Manual Update by Re-flashing
----------------------------
Manual Update
-------------
In some cases, it may be necessary to manually update by :ref:`re-flashing StartOS<flashing>`. Reasons might include:
.. tip:: This guide will cover how to recover existing StartOS 0.3.x service and user data with a newly flashed server.
#. Obtain the latest copy of StartOS either by `downloading <https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os/releases/latest>`_ or `building from source <https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os/tree/latest/build>`_.
#. :ref:`Flash the downloaded image <flashing>` to your microSD card.
#. Insert the microSD card into your server and power it on.
.. note:: Your server will power up and then initialize, a process of less than 5 minutes if you downloaded an image, or about 10-20 minutes if you built from source. Once complete you will hear a _bep_ to indicate it is initialized and then a _chime_ sound to indicate it is online.
#. On your computer, open up a browser and go to http://start.local
#. Select "Recover"

#. Select "Use Existing Drive"

#. Select the drive you were using previously.

#. Create a master password and click "Finish."
.. warning:: Choose a strong master password. If you don't wish to change your password from the previous version, just set it to the same thing it was before you began the upgrade. Write this password down. Store it somewhere safe. DO NOT LOSE IT.

#. You are now on the new version of StartOS, and the old version's data has been migrated to it! Continue to the section on :ref:`connecting` to learn more about using your server over Tor and LAN.
.. tip:: The "Go to Emassy Login" button will not be usable until you click download. The address information and root certificate contained in this download will not have changed from what you were using before this whole process so if you do not require it you can close this tab and simply go to your server's Lan or Tor address.
