R0 / DS-2CD2x32 BrickfixV2 brick recovery and full upgrade tool - enhanced.

Thank you alastair, another successful DS-2CD2432F-IW upgrade to 5.4.5, straight from FW 4.0.8. Camera was locked in at 5.2.5, and any attempt to update FW would default it back to some FW 4.0.8 or something something, 5.3.0 downgrader would get it back to 5.2.5. I bought the cam on Amazon for around a buck and I suspected it was a Chinese hack job. Sho nuff it was, language was at 2, FF block wasn't set properly, you know the spiel. Your resource .zip along with the detailed instructions and pics worked flawlessly. I had almost given up on updating this cam, until of course, I came across this thread. So cool of you to share your wealth of knowledge. Very much appreciated.

Hey, well done!
A classic bricked camera, unbricked and fully updated. Excellent.

Always good when you get a result like that. I know the feeling ...

But can you write me step by step how i can do it on DS-2CD2032 ?

And it is also can use on came which some people write thta Hikvision from china is a clone and it is not original. I also can use it on this camera ?
How did you manage with the DS-2CD2032? Is it converted and updated OK?
 
It is connected to my NVR. And when I hack camera I also want hack NVR to also can update firmware.

When hack camera then I can update firmware by webgui ?
 
But by GUI? And when ne FW will be release ex 5.4.6 also can update by webgui?


Tell me is any chance to also hack China multilang NVR to can be update to new FW? Now can not update...
 
Hi

Newbie here looking for some help to change a DS-IPC-T12H-1, firmware V5.5.6_108503, from Chinese to English.


I can see the camera on the NVR due to a language mismatch error. I have the camera connected directly to my laptop lan port using Cat5 and powering through the plug adapter; no I don’t have a PoE switch. Via SADP I can see the device IP and mac address but the Admin password 12345 does not work nor does the serial on teh box (also on the camera itself). I have DL the 5.5.61_180718 firmware and used the tool at the start of this thread to no avail. HELP!


I can’t ping the IP as it times out. I have confirmed, via the mac address and arp -a, that the IP address is correct. I am doing something wrong but have no idea where to from here. I have tried to putty in but that too just times out due to network connection error (re the IP not responding I suspect). Be kind but what is it I am missing here?

Cheers

Jacko
 
Admin 12345 ;)
Show screenshot from SADP with version. Possible ipc not active or....
Tools is not for this ipc ;)
Share this chinese firmware.
ONVIF or Custom settinng at NVR tryed?
 
I successfully updated my DS-2CD2135F-IS with brickfixv2CN.dav (EN didn't work). But now i can't telnet it - timeout. I can't ping it too. And I can't update it again - process stops on "Device [192.0.0.64] test tstpserver",client doesn't start to connect.
what should i do next?

Thanks for the reply. SADP shot below:

In addition to the screen shot are the following fields showing in SADP:

DSP Version: V7.3 build 180326

IPv6 Length: 64

Support IPv6: Yes

IPV6 Modifiable: Yes

Support DHCP: Yes

IPv4 DHCP Support: Off

Support HiK-Connect: Yes

HiK-Connect Status: On

NVR:
HiK connect results in language mismatch error
ONVIF connection results in unknown error (that is what it says)

Not sure what your comment re the password means as 12345 does not work either.
Cheers

I successfully updated my DS-2CD2135F-IS with brickfixv2CN.dav (EN didn't work).
That firmware should have been rejected by the DS-2CD2135F-IS
The brickfixV2 firmware is specifically for R0 cameras - yours is G0 or G1
The Hikvision tftp updater showed 'System update completed' ?
And I can't update it again - process stops on "Device [192.0.0.64] test tstpserver",client doesn't start to connect.
You will need to place a digicap.dav for a DS-2CD2135 in the folder that the tftp updater is in.
Maybe from here - DOWNLOAD PORTAL - but it depends on the exact model of the camera.

Oh, ok. That model should certainly work ok.
How are you powering the camera? Best with 12v, not PoE.
And how are you connecting the camera?
Best with PC and camera each connected to a switch or router, not directly connected.

I'm working with PoE, just because i have no 12v adapter. PC and cam connected to a switch. I'm searching for 12v adapter, it is last idea that I have right now(( but why it can be, first installation was completed thru PoE, but after that installation does not start thru the same PoE port?
 
There have been some posts where the tftp updater did not connect on PoE but was ok on 12v.
What might also be worth trying would be the GitHub python implementation. The timings may work differently. A Google search should find it.
