  <p>The V1.10E firmware is installed using the <a href="https://ev3manager.education.lego.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">EV3 Device Manager</a> web page. The instructions are not entirely clear, but if you visit the web page with Chrome (recommended), Safari, Edge, or Internet Explorer, click the <em>Available Bricks (0)</em> button and wait a very long time, it will eventually pop up a dialog asking to download and install an <em>EV3 Device Manager</em> program to your computer. The EV3 Connection Manager program runs in the background on your computer and communicates with the EV3 Connection Manager web page in the browser. After installing the separate background program, the web page will be able to connect to your EV3. Then you can use it to update the firmware.

  The V1.10E firmware is installed using the [EV3 Device Manager](https://ev3manager.education.lego.com/) web page. The instructions are not entirely clear, but if you visit the web page with Chrome (recommended), Safari, Edge, or Internet Explorer, click the *Available Bricks (0)* button and wait a very long time, it will eventually pop up a dialog asking to download and install an *EV3 Device Manager* program to your computer. The EV3 Connection Manager program runs in the background on your computer and communicates with the EV3 Connection Manager web page in the browser. After installing the separate background program, the web page will be able to connect to your EV3. Then you can use it to update the firmware.

  For anyone searching in 2021 and looking for a tutorial, I finally found an option that works. Lego's browser based EV3 Device manager will NOT work, nor will the 1.5 version of EV3Lab classroom/home edition software.
  
  I wrote a tutorial in a reddit thread [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/mindstorms/comments/pcsacu/how_to_install_and_update_firmware_110e_on_an_ev3/), and have highlights posted below.
  
  1. This has only been verified on a windows 10 computer. It should work on any 7,8,10 windows PC, and theoretically on an intel based Mac; I am unsure on an m1.
  2. Download and install the 1.4.5 Lego EV3 lab software from this link [here](https://education.lego.com/nl-nl/downloads/retiredproducts/mindstorms-ev3-lab/software). This is a retired version of the software that still includes the "tools" file menu to allow for manual updates of the firmware.
  3. Download the 1.10E firmware [here](https://education.lego.com/en-gb/product-resources/mindstorms-ev3/downloads/firmware-update)
  4. Power on and plug in your EV3 to your windows computer.
  5. Open "Tools > Firmware Update"
  6. In the popup, "Show Details"
  7. "Browse" and select the 1.10E.bin file.
  8. Click Update Firmware.
  9. Success!
  
  As a robotics educator, Lego really does not need to make it this difficult. If for whatever reason the below links break, the reddit thread I posted has links to my google drive where I have stored the original 1.10E firmware and installers.
