I have read all through the forums and there is snippets of info here and there, but alot of things seem unresolved. Here is my scenario:
- DS-2CD2532-IS Camera. Sticker says Firmware 5.2.8_141231 and manufacturer date of 01/2015.
- Camera was previously MTD Region changed running 5.2.5_141201. working fine
- I tried to add 4 region ROI by changing out the davinci.tar.gz for CN Cameras. (Which I think was my mistake as my cameras are now EN?) I made the change to the /dav/initrun.sh file as well.
- Camera would not boot properly so I TFTP recovered the camera with the 4 Region ROI digicap.dav. This worked but it was all in Chinese.
- I re-applied the MTD Region change and rebooted. NO Dice.
Now, I have tried all manner of firmwares and I just get a boot loop except with 5.3.0 which dumps me into the MINsystem thing in SADP.
- tftps seem to work fine.
- I can telnet in after tftp
- If I dump the logs I get the "Initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed archive.
- Unfortunately I do not have a backup of my mtd files. I did dump mtd5 and mtd6 and adjust them back to chinese by changing the flags from 01 to 02. Im still not exactly sure how or if I need to do something with Checksums. I do recall not having to dela with them when I region changed this camera in the first place.
Any suggestions as to what to try next would be helpful and appreciated.
Thanks!
