I have a selection of pre-hacked (language=1) Chinese DS-2CD2032-I from AliExpress on 5.2.0, 5.2.3 & 5.2.5 (stickers say 5.2.8). I'm encountering some NTP sync issues on the 5.2.0 cameras, so would like to upgrade them. I assume that if I flash the firmware to 5.2.5/5.2.8 using TFTP, it will reset the language to Chinese, then I can apply the above hack? If so, which firmware would you recommend I try?

Sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere.

There is one choice at the moment, 5.2.5 then the mtd hack for full English.

What IP address can you telnet to the camera with?
If you have the original mtdblock5 & 6 and you can login as root with telnet, then you should be able to replace the changed mtdblocks something like this:
Replace the mtdblockN_orig with whatever you called the originals, assumed to be in the folder of your TFTP server.

First, save what you currently have.
cd /dav
cat /dev/mtdblock5 > save5
tftp -p -l save5 <IP address of your TFTP server>
rm save5
cat /dev/mtdblock6 > save6
tftp -p -l save6 <IP address of your TFTP server>
rm save6

Now copy back the originals.
tftp -g -r mtdblock5_orig <IP address of your TFTP server>
cat mtdblock5_orig > /dev/mtdblock5
rm mtdblock5_orig
tftp -g -r mtdblock6_orig <IP address of your TFTP server>
cat mtdblock6_orig > /dev/mtdblock6
rm mtdblock6_orig

Shut down the TFTP server.
reboot

And keep your fingers crossed.
Good luck.

When you changed the password on the camera, did you also change the password that the NVR has configured for the camera?
If not - it would keep trying to connect with the old, configured password, and lock out the camera.
If you change the camera password, you also need to change all places where that password is configured.
