@peepeep

Is there a new cam v2 firmware in progress? If so, is ETA near or far? Thanks!

@WyzeJasonJ is this something we may know?

I think there is one in progress but I would not have an ETA, plus at this point, it is mainly me guessing. I will look into it though and see if one is being actively worked on.

Thanks, Jason.

WYZEC2 is fully bricked, Constant yellow light. Nothing low level worked to reset it.

1. I pulled and saw that the micro-SD card was “unreadable” on my mac.
2. Formatted the SD card in exFAT (per https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360029728632-MicroSD-and-Continuous-Recording)
3. Downloaded the latest firmware file: demo_4.9.9.1851.bin.zip
4. Unzipped and loaded the firmware onto the formatted SD card
   (NOTE: it still had the zip folder icon though)
5. Inserted the SD card,
6. Power-cycled with the reset button held >30 sec several times.
7. Camera is still stuck on the solid yellow light.
8. What next please?

Looks like you’re in this ballpark:

V2 solid yellow light, how to fix

Wyze camera v2 has solid yellow light on, Tried to factory reset same thing. Tried manually re-flashing firmware, even tried oldest available Loaded so card, held button during power on, blue came On, and same solid yellow Any idea’s on how to fix ?

A decent recap of folks’ efforts, but pretty much cold comfort, I’m afraid.

There’s a new v2 firmware in beta, but I don’t know if this issue is addressed:

Formatted the SD card in exFAT (per https://support.wyze.com/hc/en-us/articles/360029728632-MicroSD-and-Continuous-Recording )

While the cam does support recording to and reading from an SD Card formatted exFAT, this is only after it has a working copy of the firmware loaded.

Flashing firmware to your cam requires a FAT32 formatted SD Card. This is why the instructions for Flashing your Firmware suggests a 32GB SD Card since they come factory formatted FAT32.
