Hi Alastair,
Maybe temporarily disable the Windows firewall, see if that changes anything.
The Windows firewall is disabled.
It sounds like the camera isn't probing for the tftp updater.
The original 'brick-fix tool' and 'enhanced mtd hack' has proven pretty useful for those with R0 cameras that had been bricked by doing a firmware update.
It's been even more useful to deal with the fallout from the 'Hikvision backdoor' disclosure where so many people are finding their cameras are being messed with from the internet, mischievously or maliciously, and need to update to safer firmware.
However - the rather techy original method to make the changes, and probably my not-very-clear instructions have been a challenge for some people.
* And I only just noticed this - my original .txt attachments were in Linux format, not Windows format, making them hard to read without proper line breaks. And no-one let me know! Dohh! *
So here is 'Brick-fix tool V2' aimed at making the process less complex, a bit automated and easier to use, with the following changes:
- After Brick-fix toolV2 has been installed using the Hikvision tftp updater, following the power cycle to activate and drop the payload, the camera will boot directly into 'min-system' mode with telnet and tftp access and a 'fixup' script ready and primed for use.
- No web GUI access or Windows shares are needed to move files in and out of the camera.
- The fixup script handles all the basics of extracting the original mtdblock6, importing and applying the user-modified mtdblock6 that has had the 'enhanced mtd hack', and initiating a firmware update.
- The Brick-fix toolV2 automatically writes a valid template into mtdblock1 that stops cameras that originally had firmware 5.2.0 or 5.2.8 from otherwise going into a bricked state when newer firmware is applied.
- Attached to this post are the resources required to convert your R0 / DS-2CD2x32 cameras into full English upgradeable devices.
- The brick-fix tool V2 in both EN and CN header language versions (brick_fixv2.zip).
- A required resource list and step-by-step guide to the fixup script.
- A description of how to do the 'enhanced mtd hack' with screenshot with a list of devType codes for those cameras that have the masqueraded values.
- A sample transcript of the fixup script going through all 3 stages - extract mtdblocks, import modded mtdblock6, apply firmware update.

Resource List
Step By Step Guide:
- The Hikvision tftp updater tool and usage instructions, courtesy of @whoslooking - tftpserv
- A standard tftp server - tftpd32.452.zip at bottom of this thread.
- A telnet client. PuTTY is pretty good and widely used - Download: 64-Bit | 32-Bit
- The HxD hex editor - Downloads | mh-nexus
- Firmware files for R0 IP cameras - R0 series DS-2CD2x32x-Ixx IP camera firmware
- Hikvision's really useful SADP tool. This will find your Hikvision device on the LAN whatever it's IP address, allow 'activation', and change of IP address. - SADP Tool
Here are the steps to take when using the brick-fixV2 tool to recover a bricked camera, and running the fixup script to change the camera to English / upgradeable. The camera doesn't have to be bricked to run the brick-fix tool if all that's required is a helping hand doing the 'enhanced mtd hack'.
- Create a folder on the local drive of your Windows PC to hold the Hikvision tftp updater, the chosen tftp server program (e.g. jouinin.net version), the unzipped 'brick-fixV2' files, and the Hikvision firmware to use for updating. The HxD hex editor should be installed on the PC.
- With the PC and the camera each on a wired connection (not WiFi) set the PC IP address to 192.0.0.128, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 The default gateway does not matter.
- Make a copy of brickfixV2EN and name it as digicap.dav If the EN version does not work, e.g. "System update completed" is not displayed in step 5 or you don't get the login prompt when trying to telnet in step 8, try the CN version.
- Start the Hikvision tftp updater tftpserve.exe and if a Windows firewall popup appears, click OK to accept what the program needs.
- Power on the camera and observe the status messages in the tftp updater. Hopefully you will see 'System update completed' after 2 or 3 minutes.
- Close the Hikvision tftp updater, delete the digicap.dev file from step 3 and make a copy of the Hikvision firmware to use for updating and name it digicap.dav.
- Power down the camera. At this point the brickfixV2 tool has been installed but not yet activated. Power on the camera to activate the tool, it will then drop the payload, fix up mtdblock1 and reboot into min-system mode for telnet access.
- Using PuTTY, start a telnet session to 192.0.0.64 and make sure the telnet radio button is selected. At the login prompt username=root password=12345. You should see a # prompt. The message "can't chdir to home directory '/root/'" isn't an error and can be ignored.
- Start the normal tftp server (not the Hikvision tftp updater). If it's the jouinin.net version, the program is tftpd32.exe
At this point, Stage 1 of 3 is ready to be executed.
At the telnet command prompt, type:
/dav/fixup.sh
and watch the on-screen messages.
- On success with Stage 1, check the PC folder that the tftp server is running in for the presence of the file 'mtd6ro_orig'. You may have to hit F5 to refresh. Make a copy of mtd6ro_orig rename to mtd6ro_mod. Do the 'enhanced mtd hack' on it, using the instructions in the spoiler below.
[*]
- Extract a copy of mtdblock6 from the camera. The 'Brick-fixV2 tool / fixup script' will conveniently do this for you, or it could be done manually by other methods.
- Make a copy of the mtdblock6 file and name it mtd6ro_mod
- Open it with the HxD hex editor.
- Referring to this image
View attachment 24161- Check / change as needed the language byte at location 0x10 to ensure it is 01
- Check the devType value in locations 0x64 and 0x65
If the value shown is FF98 - then the FF value needs to be replaced with the true numeric value. Ideally the true value is determined from the 'devType' line from the prtHardInfo shell command, but as that is going to be unavailable on a bricked camera use this (partial) cross-reference list, paying careful attention to the exact model number.
There is some slight uncertainty here - it would be good if any forum members could confirm / supplement the content.

