Hikvision FIRMWARE TOOLS - change language, extract files and create own firmware

[alastairstevenson]

It seems to be a Chinese model of NVR - is it definitely 7108NI or is it 7108N ?
The firmware from here may work OK with it, 6th one down, but you will be back to Chinese menus : http://www1.hikvision.com/cn/download_more_699.html#prettyPhoto
You will need to try the Hikvision tftp updater as the NVR is in a bootloop.
The updater and instructions are contained in the link at the first post here: https://www.ipcamtalk.com/showthread.php/4036-Custom-Firmware-Downgrader-5-3-0-Chinese-to-5-2-5-English

Hi
i have a Chinese DD-2DF284 currently with 5.2 firmware

on reading the thread it looks like 5.3 firmware has a RSA signing
key for the firmware? should i avoid it and look for a 5.2 english firmware? if so where?
i have downloaded a 5.3 firmware file could not find anything earlier

if my understanding of the hktool is correct i should download a english version
of the firmware change the lang flag to chinese and upload to the camera with tftp using hikvisons tool set?

i have looked at the camera file system via ssh -- i see two copy's of the firmware in /dav0 and /dav1 the file name
is firmware.tar.gz from looking at the profile it appears that is decompressed and mounted at boot -- is the digicap.dav
a patch file for firmware.tar.gz or is it the whole file?

thank you
rob

You mean PTZ 2DF 5284? 2DF is a different firmware than 2CD or 2DE Value series. Dont upgrade it or you will loose SSH access. In 5.3.0 there is a trick to overcome PSH but later this hole was fixed. If you dont need to update - dont do it.

I removed the hard disk from my NVR and still the same issue and i tried one hard Disk from my laptop but always the same issue , and when i tried to put back the hard disk to my laptop i got error message ( PXE E61 : media test failure, check cable) i roload the defaut setting to my BIOS problem solved on my laptop........


Is there any way similar maybe to be performed in my NVR....

 

[rrk]

Probably because no-one has any more suggestions for what is an unfamiliar Chinese NVR.

Have you tried this ML firmware? Maybe with changing the firmware language to 2 with Hiktools.

I tried and the same result ,NVR Keep rebooting each minutes .... even when i tried through the TV its stop in embded NVR pic

 

[Defender666]

Which means the NVR refuses the EU Firmware. Rebooting and beeping is sign it refuses. Restore with Chinese firmware only.

which Chinese firmware i need to use ?

That's the only CN firmware that seems to be published for your model.

hi i have ds-7116n-sn-p china what firmware to english and what idea

 

[notchy]

Hi,

I hope someone can assist me. I have read through the threads but have not found the answer. Can i use the firmware 5.1.6 in this thread on page 13 and use the web gui to apply the firmware?

I get the "language mismatch" error when I attempted

Will the same occur if I do it the tftp way?

The serial # I have is CCRR (does this mean chinese version?)

I have 3 cameras to upgrade :

Model DS-2CD2032-I


Serial No. DS-2CD2032-I0120130704CCRR4262053

Firmware Version V5.0.0 130412


Encoding Version V4.0 build 130411

does anyone know where i can get a Chinese firmware package for a DS-2DF7284-A -- it had ver. 5.2 and is bricked
hopefully some thing other than 5.3
thank you rob
