tonydi 0 Posted June 22, 2014 I've got a second Chinese version Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I and this one has V5.1.6 build 140412. I patched the davinci file on my first camera so it would properly initialize my CFS NAS. The davinci file from this camera has the same string so I modified the file. When I went to load it back onto the camera, I noticed the /dav folder had a file named davinci.tar.gz.patch.txt. Here's what that file has inside.... ======================== Cyclone Bit Xtra Patcher 0.0.7b ------------------------------- #WARNING - DO NOT ATTEMPT CAMERA MODIFICATION BY SIMPLY COPYING PATCHED FILES #YOU MAY BRICK YOUR CAMERA WITHOUT PATCHER EXECUTABLE!!! Detecting version ....done 5.1.6 Reading serial from mtd5 ....done Reading language flag from flash ....done Unprotecting flash memory ....done Patching dav ....done Enable _malloc() in kernel ksyms ....done Sanity check proc table ....done Enable languages in davinci ....done AES Decrypt start ...........................................................................................................................................................................................done Checking camera part table layout ....done (OK 0x00) Writing new checksum to flash ....done Watchdog disable ....done Reprotect flash ....done Deleting patcher from camera mtd ....done FINISHED!!!! Error code is: 0x00 Checksum: 97f9b1ad81ea4a7b8ed026487d569706 debug: 0x71977927a830 ============ I haven't seen this file mentioned previously in all of the discussions on patching davinci. Should I go ahead and upload the patched file to the camera, figuring this is just a CYA move on the part of Hikvision, or am I missing something here?

mroek 0 Posted June 22, 2014 That looks like the output from some third-party patching software, and it is definitely not something Hikvision has put in there. I'd wager a guess that it has been put on there by some Chinese supplier to convert/patch the camera to appear English. Whether uploading the patched davinci file to this camera will work or not, I can't say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonydi 0 Posted June 23, 2014 No denials so I'd say you've got a good theory, Ray. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayt 0 Posted June 23, 2014 No denials so I'd say you've got a good theory, Ray. the log is from his patching program, in case there are any errors, he would probably tell you to give him the log to figure out where it went wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catseyenu 0 Posted June 23, 2014 AliExpress purchase? Either they licensed it or stole it from CBX... Hopefully they have licensed it and now have CBX on board. That would be a win for the AliExpress buyers as well as the company. If it's stolen I'd refuse charges on my CC until they resolved it with CBX. /just sayin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonydi 0 Posted June 24, 2014 The vendor has confirmed that they patched the camera for English. Now, the only question is, has anyone patched this version for CIFS compatibility and not bricked it using the 5001D4C09DE50000000007005CE100000000 hex string to replace the stock 5001D4C09DE52C00001A07005CE12A00001A string?