- Replace the FF in location 0x64 with the first 2 digits of the numeric devType value.
- If location 0x64 already has a 2-digit numeric value, no change is needed.
- Starting at location 0x09, drag to select and highlight a length of F4 bytes, as shown he the HxD bottom status bar.
Using the Analysis / Checksum menu, double-click Checksum-16 to calculate the new checksum. This will show as a 2 byte value in the Checksums tab at the bottom of the screen. These need to be applied using the correct 'endian-ness', which is the reverse of how the values are presented on the screen.
The left hand byte (0x0C in the screenshot) is the most significant byte and should be used in location 0x05
The right hand byte (0x5F in the screenshot) is the least significant byte and should be used in location 0x04
Use your own just-calculated values - not those from the screenshot.
Click File | Save and the mtd6ro_mod file has had the 'enhanced mtd hack' and is ready to be applied to the camera.
Esto se hace durante la Etapa 2 del script de reparación en la herramienta brick-fixV2.
¡Buena suerte!

[*]Suponiendo un resultado exitoso, apague el servidor tftp y apague y encienda la cámara. Curiosamente, en las pruebas encontré que un salto directo a la versión de firmware 5.4.5 funcionó bien. YMMV. Pero vale la pena intentarlo.
En este punto, la Etapa 2 de 3 está lista para ejecutarse.
En el símbolo del sistema de telnet, escriba:
/dav/fixup.sh
y observe los mensajes en pantalla.
Esto traerá el mtd6ro_mod modificado y lo aplicará a la cámara para convertirlo a inglés / actualizable.
En este punto, la Etapa 3 de 3 está lista para ejecutarse.
En el símbolo del sistema de telnet, escriba:
/dav/fixup.sh
y observe los mensajes en pantalla.
Esto intentará una actualización de firmware utilizando el archivo de firmware de Hikvision digicap.dav que colocó en la misma carpeta que el servidor tftp.
[*]Inicie SADP y verifique la presencia de la cámara ejecutando la versión de firmware utilizada para la actualización.
[*]Si usó el firmware 5.4.5, la cámara requerirá 'activación' con su elección de contraseña segura.
Si ya está activo, si se usó firmware anterior para la actualización, inicie sesión con la contraseña de administrador = 12345
Cambie la dirección IP a la que desea que use la cámara.Cómo actualizar
[/CITA]
- Cambie el nombre del firmware a digicap.dav
- Coloque el firmware en la misma carpeta de este TFTP
- Configure la IP de la computadora como 192.0.0.128
- La IP de la cámara puede ser cualquiera.
- Ejecute tftpserv.exe
- Apague y encienda el DVR / DVS / IPC. El dispositivo buscará el nuevo firmware y lo actualizará automáticamente.
- Espere hasta que TFTP muestre "¡Actualización del sistema del dispositivo [192.0.0.64] completada!" Tarda unos 5 minutos.
- Cierre el TFTP antes de que la cámara se reinicie.
- DVR / DVS / IPC se reiniciará automáticamente después de la actualización.
Buenos días,
