DaHua NVR5216-16P-4KS2 firmware upgrade questions.

Well, this is a thread I started in April 2020, but I am totally confused all over again. I have the NVR5216-16P-4KS2 (not the E, I think the E came out about 3 minutes after receiving my 4KS2). Again, looking through available firmware versions, there is one that is compatible with NVR5216-16P-4KS2E (but no 4KS2) and NVR5216-8P-4KS2 but not 16P), and another version compatible with NVR5216-4KS2 (but no 16P). What the heck? I seem to remember this happening the last time I looked, so I used the one that was closest (the one that had the 8P-4KS2), but I'm not sure about that. Is there one of them I can use??

If it helps, I'm currently running V4.001.0000000.1, Build Date: 2020-03-19

FWIW, I am not having any major issues and don't really NEED to update, but 1) I just like staying up to date, and 2) occasionally the video timestamps get all messed up.

Try this one. But your NVR is 2017, So i am not very sure if your NVR is V2 or V1.
Attention: Please be very careful before you update it, or else will kill the NVR.
Will this firmware work on a NVR5216-16P-4KS2E with a build date of 2018-11-02? Attached is the version screen and is it still available for download? I clicked the link but it's no longer available from the destination

I found the following
It does list the NVR I have - any thoughts?

EDIT: for some reason the link does not work from the forum. Attached is a screen shot of the page

So it looks like DH_NVR5XXX_4KS2_MultiLang_V4.002.0000000.8.R.241030.bin is the last firmware update
I have been looking through the DaHua website and I found this one you mention. But the release notes state it supports

NVR5216-16P-4KS2E.


I've got half a mind to try it anyway, (make that a quarter of a mind since I have already lost half of it), but if it fails I could possibly be looking at a bricked NVR.
 
Update successfully done in three stages 4.000, then 4.001 and finally 4.002

My NVR is the 4KS2E. Some have been successful. It is recommended to update in steps instead of one giant leap. I did three steps to upgrade to the latest firmware
