Help! I am at my wits end!
I purchased 7 cameras from a Chinese seller back in June of 2014, and all were working fine. Recently I upgraded the firmware on 6 out of 7 from 5.1.6_140412 to 5.2.0 from this forum https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/1078-Firmware-5-2-0-in-English
All worked smashingly until I got to the only camera I REALLY wanted to upgrade, which was the DS-2CD2532F-IWS - unfortunately it didn't work out and it's stuck in the CCRR mode. After reading through a number of forums, I have been trying to update via the TFTP and have tried the same 5.2.0 firmware, I have tried the 5.1.6 fw from whoslooking's signature, and I've tried the 5.1.2 from the European FTP site.
All updates work via TFTP, but right after I get the success notification, I can no longer ping it and now it's not even showing up on SADP. It's an older camera and, to my knowledge, never had higher than 5.1.x so I'm not too sure if I should try to upgrade to 5.3.0 CN and then do the downgrade? I can't seem to find a link to the 5.3 CN fw either....
I have tried to reach out to the seller to get the original firmware, but the store is no longer around so my hopes are dim on that angle.
Any suggestions on next steps would be welcome!
