Hikvision upgrade firmware to 5.3.0

And did it work for you? Camera is bricked after upgrading?
Of course you can post, that firmware might be helpful if works.
Please attach it to try.

Not sure if this helps but I was given this from a chinese vendor to upgrade my "multi language" 5.2.5 DS-2CD2032-I

I am not sure if I am allowed to post it here?

Here it is. I have not tried it though so don't know if it works. Hmmm...every time I try uploading it is corrupted. I changed the name, tried wrapping it in a zip and always end of archive error.

You could open it in a hex editor (HxD) and see if it matches the known problematic released 3.5.0 instead of flashing it first to find out.


BTW the file is corrupt - unexpected end of archive, also towards the end of downloading it stops @ 96% and has to be resumed but is corrupt.

xnaron you'll have have to post your file link as the site won't let me upload anything that can be downloaded intact, sorry.



Ok xnaron's firmware file is different to the one on Hikvision's DL site (Baseline Firmware_IPC_2XX2 series_En_V5.3.0 150327), who wants to flash it :)

I get unexpected end of archive when I try downloading your upload as well....weird. Here is a link...I will leave it up for a week or so.

I have not tried it. Just passing it on from the chinese ebay vendor. Someone who knows more about it than I do should confirm if it is ok. So I don't recommend anyone try it till one of the guru's comments on it.

Yeah I removed it, sites not letting any downloads complete for some reason, see my post before yours.

I'll repeat that your firmware is different to the one on HikVisions site.

Have you tried upgrading? I'll be at home tomorrow so I couldn't try yet.

If it is not bricking, that's fine as long as the language flag is english on the cams mtd5 and mtd6. The question is if it bricks the cam like the eu firmware or not. If not, we will win.

I can't wait to see it but unfortunately I am only able to try tomorrow.

So far as I've experienced every "chinese only" firmware had english language as well. If the cam's lang flag is english in the mtd-s then it will pop into english. But let's see tomorrow when I can test. I hope it will be the same situation in this firmware as before.

If you change the flag of the region you will get a message about the mismatch in the web interface
the freebie has ended
 
By the way, it's not bricked.

Hopefully this can be solved soon.

Update: Avoided the language mismatch message, by doing the lang flag change after the upgrade, but in this case it's bricking like before.

Post the link via dropbox, I'll flash it as I have a bench test camera, that just never bricks lol

Update: Still failed to update, tried to tftp to 5.2.8 camera all Chinese not hack pure original and failed to update, looks like this firmware is for a build that came with 5.3.0 already installed on it.
Anyone else had any luck?

I noticed this firmware is smaller in size, quite a few end blocks missing, maybe it only flashes relying on an original firmware version which is partially left behind to work with it, as you say it may need a specific firmware to be present before updating.
