Also you can skip 5-7 and flash with

Troubleshooting
I'm using Windows and name changing / building firmware doesn't work
- Use PowerShell or VSCode terminal(powershell by default)
- Clear build files -
.\fbt.cmd COMPACT=1 DEBUG=0 updater_package -c
- Enter this in same terminal
$Env:CUSTOM_FLIPPER_NAME="Name"
- Run release build -
.\fbt.cmd COMPACT=1 DEBUG=0 updater_package
- Flash as described before (see 6.)
- If something still not work - Run powershell or VSCode as Admin
Name stays same for every new build
- Clear build files -
./fbt COMPACT=1 DEBUG=0 updater_package -c
- Try again
I want to return my original name and serial number
- Flash stock FW or any CFW using microSD card offline update method
Or
- Clear build files -
./fbt COMPACT=1 DEBUG=0 updater_package -c
- Run release build -
./fbt COMPACT=1 DEBUG=0 updater_package
- Copy
dist/f7-C/f7-update-local
folder to microSDupdate/myfw/
and runupdate
file on flipper from file manager app (Archive) - Flash from microSD card only, .dfu update from qFlipper will not work properly since name and serial number will be changed
