Firmware 3.1.4 https://yadi.sk/d/e4NzxwGKhBCDo
This tool not working. Chinese interface. I try set 1 and 2 lang. Same result. Web interface - english, and on DVR only chinese.
How enable telnet on this dvr?

The tool changes the language of the firmware file - not the language of the NVR - so that the NVR does not reject the firmware file with 'language mismatch' when an upgrade is attempted.
From your screenshot - it looks like telnet is not available on the firmware that is installed.

If your camera has a build firmware above 5.2.3 then you cannot install a lower firmware than 5.2.5.

You said in your earlier post it was 5.2.3 then you can install 5.1.6 this is by far the best officially released firmware also found in my posts

I make firmware. And i try updgate from web interface, on step rebooting dvr do nothing.
And i try upgrate from tftp recovery tool, same result, the firmware not change. IF i try upgrate from original dav(from recovery tool), firmware installed and settings go to default.

thanks for the useful tool. But when i adjust the files' order in the folder, the final file keeps unchanged. And when it comes to the version 5.3.0, it comes up with the block. And we know 5.3.0 cannot degrade to 5.2.0. So I am thinking that if i modify the source code to make the order changed, the upgrade would be OK. So I ask for the source in private. Please contact me by the mail yqti@qq.com

It might be an interesting experiment. Let's see how much @wzhick is still reading - we know he is still visiting.

for model camera 2CD3310 your firmware 5.1.6 not compatible; the firmware compatible is the 5.2.0_140928
compatible only model 2CD1XXX 2CD2XX0 2CD3XX0

whoslooking · Jun 12, 2015

That's good to know, the chinese models may have been lock to a start firmware.

@wzhick Any chance of geting a version complied for linux?

torbjornjoh · Jun 15, 2015

Hi, has anyone successfully used this tool with 5.3.0 for a 2732? Mine is in chinese 5.3.0 now and I'd like to switch to English if possible. Thx.

New version 05R of hiktools avaible.
Added support for file order, based on 5.3.0
Test it!

alastairstevenson · Jun 16, 2015

Great - thanks so much!
A really useful tool that lots of us have been using to be able to make better use of our Hikvision surveillance products.
Now even more useful.

I'm curious - did you manage to repeat / confirm a specific problem with the 5.3.0 firmware, and confirm that the change deals with it?

onetech · Jun 16, 2015

Have 5.2.5 working for 3410?

Thanks this was the last piece of the puzzle fixed, now have a working downgrade from 5.30 Chinese to 5.25 English.

When i do that, I can't access the camera no more, the ip shows up on sadp but it says http 404 not found. any idea ?
tried on 5.3.0

Hello, I tried with 2cd-3410 digicap 5.2.0 with hiktools split digicap.dav destinationdir and create only 3 files, with other digicap of raptow work.Any suggest ?

kamokr · Jun 19, 2015

Hi, I've tried split-create with f/w 5.3.0 build 1505013 for 2xx2 and the update process via web interface keeps getting failed. If I don't make any changes to the source files and just pack them again, it works. But any, even small change in any of the files (like adding an empty line in initrun.sh) make the resulting dav file unusable. Does anyone have any ideas what is wrong?

BTW, there is no uImage in original 5.3.0, but hImage, so the resulting file order is different from what is specified in release notes.

Anyway, it's a great tool
