Hi everyone,

This is my first post so apologies if not following the rules.

I decided to upgrade my Dahua DHI-NVR5432-16P-4KS2 to v4.0. I did it via ConfigTool and once the NVR rebooted it won't boot up.
It stuck on DAHUA 4 logo and after several seconds it reboots again. Think the upgrade didn't go very well.

This is the firmware I used: DH_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_NP_V4.000.0000000.1.R.20190809.bin
And this is the firmware I had before: 3.215.0000001.0

I tried using the RS232 connection but it wasn't showing anything on the console.
Anything else I could try before sending to the repair?

If this is by using the DB9 connector on the back panel, you will likely need to use either a null-modem cable to connect your RS232 interface, or swap pins 2 and 3 on the connection.
 
Hi,
Same problem after same update ....
The connection with the NVR via the serial cable is ok, i found lot of tuto for cam but no for NVR.
I download firmware : DH_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V3.216.0000006.0.R.20190223 and unzip, so i have this file : PartionTable.bin, flash.bin, install.lua, DH_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V3.216.0000006.0.R.20190223 - Copie.bin, but i think the NVR needs other file or other name with commande in console like this :

da=tftp u-boot.bin.img; flwrite
dr=tftp romfs-x.squashfs.img; flwrite
du=tftp user-x.squashfs.img; flwrite
dw=tftp web-x.squashfs.img; flwrite
dl=tftp logo-x.squashfs.img; flwrite
ds=tftp slave-x.squashfs.img; flwrite
dc=tftp custom-x.squashfs.img; flwrite
up=tftp update.img; flwrite
tk=tftp uImage; bootm
pm=tftp 575s_PMX.bin.img; flwrite
dx=tftp u-boot_slave.bin.img; flwrite

If i can help and work with someon on this ?

Regards

Hi alastairstevenson,

Could you please show us on how to fix this issue since a lot of members have this problem. Not all are tech savvy when coming to work with TFTP. Maybe you have a walkthrough or some upgrade files to give us?

Hi again Alexis,

I managed to connect the NVR via putty and managed to stop it from rebooting, thanks for that lead. But I cannot find the unziped files which you downloaded from Dahua. And regarding the TFTP server what tool did you use please ?

Thanks again Alexis
 
Hi,
Sorry for the delay :-(
Here you can find the name of the file ai downloaded from dahua : General_NVR5XXX-4KS2_MultiLang_V4.000.0000001.0.R.20190930, i m looking for on my pc :rolleyes:
I used "opentftpserverMT", but i thinks it should be working fine with any TFTP server.

I posted the link or the firmware as soon as find it.

Regards
 
Hi having the same problem myself, I can connect using putty ok and can also stop the output in the terminal seem to be having problems with the tftp server not connecting. what is your full ip set up on your pc? did you set any ip up in the nvr using the terminal? also did you run the reset command on the nvr before you started?
 
Here you can find the zip file i used for firmware 4.0.zip and the tftp server tftpserver.zip

Hi 2tone, Hi Alexis, Don't be sorry for your late reply.

2tone ----- I think I have found the flash files (.img) but before I start flashing I need to know what commands you used to flash the NVR.

Alexis ----- Are these files the ones we are looking for ? My NVR is NVR5216-16P-4KS2. Link to files below. Please note, I think I have found the gold mine with all the images and old firmware everyone is looking for :)


Copy and paste the above in your URL.

Waiting patiently for your reply guys :)

Thanks for your support

Hi Alexis,

You can attach files here when typing your message.

But I want to know what commands you use on putty and steps taken on TFTP server.
