So I was able to go back to previous firmware revision (EmpireTech blah blah blah...210729.bin) by following this:
A successor of Dahua IPC unbricking / recovery over serial UART and TFTP I recommend you to read through the above thread first. If your camera still has a working bootloader (assume it does) then you can flash it easily, because: The camera tries to download a file called...

See attached image, although it's back up, I do not see the Device Type in the information page as I do with the working camera. Odd? Will I have problems in the future? I don't want to go through the trouble of reinstalling this back to later find issues.
But guess what, I tried multiple times to flash the camera in question with:
EmpireTech IPC-HX5XXX-Volt_MultiLang_NP_Stream3_V2.840.15OG00D.0.R.220818.bin
It always bricks or goes into some boot loop!!! It has nothing to do with going to default settings prior to flashing or my "bad network" as EMPIRETECANDY eluded to in our private emails. Besides, I run enterprise equipment here.
This version
always bricks one of my cameras. Why? and why did the other have no issue with this firmware? I bought two of the same cameras from Andy yet they behave in an inconsistent manner, deceptive behaviour for a new customer....
I don't know if it has something to do with the fact that the firmwares that do work have a pd-x-squashfs.img file within the .bin and the 220818 doesn't or a hardware difference, I don't know...
Really disappointed in that I had to expend a lot of grief and energy for something that should have worked first attempt as it did with the first camera. I'm currently quite ill and wish I could have avoided all of this. We live in a dangerous area . I paid someone to put it up, someone to bring it down and now I have to pay to get it back up again. I'm currently on disability and unemployed. So it's hard. But I truly thank the members for helping out.
