Hello all, I just replaced a blown capacitor on an old DS-2CD2335-I and it powered right up and I re-activated it and successfully got to the admin page. In a complete lapse of judgement I flashed the wrong firmware onto it and now it sits repaired, yet bricked on my repair bench. I've attempted the brickfix procedure, but both the CN and EN files result in the same error in the Hikvision TFTP Server which is simply "Resend required." It never retries and never progresses past this point. I've tried multiple versions of the TFTP Server, but all provide the same error. The Python script option gave me the same error on Mac and PC so I'm not sure what's going on there.
Does anyone have a good recommendation on what I should try next? Before the bricking it was running V5.3.6 build 151221
Update: It appears it didn't brick. The camera is resetting to factory defaults when the power is unplugged so the IP went back to default and cam needed to activate again. Even with whatever is causing that issue (there is no reset button to be stuck in my case) I cannot TFTP any firmware to the camera. Really at a loss here.
Thank you!
