Thanks, i took a while.. to learn the subject :) So, now, the big question, will all that work on a let's say 5.4.0 Chinese version ? I mean using the tftp to upload 5.4.0 Chinese and then MTD hack it in the same way ?

SOLVED :) After a night of struggling with firmwares and using the hiktool to change from 1 to 2, it turns out it's not really working. The only solution was to use the Chinense 5.2.5 from the link (do not change "digicap" to "digcap", it should be digicap.dav)-> Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0...

Hi, Thank you for the reply. Took the file from the official site, under the camera download section, it was 5.4.0, will check for any additional naming of the file. I used the web gui and even got "upgraded successfully" message. I bought it from ebay, so there is a chance it was a 5.2.5 cn...

Hi, I've (stupidly tried) upgrading from 5.2.5 to 5.4.0 downloaded from HIKIVISION site. The web interface said "Upgrade succeeded" but after reboot, it's a brick... router doesn't recognize it neither SADP. Tried running the TFTP with 5.3.0 but it's looping "Device[192.0.0.64] test tftpserver"...
