Custom Firmware Downgrader 5.3.0 Chinese to 5.2.5 English

It seems like the camera is working for 15-20 minutes after flashing and then goes into endless boot loop. It does work OK (when it works) so I suspect it's the firmware. Maybe I should use different firmware? I only flashed it once yesterday. I will try again today with the 4 Lines Intrusion detection firmware from page 1. Maybe it'll help...
 
I flashed the firmware once again. The camera was working fine until I rebooted it and it immediately went into boot loop once again... I think I'll be returning it for a refund as I can't see how to solve this problem :(
 
I have a 3132f-iw which I have not touched yet. If someone could tell me how I could copy the firmware off it and send you a copy to see if you can get it going again?
 
The firmware will be the same as 2XX2 models
 
I tried that whoslooking, It uploads the file fine but never reports 'system update completed' On reboot wont come back up.

OK, so the file was transferred OK.
What was the result as seen in SADP after the camera was power-cycled?
May be worth also trying changing the firmware language with Hiktools - some others found that was the key to success.
 
Still 4.0.8V
I don't have admin password.

I upgraded the firmware to the one on the first page:
UPDATED: Now with 4 Lines Intrusion detection 02/10/15
with Thanks to @DemonicHawk for this addon
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ph292l0lbi...lines.rar?dl=0

Everythig is working ok except on the playback page. When I click on download recordings or images the window opens and closes. I have popup block turned off and it still closes the window. The page that is closing is ~doc\page\download.js~.

Any chance someone could take a look at it and see why it closes? The camera I'm using is the DS-2CD3332-I with the login.js modified to show English.

Thanks,
Chris

Hi all,

Upgraded DS-2CD2032F-I to 5.3.0, now I wanted to downgrade the firmware to 5.2.5 using this tool because I had this error:

Code:
Access Error: 404 -- Not Found

firmware language mismatch: /home/webLib

Did everything as in the manual, but after transfer completed I received no other messages, no system update completed message. I waited for more than 10 minutes when I finally decided to reboot the camera and after reboot the SADP tool couldn't find the camera anymore, rebooted a few times without any success, but after about 15 minutes the SADP tool showed me the camera again but it had another version it was v4.0.8 and not 5.2.5, why ? I've used the firmware that was in the archive from #1

Now I can't connect to the camera on web interface, the SADP tool finds the camera but when I try to make some modification in the parameters I always get "Timed out" error.

What I did wrong? Why the camera has different version than 5.2.5? And how can I solve this issue?

Thank you in advance.

This is the 'min-system' recovery mode that the camera uses when incompatible firmware has been installed. It's a minimum system, no web services, but enough that other firmware can be installed.

Thank you for your quick answer. Smb can share a working 5.2.5 firmware for DS-2CD2032F-I ? I would really appreciate.

I'm wondering if the firmware linked to here would help, the symptoms sound similar:
https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthrea...lp-clarification?p=64360&viewfull=1#post64360

I managed to put V5.3.0 build 150513 back on the camera but again it had same error "firmware language mismatch", after that I tried the firmware form the link you gave me but again without success, I'm back to "minimum system".
Is there a way to backup/extract firmware from another working camera that has v5.2.5 firmware?
