Controlling Sonoff Smart Switches without internet over Local Area Network is hot topic for Sonoff enthusiasts. After loading any custom firmware to Sonoff, you cannot go back to the official firmware but now you can!!. Just backup your official firmware by following the instructions below and you can restore it later if you want. So Let’s get started..
Hardware Requirements:
- Sonoff Smart Switch
- FTDI USB To TTL 3.3V & 5.5V Serial Adapter + Cable
- Premium Female/Female Jumper Wires
- Personal Computer / Laptop
- WiFi Router
Software Requirements:
Step-by-Step Procedure:
Step A:
Download and install Python 2.x or 3.x from https://www.python.org/downloads. Download Esptool from https://github.com/espressif/esptool/releases. Extract the contents of esptool compressed file to C:. All the contents of esptool should be under c:esptool.
Step B:
- Open Command Prompt (Start > Run > cmd) and navigate to esptool folder.
cd c:/esptool
- Install the esptool by issuing the command below.
python setup.py install
It takes few seconds to upload firmware and output will be shown as follows.

Hi,
Great article. Thanks for it.
But I have a problem in reading flash:
“A fatal error occured: Corrupt data, expected 0x1000 bytes but received 0xffd bytes”
Do you have any idea about this error?
Thanks
Hello. What are you going to do? Backing up Official Firmware?
Hi,
Yes, I want to make a backup.
Change your cable. If problem persists then flash memory might get damaged.
Hello dear i have bakup but not working? I have replaced new flash , uploaded my backup and not work. I have error boot @1000 or boot @81000
Help for backup?
Oter firmware working fine.
Please explain your problem and send the complete error message

Have you erased the flash? Have a look on to Erase Flash Memory. Moreover, are you using an FTDI with 3.3V logic to upload the binary file because esp8266 is not 5v tolerant. If problem persists, create and issue at https://github.com/esp8266/esptool/issues.
Upon investigation, we found the flash size issue. Check troubleshooting or Determine Flash Size Section above.
??? Dear not have solution? Change spiffs? Or other ? Have all file for upload? Only Boot ?

Try to disconnect the esp from the PC and start Sonoff device in programming mode again
Check your FTDI connections or cable. You might be connecting RX or TX lines inversely or your Sonoff device is not started in programming mode.
push the button when plugging ftdi usb cable and release it after 2 seconds

I have two SONOFF basic switches both loaded with custom firmware. Using your backup/restore processes, I backed up factory firmware and restored to these two switches. The backup, erase, then restore worked perfectly. However, when I powered up both restored switches, nothing, no lights. What am I missing here. Does backup/restore only work with the same switch? Thanks for your guidance.
There may be the issue with flash size. Check Determine the Flash Size Section, updated today.
I have same issue with sonoff POW after succesfull backup/restore it is dead no light.

Great write up, thanks!
I have one residual question. Is it possible to write the official firmware, read from a 1M flash onto a 4M flash?
The reason I ask is that I have swapped the flash chips (from 1M with 4M flash) on most of my Sonoff basic’s. I would like to restore the original firmware onto the 4M flash chips.
Hi, I was doing some tests with Sonoff Basic and RF. Downloading their FW and then uploading the files to a different device, also to an ESP-07 stand alone module. This way I was able to make a Sonoff Basic or an ESP-07 run as a Sonoff RF on Ewelink. I tried the same with the RF image shared here and it runs OK, but if I upload the TH10/16 images nothing happens. I power the device, put GPIO to GND for a few seconds but the ITEAD Wifi doesn´t appear. Any clue?
Sorry for the delayed response, I’ll try to upload a new backup of binary file of Sonoff TH-16 soon.
I will appreciate that! Thanks
Please upload backup file file of rf bridge
The only problem I saw running this directions is that the ID flashed in the device is the one coming in the .bin file, which belongs to a real device, so it means that once flashed, the device will have a duplicated id, and when registered into eWelink cloud it will dump the real one, or even worst, all the people downloading this file will be deleting the registry of the device from each one.
So, How to generate a unique Device ID to edit with hex in the bin?
D.Mora you are right, but both the Device ID and the MAC-ADDRESS are found as seen on eWelink on the HEX file. So you can edit the file before uploading to your new device. With that you can have any ESP module running at least Sonoff Basic and RF as if they were originals.
carozoynarizota, Is it possible on non rooted phones? And what is the procedure?
vickeymalikpc I´ve done everything through my desktop PC, procedure explained here to flash Sonoff devices is the same for every ESP8266 you come across. Once the right FW version flashed on your device it is supposed to work according to what is it in there. For example if you pick an ESP-01 and flash that device with Sonoff Basic R2 FW, then you can make it go up on ewelink in your phone (that can be downloaded from play store). D.Mora points here that you will be replicating the ID found on you FW file, then my answer that it… Read more »
Yes, it can be modified, the problem is that the Device ID is linked to a unique API key, so if you modify the device ID to any random number (or even the original one), it will register to the eWelink cloud, but it will never achieve the connection to work without the correspondent API Key. The only way to restore a Sonoff device to its original with this firmware, can happen if you know your original, Device ID (or anyone not used) and it’s API key; the MAC is not problem as it is not related to the firmware,… Read more »
So these files are useless!!
How can I get the Device ID if I already flashed the tasmota and I want to come back to original?
Did you flash it inmedately before testing your device with the original FW in the ewelink APP? If registered may be you can get the original ID from there. If not you can edit the files shared here to give them a different ID to see if the ewelink app recognises your device.
If anyone is interested, I have a script that can fetch your registered devices from the eWelink and will show you your deviceID and APIkey. Link to my repo below.
https://github.com/Philiptpp/sonoff_registered_devices
Very good!
Good point, they might be doing some kind of verification through their servers. But at least we know that the IDs are not linked to device type (as I was able to run a Basic like an RF module). Did you tried to change the device ID to see if it is rejected by the ewelink platform?
Could you please describe how to modify the firmware through Hexa editor (as HxD) to be able to use it on another device (for sonoff basic and RF) ?
In my case i have backup sonoff basic firmware and i want to install in on Sonoff RF R2.
I tried using the firmware provided here above (without any change in the file), it allows adding the device in Ewelink but it never go online so it cannot be used.
Thanks in advance for your help.
how to change the mac-address in the hex file pls.
Check the MAC on your device and open then the .bin in an hex editor and search for the string in it. There you can change it.
Hi D.Mora, Did you find a solution to generate a unique accepted by ewelink platform ? I tried to backup sonoff basic firmware, changing deviceID (incrementing number) in HxD editor and download firmware on other sonoff basic but it didn’t work.
Does anyone have the original sonoff T1 US 2C firmware?
Thanks
I need Official Sonoff Firmware for Sonoff rf BRIDGE
Anyone have a working backup of a SonOff Basic R2?

