I made the change to the string that bellusvita posted and it worked fine on both my cameras, figured what the hell I know how to bring em back from the dead if it didn't work lol. So yes the string bellusvita posted for 5.1.6 does work. Lastly if you want 5.1.6 its up on the European website and works on american cameras as well. I applied to 2 chinese cameras and 4 american with no issues, obviously you'll need to tftp to the chinese cameras.
 
When a new version of the firmware is loaded via TFTP, does it reset the camera to factory defaults? In particular, does the camera come up with the default network settings and admin password?

I believe on mine it did, but that's easy enough to fix, I just had to check the DHCP box again after rebooting it from the update. as for the admin password I use default on mine anyways so couldn't tell you on that part.

You have to use the directions in the first post to get English back, however the hex value changed slightly in 5.1.6, Bellavitus posted the new value about 10 posts back from this one.

Or you can use chrome browser and let it translate the page for you, that works quite well as well.

You don't have to use a patch, you just have to follow the directions of this thread with the new value that Bellavitus provided, I did it last night, quite easy, takes 10 minutes.

The new value you have to change in 5.1.6 is 8a 30 dd e5 38 a0 9d e5,

You'll change it to the be 8a 30 dd e5 01 a0 a0 e3

That's it and you have english menus and english day of the week in OSD.
