firmware language mismatch question

[benali]

I've just acquired my second ds-2cd2032-i. It seems to be the chinese version running v5.2.0, all seemed to be ok, but I stupidly upgraded it to v5.3.0. Now it gives me 'firmware language mismatch' when I try to log on to it. Please can some kind person give me the simplest solution to this? I've downloaded tftp and firmware v5.2.0, but not sure what to do next?

You mean there's some kind of language problem on your Hikvision camera after you've changed the firmware?

Sorry never heard of this before. Could try searching the board maybe - long shot but worth a try.

Logging on to the camera 'ip address into firefox'
I get:
[h=2]Access Error: 404 -- Not Found[/h]firmware language mismatch: /home/webLib

If camera is in Chinese, you could just use google translate to read the info. But never update the firmware and brick the camera (as most people did).

Thank you!
Camera now working on 5.2.5 and I can log on to it again. However, the menu is in chinese.
Mtd hack 5.2.5 & 5.2.8 Full English is it now? Wow, looks complicated!
I don't quite get why the firmware upgrade just done, doesn't give me English?

Attempting the mtd hack. Putty fails to connect to ip (192.168.1.65) of camera port 23. 'connection error connection timed out'

Do you have SSH or telnet enabled in the camera GUI? Security tab. By default these are disabled.

Ah right, that works now, didn't see any mention of that in the tutorial. Thanks. Will try the rest tomorrow now.

Yes, assuming it's a Chinese camera that's had EN firmware loaded, you can unbrick, convert to EN, and fully update using this method :

R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

The original 'brick-fix tool' and 'enhanced mtd hack' has proven pretty useful for those with R0 cameras that had been bricked by doing a firmware update. It's been even more useful to deal with the fallout from the 'Hikvision backdoor' disclosure where so many people are finding their cameras...

An easy transition from the Chinese version of the ip camera R0 series to the European version is possible using the service firmware. Follow the link to my blog page
Download the file and update the firmware from the camera's web interface, or by other available methods, then restart the camera
