In which case, what is stopping you using the camera web GUI to do firmware updates?The cameras are not bricked.
Or are these Chinese cameras that you want to convert to EN?

Possibly to convert CN cameras running hacked firmware to EN so they can be fully updated with the stock EN firmware.I see other people who have working cameras and who use your method, why?
It depends what was done to the cameras. The method works OK and has been used extensively.The last time, many years ago,I wanted to update the cams and i bricked them.
There is no reason that It will work now !

Yes, updating a CN camera with stock EN firmware will brick it, unless the BrickfixV2 method is used to convert the camera to EN. After which updates can be applied normally.YOU said that the update will brick the camera !
As requested, what's the cameras full serial number and model number?
Ok, so thats certainly a CN camera.My model and serial number is DS-2CD2432F-IW 20150127CCCH502125217
I don't think it's a hacked firmware because i never updated it.
So, i have to convert my CN camera in EN camera. After i will be able to update the cam with the stock EN firmware.
If yes, can i do that with another method ?
The conversion requires that a couple of bytes in mtd6 be changed.Can i use another method to convert this cam in EN ?
if your camera is still loading and workingMy model and serial number is DS-2CD2432F-IW 20150127CCCH502125217

This documented BrickFix method can be used for brick recovery of R0 series cameras, and conversion to EN of CN cameras.This is the state i got it, is there anything that can be done or is it a lost case? Didn't seem to find any solution to reset the situation.
On the R0 series hardware - activating a PoE handshake and enabling the ethernet interface can take long enough that it clashes with the short time that is allowed for a tftp updater handshake to be attempted.only the camera and pc in same poe switch
Thx mate. I don't have a adaptor but i can try a poe injector if that would be faster.On the R0 series hardware - activating a PoE handshake and enabling the ethernet interface can take long enough that it clashes with the short time that is allowed for a tftp updater handshake to be attempted.
If you have one, maybe try a 12v adaptor to power the camera instead of the PoE switch, with the camera in a non-PoE port so that PoE power isn't featured.
