Using the directions on https://meshtastic.org/docs/getting-started/flashing-firmware/meshtastic-flasher ... Python version 3.7.3

• installed and ran metastatic installer
• Got latest version
• Found device (rak4631_5005)
• From Terminal:
• User picked radio rak4631_5005
• • self.device_from_picker:rak4631_5005
• • index:1
• • end of detect
• • Flash was clicked.
• • update only is not checked
• -User confirmed they want to flash
• -Flash nrf52
• -copying file:1.3.41.80ddb81/firmware-rak4631_5005-1.3.41.80ddb81.uf2 to dest:/Volumes/RAK4631/firmware-rak4631_5005-1.3.41.80ddb81.uf2
• • Traceback (most recent call last):
• • File "/Users/manusachdeva/Sites/localhost/mmsnode/virpy/venv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/meshtastic_flasher/form.py", line 1161, in flash_stuff

• -FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '1.3.41.80ddb81/firmware-rak4631_5005-1.3.41.80ddb81.uf2'

Ok, the reason "fileNotFoundError" happened because the file in the drive was named "Current.uf2" --> not sure if this specific to the set up on my RAK4631_5005 or is generalized to all RAK4631_5005

RESOLVED:

• Closed Meshtastic Flasher
• Manually added firmware-rak4631_5005-1.3.41.80ddb81.uf2 to the RAK4631_5005 Folder/drive on MAC OSX (12.5)

You can't install 1.2 firmware with the latest flasher, there is a link to the pip command to install the last 1.2 flasher release here https://meshtastic.org/docs/1.2-End-of-life/

[garthvh]

This is the 1.2 RAK firmware file firmware-rak4631-1.3.42.8ef5100.uf2, if you are wanting to install 1.2 I would just use the drag and drop firmware update https://meshtastic.org/docs/getting-started/flashing-firmware/flashing-nrf52

Ah I see. Great! Yeah; I did the drag and drop Firmware update afterward the GUI. Also, thanks for the quick response. Much appreciated. : )
