What Hikvision app exactly do you use? Searching on "Hikvision" gives me about a dozen apps in the play store.
They have their own appstore now it's not on the playstore i think the link is in the 101 if not check @alexdelprete's posts from the past few days he gave the link recently

That's what I thought it was. It happened to me a month ago and I wrote it here: after the last update, didn't receive notifications from my SAGE sensor, and i discovered that EZVIZ app got updated. Use another mobile app to reactivate the chime. That's why it didn't work in your case, you had my same issue.
In any case, now I upgraded to Hikvision fw and I'm using Hik-connect app. Download it from their appstore.

Not my experience. I have a transformer with 12/24v 40VA. With 12v it wasn't consistent, had strange issues with SAGE sensor and weird behavior. Since I switched to 24v I have zero issues.

I flashed the hikvision firmware and gave a reset (via BC and inside the config).
Adding via the QR code still doesn't work.
Added the DB1 via manual adding". This worked, i can see the camera feed.
But where can i find the settings of the doorbell? I noticed the hik-connect app is dated may 06 2020 so very recent. Hope they didn't remove that option from their app.

Changing parameters via the BC is my preferred way.
But the parameter to change the chime type isn't available in the BC. That's the whole point of using hik-connect or Guardian vision app. As other users pointed out in these apps this parameter should be available.

Either the upgrade didn't work, or you didn't reset correctly. I talked about it in the latest 2 weeks, also wrote a post with the procedure to correctly upgrade to hikvision fw and add it as a brand new camera. Read those posts.
After you add it correctly, via standard QR procedure etc., you should see this, then you click the 3 dots and you see the second screenshot.
The only thing I know that i dis not have to deletevde DB1 from th EZviz app to be able to add it to the GuardingVision app. So on my iphone both work at the same time.OK, i deleted the DB1 from the Ezviz app. and installed the hik-connect app. After adding the DB1 via the QR code it says "the device model is not supported".
I did the same with the Guardian vision app.. It says "Operation failed (102030)".
I'm getting annoyed by this.

when someone attempts to help you there is a like button at the bottom of every post, Hitting that button is how we show appreciation in a forum such as this.
The above statement is in no way meant as a Jab.
I'm simply pointing it out for those who may not know...

This is my experience upgrading the firmware from EZVIZ to Hikvision.
I followed Alexdelprete's recipe but with a different path:
1. Using Batch Configuration, I upgraded the firmware from EZVIZ to Hikvision. I did not reboot at this point.
2. I then click the Restore Default Configuration button to select "Restore Partial Configuration".
3. The EZVIZ DB reboots automatically and goes into configuration mode with the blue light flashing. The DB access point remained at EZVIZ_SerialNumber. So no need to change SSID.
4. I started the EZVIZ Android app and delete the existing EZVIZ firmware DB. I then click the add button to add a new DB. It found the Hikvision firmware EZVIZ DB and began the setup process. The doorbell chime type selection was there as part of the setup (but disappeared after the setup).
5. After I completed the setup, the DB is working as before but now I have onvif support.
The firmware upgrade process is super smooth and no surprises (except for the one below)
Only 1 small issue is that I now have the EZVIZ logo on the cam and no way to get rid of it.
Just sharing my 2 cents.

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the SSIDs. This made definatly a difference. Unfortunalty i did not succeed in adding the DB1in the hik-connect app.
As a last resort i added the DB1 back in the Ezviz app. During the adding process the question is ask what chime type is used. Behold; my chime works works again. Why this option is vanished as a the normal parameter is beyond me.
As a last effort i flashed back the Ezviz firmware and repeated the adding process.
Long story short and a few hours lost which i ever don't get back; the thing works again.
