Before starting, make sure that your Meteor Pro remains connected during the entire flashing process.
Interrupting the connection during an update may cause the device to enter an undefined or unrecoverable state.

-
Open a browser that supports Web Serial (such as Chrome, Edge, or Opera).

Go to the official Meshtastic Flasher website: https://flasher.meshtastic.org
-
In the device list, select NomadStar Meteor Pro.
-
Choose the latest stable (Beta) firmware version available.
-
Click “Flash”.
- On the next page, click on "Enter DFU".
