Check my response to your other posts, and the PM from a week or so back.I wish there is a forum that I can red with a Step by Step instruction on what firmware and what hack to perform to fix this.
Still waiting for you post. Need to upgrade firmware on my NVR DS-7608NI-E2, v3.4.82. Password lost.Re: DS-7604NI-E1/4P, DS-7608NI-E2/8P and DS-7616NI-E2/16P Firmware V. 3.3.6 Build 15
Hikvision NVRs do not respond to TFTP in the same manner as IPCs. A TTL-level serial connection (not RS-232 level) is required to unbrick these devices via the white 4-pin UART connector on the main logic board. With IP cameras, simply throwing up the Hikvision TFTP server with the proper firmware loaded into that directory is sufficient. Power on the camera, set the IPs accordingly, and done. It's a fairly straightforward recovery process once everything is set up correctly. NVRs are not the same. I've recovered many of these NVRs (the 3.1.x to 3.4.x upgrade bricks them every time) and all of them appear to be the same. While they still require TFTP for the transfer of the firmware itself, it's not automated like the IP cameras are.
IPCs have a version of U-Boot that within the first n seconds of power on, probe the network for a TFTP server at 192.0.0.128. If found, connect as client and attempt to pull digicap.dav, (The firmware), flash it, and reboot. (Sometimes the reboot doesn't happen I've found). In any case, that is an automated process.
NVRs on the other hand must be invoked manually. You need to PuTTY over serial/TTL directly into the boot loader to manually halt it. Once U-boot is stopped, there are a few prompts asking you for info. At this point, make sure your computer and recorder are both connected to your main network (no 192.0.0.128 necessary). It will ask you to set an IP for the recorder, then specify the IP of your TFTP server (your computer). It will start the firmware recovery process once you hit enter. It will not reboot after it's done, it requires hitting Enter in PuTTY over serial to finish it off (or a power cycle will work too).
What is remaining in my NVR stock from last year have already been bricked and firmware upgraded, so I'm not touching those again, but a friend of mine has a 7608 that is in need of a firmware upgrade which will result in a brick. I will write a step by step post sometime this week and link it here using that recorder. Details, screenshots and all. Give me until Friday. Have a few other things on my plate at the moment.
This was written before the E, I, and K series recorders came into existence due to firmware upgrades screwing up the user login info stored onboard. While the same procedure would apply, you’d be much better off contacting Hikvision regarding a password reset. If you’re using a Chinese device however then I can see your concern.Still waiting for you post. Need to upgrade firmware on my NVR DS-7608NI-E2, v3.4.82. Password lost.

Reset files are specific you your device serial number and time of day. They’re useless if either of those pieces of info changes or if you power cycle the device.BTW, I will post here the export and the import file I received, maybe it will be useful to smb to find out the method used to decrypt

I took a couple of pictures to show how to restore the NVR via U-boot and a serial UART connection. You'll need a TTL (not the higher voltage RS-232 version) UART USB dongle, a terminal program such as PuTTY or Tera Term or minicom, etc, set to 115K baud, no parity, one stop bit, 8 data bits. Lastly you'll need to connect to the motherboard of the NVR as shown in the pics for my setup. You'll also need to have a tftp server running on your PC with the new digicap.dav firmware file in the tftp send directory. When you turn on the NVR you will need to press crtl-u quickly (or the NVR will boot) to stop U-boot and you'll be presented with one option, to update as shown in the pic on the PC screen. There you'll specify the IP address for the NVR and your computer. The NVR will then do a tftp file get command looking for the file digicap.dav and your PC's tftp server should serve this file. The NVR will flash the new firmware and reboot. All done.
