Download the file for the language of your choice. To flash the new ROM image, you must load it onto the Spectrum. This can be done from a PC using the [[ethup]] tool, or via the EAR socket as a TZX file.
This is probably what you've come here looking for, especially if you had a firmware upgrade go bad.
If you can't get to the Spectrum copyright message because your Spectranet has bad firmware, close jumper J2 to disable the automatic page-in, then reset your Spectrum. You can then send the TZX or TAP file via an audio cable and reprogram the Spectranet.


How to flash the new ROM using ethup:
TAP and TZX files:


# Download the ROM image for your language (English and Spanish ROMs are available).
CLEAR 26999
# CLEAR 32767 on the Spectrum.
LOAD "" CODE
# Close the NMI switch to bring up the NMI menu.
(play the TAP or TZX file to the Spectrum)
# Choose option C - load arbitrary data.
RANDOMIZE USR 27000
# Use [[ethup]] to send the file from the PC, for example "ethup 172.16.0.4 romprog.out" to send the English ROM to a Spectrum on IP 172.16.0.4.
# Exit back to BASIC.
# RANDOMIZE USR 32768


How to flash the new ROM using the TZX file:
* [http://spectrum.alioth.net/downloads/installer.tap Latest firmware - TAP format]
* [http://spectrum.alioth.net/downloads/installer.tzx Latest firmware - TZX format]


# Download the TZX file for your language.
Binary files:
# CLEAR 32767 on the Spectrum.
# Use an appropriate TZX player on the PC, and LOAD "" CODE on the Spectrum.
# When loaded, RANDOMIZE USR 32768

You can use the [[ethup]] tool to send the binary image to a Spectrum if your Spectranet is working. You can also load it with the %aload command from a filesystem.

Installers

This is probably what you've come here looking for, especially if you had a firmware upgrade go bad. If you can't get to the Spectrum copyright message because your Spectranet has bad firmware, close jumper J2 to disable the automatic page-in, then reset your Spectrum. You can then send the TZX or TAP file via an audio cable and reprogram the Spectranet.

TAP and TZX files:

CLEAR 26999
LOAD "" CODE
(play the TAP or TZX file to the Spectrum)
RANDOMIZE USR 27000

Binary files:

You can use the ethup tool to send the binary image to a Spectrum if your Spectranet is working. You can also load it with the %aload command from a filesystem.

CLEAR 26999
(send the binary image)
RANDOMIZE USR 27000

Base system only installers

If you have a custom module setup, you might want to only install/update the base system and leave the modules untouched. The procedure is the same as for the above full installers.
