I read through many posts on how to recovery a Bricked Wyze Cam. Specifically V2. I have tried the following: Different firmware builds https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024852172 Different size SD cards (8 and 32) Different formats (exFAT vs FAT32) [Wyze Cam SD Card Format G…

So just to reiterate the steps… Download the appropriate file for your camera (each has a unique set of firmware files). Unzip the file you downloaded. Copy the file to a FAT32 formatted sd card and rename as appropriate for the camera. No larger than 32gb card. Depending on which firmware was …

I have even tried openip and reverting back to FIRMWARE_660R_F.BIN [image] GitHub - openipcamera/openipc-firmware: OpenIPC Firmware for Wyze Cameras OpenIPC Firmware for Wyze Cameras. Contribute to openipcamera/openipc-firmware development by creating an account on GitHub. …

[image] mtkapp277: Once downloaded, rename the file to demo.bin and then copy it to the root of the SD card. You have to extract the file from the downloaded zip…it isn’t the bin file. [image]

Also, by default, Windows hides filename extensions (one of the dumbest things they could have done IMHO). So if that is the case and you rename the file to demo.bin, it will really be demo.bin.bin - which will not work.

This is not happening for me. I always show file extensions.

Yes. I download the zip file. Then Extract. I have extracted to my PC as well as to the SD card directly. Then I have mostly renamed the file to demo.bin I use windows. not Mac. I don’t think this has been the problem for me.

So do I. One of the first things I change. Lots of people don’t know that however - hence the reason I mentioned it.

Make sure you don’t leave a folder called demo.bin there either. Frankly you are best off with the only thing on that SD card is the one file and nothing else. Just a comment, the V3 uses a different file name for reloading firmware.

I have mostly tried with only the “demo.bin” file being the only item on the SD card. I have also tried various alternatives that include a copy of the original firmware with the original name and a copy of that with the name changed to demo.bin. I have also tried using capital letters too.

I have even tried openip and reverting back to FIRMWARE_660R_F.BIN

Tried this other name as well: recovery_wcpv2.bin

I’ve tried other power adapters as well.
