During some firmware upgrades and MTD language hack, my cam is not able to accept any firmware anymore.
Can still upload firmware versions using TFTP but none successfull.
I was able to connect to the console port and have the original MTD5&6 files. But I have no idea how to put them back on the camera because the Min-System doesnt understand Linux commands.

Camera model: DS-2CD2032F-I

My problem is solved.
The problem was I had changed my languege to English using the MTD hack. That was working fine. After that, I upgraded to version 5.3.0. After that, camera was bricked. All China and European versions where not working, tryed all the tricks in this forum. No luck.
When I connected my cam to the console and tried to a China firmware, I saw somewhere the message 'language mismatch'.
So, I changed the firmware language via the HikTools (see link below) to English and tftp'ed that version and working!!!!

I hope this will help somebody else also with the same problem because nobody was able to give the golden tip and it cost me a lot of time to find out.

There is a sticky of on this Brick recovery for mtd hack, this is only for camera models 5.25 and 5.28 and below, which I take your camera is. As a camera with mtd hack on 5.20 will upgrade to 5.30 without issue.

Hi all!

I got same problem like snikinl. Thanks that topic I downgrade firmware back to chineese 5.2.5. But I can't change language. When I trying to modify language with hiktools (hiktools lang digicap.dav 1) but tftp never finishing update with "succesful" message. And camera becomes undiscoverable. The version of preinstalled multi-lang firmware is same as downgraded chineese (5.2.5 with same build date). What I did wrong?
