The brickfixv2 /dav/fixup.sh script extracts it for you, then you modify the contents ready for it to put the modded version back for you.
When you have modified the extracted mtd6 file - the /dav/fixup.sh script will apply it for you.
Suggestion:
Re-read the step-by-step guide.

Well done, it does sound like you're getting near the end of this particular journey!This is working for the China Cameras very well and allows me to finally get the Hikvision page open and make camera setting changes.
Completed Hikvision Updates - 5 Hikvision Cameras with all performing perfectly. Thank you Alastairstevenson for your help and quick response on this thread posting. I very much appreciate the use of the forum as well for having all this resourceful information available. You all making life a little more easier.Well done, it does sound like you're getting near the end of this particular journey!
Annoying and frustrating it may be on the way, but it's good to get to that successful end-point.
Hey Jordan , watch this video. Password never showed when I updated mine. I don't think it matters also during this update process.Im sure that it used to show previously.
When hitting return, an incorrect password message appears.
Excellent! Well done, another good result.First post and another success! I upgraded 3 DS-2CD2132-I cameras using the tools/scripts.
It doesn't matter what the 'running' IP address is set to.I do have one question...Does anyone know if the Camera MUST have a 192.0.0.X address before attempting the upgrade? I had set mine to DHCP previously, and set static IP's in the router (I run a different subnet on my network).
I spent the time to change each of them back to 192.0.0.64 before upgrade but wondered if it was necessary.
Yes, SADP is certainly a must-have tool for Hikvision devices.Also..I had an "oh crap" moment after the upgrade when I couldn't ping the camera on 192.0.0.64. I think the step by step could mention that the 5.4.5 firmware changes the default IP to 192.168.1.64. Luckily SADP told me the new IP...
You are welcome - glad you got to that good result you were looking for.a colleague who has worked on the guide
The error is :I don't even see an error in there that I can fix.

If not, it may explain the symptoms.I've sent brickfixv2 renamed via tftpserv. Everything worked fine.
Switched to telnet and started the session and all worked fine.
I ended up just starting fresh. The only thing I changed in my process (which I didn't even notice I did not do the first time) was extracting brickfixv2 files. Apparently, the first round through, I only copied out the file. This was most certainly my problem.And if that doesn't work, re-install brickfixv2 via the Hikvision tftp updater and start again.
