I'm not sure how we will do this. The camera is not booting fully right now, and is stuck in an endless boot loop. No web interface, no TELNET, I can gain access to the TTL header and issue commands that way. I tried to XMODEM the BrickFixV2 .dav file onto the camera and it threw a corrupt... -

@Oleglevsha, I am sure your solution would have worked, but this thread is devoted to @alastairstevenson BrickfixV2 solution which worked for all my other cameras except for one that had a a tripwire in mtdblock6 set when I did an accidental firmware upgrade to v5.3.0. I trust @alastairstevenson... -

@alastairstevenson I can't believe I missed that part of the full boot process. I just saw a bunch of scrolling errors, and the camera kept rebooting. I'm glad that it is at least trying. I think you are right. I had updated the camera to 5.3.0 by my mistake, and was able to do a downgrade to... -

@alastairstevenson Thanks for the custom firmware and steps. I was able to successfully run through all commands as listed, but upon final reboot the camera spit out a bunch of error messages and is stuck in a boot loop. I have attached all command output to the Conversation you sent the... -

Ok, this sounds good. I know you have real life responsibilities, so I will be patient, and wait to hear from you. Thanks! -

Let's do it! I'm actually stuck at home recovering from a major surgery, so I have all the time in the world. I don't want to get beaten by this little Chinese camera. If you are willing to keep working with me, let's get this thing fixed. Thanks! -

@alastairstevenson I am attaching the mtd8 and mtd8ro_extract for your SA. I compared the 2 files in HxD and it looks like the extracted file is missing information from 003A0000 thru 003C0000. -

@alastairstevenson great instructions! I followed them exactly as you wrote them wrt my own network environment. I didn't receive any error messages, but after I put the bootargs variable back and do the final reboot, the camera does not enter the min-system. I poked around on it and found that... -

Well crud. I appreciate you looking into this though. I do have a NAS and it is sharing NFS right now. I also wanted to remind you that I found an XMODEM recovery prompt on the serial interface. Not sure if sending the brickfixV2 this way is an option? Let me know what else you need. I can... -

@alastairstevenson My bad, I didn't know you wanted the console text. Here it is from trying your suggestions: U-Boot 1.3.4-30623 (Dec 6 2012 - 11:05:48) ARM Clock: 480MHz DDR Clock: 336MHz Hit Ctrl+u to stop autoboot: 0 |BIND err| Unknown command:null nand booting ... load kernel... load... -

@alastairstevenson I dusted off my trusty USB-TTL serial cable and completely disassembled the camera since the serial interface is buried in the worst location. I have attached a screenshot of the output I get when I boot the camera. -

@alastairstevenson I set up another test scenario to prove what you are telling me. I have my computer connected to a dumb switch, and the dumb switch connected to the IP Cam. I am using a wall wart to power the IP Cam, so we don't have to worry with PoE negotiation. I have the Hikvision TFTP...
