For updating newer firmware (1910 onwards) to anything modified there are two ways which don't require opening the device and soldering uart into it:

a. Do a manual factory reset - see device manual on how to do that. This rollbacks firmware to initial factory version (presumably pre-1910) and you lose ssh access and all current settings in process, including valetudo. After that the device should create its own wifi spot like at its first launch. Then you can update it the common way. If settings weren't lost, then you didn't performed a factory reset properly.

b. If you have not an ancient version of valetudo RE installed, you should be able to reflash from web settings -> info. It requires reading what is said in notices and then it works most of the time. Anyway stating it just "not worked" isn't very informative to be able to help.

Other ways may not work and depend on the exact build you have currently flashed on your device.

you are so right. Sry i did not read the second part correct of the web/gui -> and now i did not give the link of the hash md5 file just the hash and it worked sry for bottering. And thank you for the response