I think everyone trying to backup/restore their FW should be testing their backup in an alternative device before erasing their original itself. It should work on Sonoff Basic/RF, also in Sonoff TH but I haven´t got the chance to test this one . I didn´t analyze the Sonoff POW schematic, but if it is based on an ESP8266 as the others you shoud give it a try in the same way.

Good day all,
Has anyone been able to find a solution for this? I have been trying to flash Sonoff firmware on my TH16 after running it with Tasmota for a while. I have tried all of the Sonoff firmware and the only one that allowed me to discover and add the device in eWeLink app was the iFan02.bin , I tried loading the Th16 firmware afterwards but same result.
I have the same problem.
how to change the mac-address in the hex file pls.
I did everything correctly and I already copied the fimware of a new device to the device to recover successfully. BUT when I try to use the eWelink application and try to add the device it says in a state of synchronization that a second generation device has been found, an error box pops up in the app saying: Invalid Data. And the operation is canceled
Hi all – great resource!
Will there be an R3 firmware uploaded soon?

Hello, just for confirmation: I just downloaded the original firmware (previously updated to 3.3.0) using your perfectly working procedure, flashed tasmota, restored the original firmware and repaired with ewelink. Everything ok and flawless. I have a hunch……this is the md5 of the firmware of an original sonoff basic R2 3.3.0 52304de643cbf9539ccc9b0fbe8368a6 if anyone has any other device from iteac still working with the original firmware. Can you try to download it and see if it is has the same md5? I see no point in having so many different firmware, maybe the firmware is the same, depending only on chip’s… Read more »
any update on this ? somehow my original firmware is crashing and i don’t have backup nor ITEAD guys are helping me
just flashed an official image backup taken from basic r2, into a basic r3. It worked but the r3 is getting the same Device ID and Mac address as the r2 so that they got into conflict when registered through ewelink app. Wandering if there is any methon to change that to match each unique hardware specs
I thing MAC Address can be any value, but device ID must be generated from Itead in a way they can validate devices registered to their service. Thats the reason why it is important to make a full backup of each image before playing with new .bin files. Take down notes from the MAC and the DevID you see on ewelink app, then edit you .bin file with an hex editor like HxD. The MAC can be find as an hexadecimal value within the file, and the ID as decoded text. Good luck!
Hi Dear ; Bridge 433 Mhz Do you have a firmware?

I tried other firmwares and the box starts up and connects with ewelink without being able to register. is it possible to have a new original firmware or to make one from a bin file knowing that I have the id and the mac address of my box
With ne the same problem, the firmware maybe have the ID of any sonoff registered and can´t register again the same ID… I think…
I had downloaded the Sonoff basic R2 firmware to my device but when I go to connect to Ewelink app, it registers but it says the device is offline. Is there a way to fix this?

Hello! Is it possible to upload Sonoff basic fw onto a board like Wemos D1 R2 or NodeMcu? I tried it with 4M option but without success – ewelink app did not find the device. I tried to pull down GPIO0 button, but it did not help. Am I missed something, or is it caused by copy protection on server side?
Have you connect RST & GND on D1 board?
Hello, I understand this thread is about backing up your Sonoff devices. My question is indirectly related to the ongoing discussion. I currently have multiple devices in use and working very well. My collection contains a couple of Smart Switches, about 8 S2’s, and some miscellaneous EPS32’s. I just received a Sonoff IW100 which I thought would be a breeze to modify, but I have not figured out a way to download the current firmware from the unit. I have tried pushing what I think is the reset button on the face of the unit, but no matter what I… Read more »
I can’t pair anymore since i’ve restored the firmware on one of them with the write_flash. I press and hold for 8 seconds, so it start blinking 3 times & stop repeatedly, so it’s like in “discover me mode” so i should be able to detected ITEAD in my wifi list, but i can’t find it.
If you have any idea, they are welcome
I have the same problem
Edit the bin file.. Change your Device Number & apiKey to that and upload to ESP again.. It will work..

with a .bin file of a new sonoff touch with 8285 chip I was able to download it ….. but with this firmware image … I can’t register in other devices … I believe that the binary should contain some registration of the chip id or MAC Address …. and when you go to register on the Ewelink account, you accuse the error 30014 … someone has already been through this situation … I have 34 switches to go back to the original firmware.
Hi, which one is for the bridge?
Does anyone have the Official Sonoff Firmware Binary Files for the Sonoff DUAL R2 device? I cant see it in the list of binary’s on this page.
