tftp firmware upgrade stuck on "Completed file transmit"

[p3k074]

Hello,

Several times I have successfully used the Trendnet camera rescue methods by uploading the firmware via tftp in the same way as for Hikvision cameras.
The cameras started working Most Trendnet camera is same as Hikvision just diffrent branding and cover i think






Unfortunately, the first time I have a problem with completing the update so that the camera starts.

The model is TV-IP316PI and unfortunately every time the process ends with "Completed file transmit" without last step "Device system update completed!"



At this point, the camera disconnects (you can see it after the ping command) and the process does not end.

There are two red LEDs on the camera.

After it the camera turn on but cant find it on network.

I tried all firmware versions available for this model:

downloads.trendnet.com - /TV-IP316PI/firmware/

unfortunately the result is the same every time.

It would be great to save it so that it works On the housing next to the SD slot there is a connector (probably technical UART) but I can't find anywhere a list of which pins have what markings




Has anyone encountered this problem in Hikvision models and managed to fix it somehow?

I'd expect the pinouts to be as per this example :

Hikvision NVR DS-7804N-E1/4P Bricked

Hello, i have NVR DS-7804N-E1/4P bricked when i flash wrong firmware DS-7604NI for it. So now it only boot to Logo then bip bip and auto restart. I tried flash TFTP very many time by set IP of my PC to 192.0.0.128 / subnet 255.255.255.0 and turn firewall is off. But no thing flashable although i...

To connect to the serial console you'd need :
A serial TTL to USB convertor, such as a PL2303TA-based device.
A 4-pin 1.5mm ZH JST connector, usually sold in 10-packs.

Hi,

as alastairstevenson wrote You can use console pinout from Hikvision and it's working (can confirm in 100% based on my expierence with Trendnet cams)
Then You will get access to console and will see what happening on camera after FW download.
From console You can also download firmware (like on Hikvision cameras).
You will see something about firmware mismatch or CRC error.
Probably someone before You put bad firmware file to camera and now You have to try install stock Trendnet fw or if it will fail, try install Hikvision fw from similar Hik cam.
