First thing first you need to Backup the original firmware on your device
I will explain this in another Topic :

"How to Backup & Restore Official Firmware on any Espressif ESP8266 & ESP32 chips"

for now
Here is the “easiest way” for how to Flash a Sonoff Basic or any ESP8266 / ESP8285 boards with the .bin files.


Software needed :-
FlashEZ zip: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/releases
Tasmota releases : https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/releases
sonoff.bin: https://github.com/arendst/Sonoff-Tasmota/releases/download/v6.4.1/sonoff.bin
Termite: https://www.compuphase.com/software_termite.htm 
Example Backlog Command for Termite to enter Tasmota Commands: 
Backlog SSID1 xxxxxx; Password1 yyyyyy; MqttHost brokerIP; MqttUser xxxxxxx; MqttPassword yyyyyyy; GPIO14 09; Hostname sonoff_name; MqttClient unique_sonoff_name; Topic sonoff_name; FriendlyName1 Sonoff-Name

see also Tasmota Commands page in the wiki section

Commands

to change your location after flashing the .bin file we go to the Console menu
and type the Commands

 Latitude   <value>   (set your latitude)
 Longitude  <value>   (set your longitude)

also for a correct Time, Timezone must be entered mine is 2

Timezone   <value>   (set your Timezone)
 
   `-13..13`  = set timezone
   `99`  = use timezone configured with  `TimeDST`  and  `TimeSTD`

 TimeSTD    <value>   
    &
 TimeDST    <value>   

 Set standard (STD) and daylight saving (DST) timezones
    `0`  = reset timezone parameters to firmware defaults
    `H`  = hemisphere ( `0`  = northern hemisphere /  `1`  = southern hemisphere)
    `W`  = week ( `0`  = last week of month,  `1..4`  = first .. fourth)
    `M`  = month ( `1..12` )
    `D`  = day of week ( `1..7`  = sunday saturday saturday
    `h`  = hour ( `0..23` )
    `T`  = timezone ( `-780..780` )(offset from UTC in  **MINUTES**  - 780min/60min=13hrs)
