Hi I`m very exited to try your hack! trying to compile the SD card FW part using Windows 10 and GIT installed and the code gives me this error.

I will try later today to run this in VM Ubuntu

I was able to install Wget by installing Chocolatey and following this guide [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wm72ToyK34Q]

then got this issue

[Vendo232]

it is probably a NOGO in Windows, will switch to Linux

[gtxaspec]

I will add a prerequisites section, there are some utilities required before execution.

[Vendo232]

here is the log from Linux/Ubuntu it seems it went OK, when I put files on SD nothing happens. Should I put tmp_root folder on SD card?

[Vendo232]

these are the files in SD_ROOT

[Vendo232]

tried several SD card, cards I know work with V3 and nothing happens I`m on 4.36.0.228 wirh wyzehacks, telnet and HTTP stream hack installed

[gtxaspec]

I may not have been clear during the last update. turn camera off. insert memory card and then plug camera in. let me know

[Vendo232]

I may not have been clear during the last update. turn camera off. insert memory card and then plug camera in. let me know

Hello, that is what I have been doing, Copy files on SD Card, turn off V3, insert SD Card and turn on V3.

the cam does something but after ~5 min it goes back online . FW remains the same 4.36.0.228

No LED blinking occurs , in fact as I have LED turned off in WYZE app the LED remains off when I turn cam back on with the SD Card containing the files

If you could check the SD CARD content files above and confirm that they are what they should be, perhaps I`m missing some files.

[Vendo232]

one more suggestion. The compilation script is designed to pull latest FW for future. Could you perhaps create and share the SD_ROOT files now/today to avoid the compilation part?

[gtxaspec]

I will flash the same FW version you have and test and get back to you

[gtxaspec]

@Vendo232 just flashed the firmware you have, and git cloned the repo, and install works fine for me... tried on two different cameras...perhaps i could recommend re-flashing .228 firmware and trying again?

[Vendo232]

after you flashed the lower FW, did you install wyzehack using DNS spoofing?

[gtxaspec]

No I did not, as DNS spoofing is not required for this.

[Vendo232]

great! thank you, I will give it a try then

[Vendo232]

So you do not need telnet prior your hack? then the steps would be:

1. downgrade to 4.36.0.228
2. git clone your repo
3. in Linux OS run ./setup.sh compile
4. copy SD_ROOT content on SD Card
5. tun off V3 , insert the SD card and turn it ON.
6. wait for FW update until LED blinks rapidly
7. SSH to the V3

correct?

[gtxaspec]

right!

[Vendo232]

right!

my use case for this is to install the HTTP stream hack which allows me to use V3 in Frigate w/o any issue the RTSP FW is not working well.

it would help me a lot if you could try installing this http hack on the latest FW via SSH and see if the installation works.

once you SSH run:

`cd /configs

wget crb.users.sonic.net/current/install.sh

chmod +x install.sh

./install.sh

You should see msg “ Installed Successfully”`

https://github.com/FiveLeavesLeft/WyzeCameraLiveStream

it would be awesome if it works on latest FW and there is no risk that WYZE would shoot it down with another forced update

[gtxaspec]

I will test this for you shortly

[gtxaspec]

It does install, but @fiveleavesleft may have to do an update, as it looks like he based it off wyzehacks, and wz_mini_hacks currently doesn't work wyzehacks at the moment.

[Vendo232]

awesome! thank you the test, so you got this msg “Installed Successfully”?

[gtxaspec]

[root@WCV3_spare_test:configs]# ./install.sh

Stream hack installed.

[Vendo232]

do you need to hold SETUP button when you enter the SD card with the mini hacks to V3?

[gtxaspec]

No, at boot time the camera reads Test.tar and executes the scripts to initialize installation. Do you still have telnet access?

[Vendo232]

it WORKED!! Flashed .228 FW lost Telnet and Wyzehack and now I can SSH into the V3 with root access. GREAT JOB! demo_wcv3_4.36.0.228.bin.zip

Installed Stream Hack but unfortunately for me the stream hack installed but does not work :-(

[gtxaspec]

hopefully the streamhack will be updated soon!

[Vendo232]

just FYI, flashed the RTSP firmware 4.61.0.3 via standard SD card ( copied the demo_wcv3.bin on sd card ) left all your mini hack files on SD card. The FW was updated but SSH is gone

[gtxaspec]

right, when you reflash the firmware manually, you have to re-install mini hacks

[Vendo232]

I think some folks might appreciate having RTSP firmware + SSH root access. Not sure if that would be possible.

[gtxaspec]

to reinstall, rename Test.tar.old to Test.tar and install again

[Vendo232]

that worked, but it will force standard FW 4.36.8.32

here is the link for the latest RTSP Firmware , probably the setup.sh will require adjustment for RTSP branch https://download.wyzecam.com/firmware/rtsp/demo_v3_RTSP_4.61.0.1.zip

[Vendo232]

it is just for future, I will have to use RTSP FW for a while until I find time to do the Wyzehack + DNS spoofing to go back to working Stream Hack. Hope @FiveLeavesLeft will be still interested porting his hack on your mini hacks soon.

[gtxaspec]

ah, i forgot about the rtsp, i will make a new version that will let you select RTSP or not.

[FiveLeavesLeft]

I am watching this with much interest but I am really busy with other things and don't know if I will have time to update the stream hack. I did add it to my list of things to do and I think what is happening here is really cool and thanks for all the work.
