Flashing & recovery

Flash or rescue your hub in minutes.

SMHUB Flasher is a free, cross-platform app — and CLI — that flashes fresh firmware onto your SMHUB, or brings an unbootable one back to life, over USB in about a minute and a half.

Flash or rescue your hub in minutes.
Flash in ~90 seconds

Download, run, pick your firmware, hit Flash. A six-step tracker and live log show exactly what’s happening — including the moment to plug in.

Three ways to load

Online — pick a channel and version, checksum-verified. From a local folder or USB stick. Or the Recovery Console for a hub that won’t boot.

Built to rescue

It talks to the hub’s boot ROM directly over USB, so it can revive a completely unbootable device — fully offline if you keep firmware on a USB drive.

GUI or command line

A desktop app for every OS, or the very same engine as a scriptable CLI. Same firmware, whichever you prefer.

How it works

Three steps, done.

  1. 1
    Download and run

    Grab the desktop app for Windows, macOS or Linux — nothing to configure.

  2. 2
    Pick your firmware

    Choose an online channel and version, or point it at a local folder or USB stick.

  3. 3
    Flash — plug in when asked

    The app detects the hub, loads the bootloader and writes the image, then tells you when you can unplug.

Ready to dive in?

SMHUB Flasher is a free, cross-platform app — and CLI — that flashes fresh firmware onto your SMHUB, or brings an unbootable one back to life, over USB in about a minute and a half.

A brand-new open-source app, so Windows and macOS may show an “unknown publisher” prompt the first time you launch it — that’s expected.
