Hi everyone,

I have an original **Wyze Cam OG, model WYZECGS / hardware WYZECGSA / internal model GW\_GC1** , currently stuck in a continuous boot loop.

What I have already tried:

- different USB cable
- different power adapter
- different outlet
- factory reset
- holding SETUP during power-on
- FAT32 microSD

The camera does not complete boot or say “Ready to connect.” The red LED pulses roughly every 6 seconds and restarts continuously.

What is interesting is that the camera still accesses the microSD card. During testing it created folders such as `Time_unknown_xx`, a dated folder, and even created an `.mp4` file, although the MP4 remained 0 bytes before the camera rebooted. So the device is clearly executing part of the firmware and mounting/writing to the SD card before crashing.

I also own a second identical Cam OG that works normally and is running firmware **1.0.98**.

I found the old July 2024 forum discussion where Wyze staff mentioned Cam OG firmware **1.0.83** and gave instructions for installing a `.bin` file from a FAT32 microSD card.

I am therefore looking for anyone who still has:

- the original **Cam OG 1.0.83 manual firmware `.bin`**
- any verified SD-installable firmware for **WYZECGS / GW\_GC1**
- possibly versions **1.0.84 or 1.0.98**
- the exact filename, file size, hash, attachment link, or archived download URL

I am **not** looking for firmware for Cam v2/v3/v4, Pan, or the newer 2025 Cam OG revision. I am also not looking for a raw 16 MB flash dump.

If anyone here received the 1.0.83 file from Wyze staff in 2024, or still has a copy, I would really appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

Mine was upgraded remotely by wyze back then, but hopefully someone here may still have the file.
