I think you'll find this is terminal! Look back at my past thread where I did the same thing...ended up selling it for parts on eBay.

Thanks again for the help. Any version less than 5.4 fails to load each and every time with the following error message:- [UPG][RT_ERROR][ext/sys_firm_version.c][firm_version_upgrade][628]:[UPG_ASSERT] (unsigned int)(iFirmVers) >= (iDevsVers & pVerInfo->iMask) fail to eRetVal -1=0xffffffff! [...

@Enabler would you be willing to share your 5.4 downgrade tool with me. I've got a very bricked DS-2CD2032F cam that was upgraded to 5.4.5 and it is now very very upset. The thread is here I've bricked my DS-2CD2032F-I :-( and I'm on the verge of binning the cam, but if there is even the...

Thanks for looking, I must admit I am wondering if because I jumped from 5.3 (possibily 5.2) straight to 5.4.5 this has caused an irreversible error! I can't downgrade from 5.4 to 5.2 so am stuck in limbo! :-( I've just seen a post from @Enabler Unbricking DS-2CD2432F-IW help, no luck with...

Right, so all the bits and pieces arrived and I now have console access!! :) To recap, the *only* firmware that appears to write successfully and complete is 5.4.5_170123 with the lang = 2, all other attempts fail, even the 5.3 downgrade 1 and 4 line files! I am guessing there is something in...

The cabled plugs arrived, but no corresponding socket, which is a drag, not to worry. With judicious use of blu-tak holding the wires in place, I may have a solution :-) I now need to wait for the TTL/UART adapter to arrive to test it all out, if you see a puff of black smoke on the horizon...

I bought it from Amazon, at the time a naive Hikvision customer, unaware that the grey market exists. Now for sure, you can say buyer-beware, but I bought this in good faith. Prior to the firmware upgrade I was not even aware firmware upgrades would cause a problem, I put faith in the...

Well, my opinions on Hikvision have just taken a huge step downwards, have just opened up the camera to discover that it doesn't even have the serial console connectors wired in!! FFS, talk about cheap-skates. Looking at this URL Manual: Create console/serial access to Hikvision DS-2CD2032F-I...

am pulling up a chair as I'll be joining this fun as soon as the parts for my serial connection arrive :-)

I can confirm there has definitely been no "MTD" hack on the cam. After the TFTP upgrade (without power-cycling the cam), I can neither telnet, SSH or FTP onto the cam, indeed it also stops responding to pings when the "Update complete" message appears. I have also tried that native Chinese...

I really want to resurrect this IP cam, but head is getting sore from constantly hitting walls! lol! OK, so the IP Cam never appears in SADP no matter what version of software I am using :-( I have just this second managed to get a TFTP update to complete successfully, but still can't get the...

I think my DS-2CD2032F-I is terminal, in a total moment of madness I applied the 5.4.5_170123 EN upgrade to my IP cam. And now it won't fully boot. The sticker on the back of the unit says it was running v5.3.0_150513, however I can't be 100% sure that was actually the running version. I have...

Hi guys, I have just taken delivery of an HikVision DS-2CD2032F-I running firmware 5.3. As others, I can't get the NAS storage to initialise. I have a 1TB ReayNAS that is presenting the total capacity to the HikVision. The storage configurator utility is barfing when I format the storage! So...
