Hi
Yesterday I just bricked my Hikvision DS7808N-K2/8P ☹. My nvr is china version.
I take NVR_K51_BL_ML_STD_V3.4.107_190927_new! Firm and with hiktools05R1 I change from 1 to 2 the language. o_O:oops::oops: After that i upgrade the nvr and after that the end!!!
Boot and continues beep and restart.. so stupid!!!

I try with Hikvision TFFP server but nothing!!.. I can connect, it transmit the digicap.dav file ( NVR_K51_QD_CN_STD_V3.4.106_190702 ) but never finished. And it loop again and again to transmit the file.
I already try with putty and serial cable but still nothing.. puuty never connect!!!

:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Any idea????

edit 1:

edit 2:
I just buy a PL2303HX - USB TO RS232 SERIAL - TTL UART ADAPTER MODULE I will receive at Tuesday..

The firmware file is greater than the 32MB size limit of the Hikvision tftp updater.
The scottlamb Python clone does not have that limitation.

It needs to be USB to TTL serial, not RS232.

The update will work OK with the serial console.
But the menus will be in Chinese.

That only changes the language in the header of the firmware - not the firmware itself.

Well done for getting there.
Presumably the menus are now in Chinese.
You might find it useful to use the Hikvision Batch Configuration Tool to do the configuration.

i think that the cn nvr is compatible only with cn programs but I do it by browser with translate this page.
