This article instructs you how to update your HERO3 camera's software. You will use this process if you are updating to a newer camera software version or if you are re-updating to the existing version already on your camera. Some reasons that you'd want to manually re-update the camera's software would be (1) if your camera freezes on the video camera icon right when you power it on, (2) the GoPro App isn't connecting to the camera or showing live preview, or (3) you want to change your camera's Wi-Fi name and password. Here’s how to update your HERO3 camera’s software: Go to the page and click 'Update your camera manually'. Fill in all of the information on the first page including serial number, name, and email address. Next, select what type of update you want to do. You have the following options: • Wi-Fi & Software Update • Wi-Fi Update Only • Software Update Only If you are not sure which one you need, it is best to select Wi-Fi & Software Update. The rest of these instructions will assume that you are using the Wi-Fi & Software Update option. If you are using one of the other options, your procedure will only be a portion of the listed steps below. After you have selected your update type, click Next Step. Step 1 – Prepare Camera: To prepare the camera for the update, please do the following: • Insert a blank MicroSD card. To ensure that it is blank be sure to reformat your SD card either in the camera or on your computer with a card reader. • Power ON your HERO3 • Check battery levels.

One solution is to hack the volume S/N of the new card to match the old one. But there doesn't seem to be a utility for doing this for EXFAT cards. All the utilities are for FAT16 and FAT32. There is a way to format FAT32 cards over 32GB - there is an obscure windows app - but it is a bad hack because FAT32 has a 4GB file size limit. Step 2 - Set Up Wireless Note: If you chose the Software Update Only option, you will not go through this step. This is the step where you create your camera’s name and Wi-Fi password. If your camera has had trouble connecting to the GoPro App in the past, renaming the camera and resetting its password can clear up the issue. Here are password requirements: Your password must be at least 8 characters. It can contain the following characters: Lower and upper case letters, numbers 0-9, at symbol '@', dash '-', and underscore '_'. Step 3 – Download Update Folder This is the step where you download the update files to your computer. Simply click the 'Download Update File' button and your update will be downloaded. Step 4 - Move Update File to MicroSD Card This is the step where you will place the update files on your SD card and update the camera. We’ll walk you through the steps: 1. Locate the UPDATE.zip folder that you just downloaded Depending on your operating system you will find the UPDATE.zip file in different locations. If you are unsure of where it is you can just perform a file search to locate it. Unzip UPDATE.zip This is important. The update will not work if you place this entire zip folder on the MicroSD card. After you unzip this file it will create an UPDATE folder. Locate the Update files Within the UPDATE folder you will see the update files.
