Firmware not updating #13

Closed fivecoremedia closed 8 years ago

fivecoremedia commented 8 years ago

I will start by saying this could be user error but I have not been successful in my attempts to install the firmware on my YI 4K action cam. It asks if I want to update firmware and then it does it, restarts and then asks the same question again. I've tried it with and without the config file on the microSD card.

I am on the latest firmware from YI. I've also got the blinking red light on top of the camera a few times while trying to update the firmware with the SDK. Could someone point me in the right direction. My ultimate goal is to set them all up a WIFI clients to do a VR 360 rig.

Figured it out. I had to go back to factory firmware 1.1.0 then update the YIOpenAPI firmware on the camera. Hope this helps anyone else that was in this situation. I had started with firmware 1.2.3 on the camera and it had trouble going backward.
