    Bricked HDBW4421. Fixed firmware doesn't start (loops)

    I do not browse here often, but the pins should be easy to figure out. In our photos, they are visible as holes in the second photo, they do not have actual pins. I believe this has 3 holes, so RX, TX, GND, but the photo on the bottom is a decent example. This PDF shows connection methods (on...

    Bricked HDBW4421. Fixed firmware doesn't start (loops)

    I would assume that to be the standard 'vsync': Searching for Amberella and VSYNC I find very little information, but it all seems to point towards a signal that is not being acquired. But I do not know for certain. There are no damaged wires, and before digging into the firmware this was a...

    Bricked HDBW4421. Fixed firmware doesn't start (loops)

    The other thing I wondered; Is since I flashed a newer version firmware, including the bootloader (I'd assume). If flashing the bootloader would be appropriate. I'm deeply curious what tells the camera it must use Chinese/etc.

    Bricked HDBW4421. Fixed firmware doesn't start (loops)

    I mentioned it previously that I was concerned about the Language of the camera. The camera has never been Chinese (as far as I'm aware of) and except for that line in the logs, nothing lead me to knowing it was/wasn't a Chinese camera. I've tried to modify the /mnt/custom directory before and...

    Bricked HDBW4421. Fixed firmware doesn't start (loops)

    First I pulled help from the bootloader: ? - alias for 'help' backup - backup - manual backup program. base - print or set address offset bdinfo - print Board Info structure boot - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' bootd - boot default, i.e., run 'bootcmd' bootf - boot from...

    Bricked HDBW4421. Fixed firmware doesn't start (loops)

    The message to stop U-Boot (with the * key) doesn't occur on my camera. I've held it, pressed repeatedly and the message prompting the user to press a key to stop it never appears. So, there isn't a way to run anything in the bootloader except by passing the commands via the TFTP server...

    Bricked HDBW4421. Fixed firmware doesn't start (loops)

    I'm away from the camera currently, but I did some digging last night. It appears that the /mnt/mtd/Config/ directory is empty. Reloading the firmware (via TFTP) doesn't change this. I can (by way of dh_keyboard 0 and appauto 0) gain access to busybox and telnet but running /sbin/upgraded and...

    Bricked HDBW4421. Fixed firmware doesn't start (loops)

    1) The file does exist. 2)The only time I get to command line is when I set dh_keyboard 0 and appauto 0, thus allowing me Telnet and input by serial (since Sonia doesn't start). If you mean by either of those, no. I have not tried to issue "tftp 0x82000000 pd-x.squashfs.img; flwrite" from...

    Bricked HDBW4421. Fixed firmware doesn't start (loops)

    I realize the camera isn't the latest but I bricked my HDBW4421R-AS. It was running 2.400.0.28 when I tried to flash "DH_IPC-HX4X2X-Themis_EngSpn_N_Stream3_V2.620.0000002.0.R.170830" from the WebUI. The camera took the firmware and rebooted and began boot looping. I could only reach it when it...

    The setting was "Use secure session keys and login page." I don't recall changing this setting, but I may have. Thank you for the pointer in the right direction.

    Blue Iris UI3

    Thanks Tony, I'll give that a go. I didn't install it manually. It installed through the BI update so I was expectant for integration to work smoothly. I'll report back if that doesn't clear things up
