which should be functional on new devices)
- Navigate to http://192.168.4.1/update in your web browser
- Select the appropriate firmware .bin file (such as h_RAT firmware)
- Click "Update" to flash the device
- After flashing is complete, prepare the SD card with appropriate files as described below
- Insert the SD card and restart the device
This "Install the .bin from OTA" method is typically more reliable for new devices as it bypasses potential USB connectivity issues.
#
Firmware Installation via USB
- Download and install ESPHome-Flasher
- Close all programs that might use the COM port
- Prepare for flashing:
- Open ESPHome-Flasher
- Select your chosen firmware .bin file
- Choose the correct COM port
- Enter download mode:
- Disconnect the device from USB
- Hold the EN button
- Connect the device to USB (while holding EN)
- Immediately click "Flash ESP" in ESPHome-Flasher and release EN
Note
Download mode is only active for 1-2 seconds, so you need to click "Flash ESP" quickly.
#
Initial Verification
Before proceeding with SD card setup, verify the firmware installation:
Connect to the device's WiFi network:
- For h_RAT firmware:
- SSID: ECRF
- Password: 123456789
- For original firmware:
- SSID: Evil Crow RF v2
- Password: 123456789ECRFv2
- For HUN73R firmware:
- SSID: Evil Crow RF v2
- Password: 123456789
- For h_RAT firmware:
Check if http://192.168.4.1/update is accessible
- This page should load regardless of SD card status
- If it doesn't load, reflash the firmware
#
SD Card Preparation
Warning
Only use MicroSD cards up to 32GB formatted in FAT32. Larger cards are not compatible.
- Format the MicroSD card in FAT32
- Copy the required folders based on your firmware:
- For h_RAT firmware:
- CONFIG
- HTML
- SUBGHZ
- For original firmware and HUN73R:
- HTML
- URH
- For h_RAT firmware:
If one SD card doesn't work, try another - even identical models can behave differently.
