When you say "real" brick, you mean it's not booting up in any fashion now? I have what I hope is just a "soft" brick that I've got most of the tools to try to recover. It just hasn't bubbled to the top of my todo list yet. "real" life keeps getting in the way :-)

Questions can't be dumb. Only people can be dumb. ;-) But no, that's not a dumb question. Yeah, I did wait up to 10 minutes. Interesting to me is the one Eng firmware that sent back the completed message only when set to english. In Chinese it also stalled. I'm going to try a few other...

Well, I've tried half a dozen different fw versions and most don't give me the "Device[192.0.0.64] system update completed!" when applied. No matter if I'm flashing English or Chinese. They just stall at "Completed file[D:\util\hikvision\downgrader\digicap.dav] transmit" Only one version shows...

I've got a DS-2CD2632F-IS that I tried to install the latest US firmware on. It's got a chinese sticker (which I now understand is a warning sign). 5.3.0 if I remember correctly, though the original order said it would have 5.2.5 I've tried several different fw versions and locales using the...

I'm yet another member of the "dead camera club" and I wanted to back up my mtd files from a working camera. Got in just fine and made copies but my camera doesn't appear to have the ftpd daemon on it anywhere. It also doesn't support scp. How can I get the files *off* the camera? It's a...

Is there any chance someone's done a writeup that has all the serial and firmware update knowledge in one place? Or is that an unreasonable thing to think given the way Hikvision hates their customers? I too am going through the results of a bad firmware update and am left with a boot-looping...
