All my wyze cam 3 started saying offline yesterday when I checked they have a solid red light. I tried power cycle but that didn’t work. I am now trying to reset but thats not working either. Any suggestions?

I am facing the same issue with v3_init.sh missing

In the version I used it was the wz_init.sh file at /wz_mini/etc/init.d/wz_init.sh

How did you generate the list of nodes ? My guess is that you mounted the generated JFFS2 (part,dat) file first., How? By using Emac’s script? Then how did you get a list of overwritten .product_config files inodes? isdel or something?

I wonder where they got that idea. Sad state of affairs when consumers have to fix the devices themselves.

Quite a coincidence indeed that Wyze announced news firmware addressing bricking after customers posted a path to a bandaid fix in their forums… Lets not kid ourselves though as good as the provided fix is, it is really only a band-aid because it doesn’t address the root cause. That being said I am…
