Stage Three: Update the Proxmark
Although all Lab401 Proxmarks ship with recent firmware, it's always a good idea to flash your Proxmark to the latest version, in order to take advantage of the latest updates. Flashing is not at all scary.
- Load a command prompt (Windows Key + R, type 'cmd')

Navigate to the proxmark folder, ie:
cd proxmark\win32
-
Confirm the port configuration is correct:
notepad "FLASH - fullimage.bat"
-
Check that the port is correct. Save the file, close notepad.
- Run the flasher:
"FLASH - fullimage.bat"
- Follow the instructions - and you'll be at the latest version.
Optional: Testing your Proxmark
- Load a command prompt (Windows Key + R, type 'cmd')
-
Navigate to the proxmark folder, ie:
cd proxmark\win32

Run the proxmark client:

Where X is your com port, ie COM3
