Is it possible to change camera's ID and part number? Is there a file in the software that is editable?

I believe some of that information is stored on the EEPROM. Depending on the version of firmware you have you may or may not be able to access it.
Just to clarify, your camera originally was an E6 with 2.8.0 but you successfully downgraded it to 2.3.0 and applied the res/menu hacks?
If i've gotten that right, could you detail exactly what steps you took to successfully downgrade and hack the camera? 47MHz mentioned last page that they'd tried downgrading and bricked two cameras, so there must be something different you did...
Puh exactly? I've tried so many stuff, i can only offer you that parts i still remember
I bought a Flir E6 1.2L With Serial 6396...... and Softwareversion 2.8.0
Flir Tools said, there is an update firmware available to 2.3.0, so i downloaded it. I didn't found the firmware version 2.8.0 to download. So it would be a bad idea to "update" from 2.8.0 to 2.3.0 without the option to upgrade back to 2.8.0.
Then i found this thread.... No risk no fun. 2.8.0 = no fun and when flir allows to start the installation of an older firmware, it should be working. I up/downgraded to 2.3.0 like i already described. Some long minuteslater, the camera is booting up an working - YEAH!
Then reading hunderts of postings and downloading the tools later, the Hack is working. WIN!
My Sept 3 camera has been successfully hacked, and I've already found a couple of things wrong insulation-wise with it
Hmm. Interesting. 47MHz said their E4s bricked when just running the 2.3.0 upgrade to downgrade them, so perhaps the E4 alone has had some changes made?
Perhaps they finally respun the E4 to use the lepton core - since it looks like the code to support it has be present in some way since the 2.3.0 update that may be it for upgrades. Would really be nice if some one with a E4 v2.8.0 would perhaps take some pictures of the lens area, or provide a backup of the file system so interested people can take a peek.
That's a shame if the E4 can't be hacked.
I'm sending mine back then. If I leave it any longer I will loose the option to return it.
Will try to source an E4 with 2.3.0 firmware.

Possible. Doesn't seem hugely likely since I'm not sure the Lepton can actually meet the E4's required performance, but possible. In which case I bought mine just in time!

If they haven't made any hardware changes, then it's almost certainly still hackable - but there're still a few pre-hacked units on eBay so I'd probably go down that route instead for now (if you're not interested in being a guinea pig)
The cat image he used in the presentation certainly comes from FLIR. It is used regularly in advertisements and, unedited, has the FLIR logo top left. I have seen it stated as from a FLIR One G1.
Someone tried to downgrade from 2.8.0 to 2.3.0 using FirTools
It offers "upgrade" to version 2.3.0.
What other cameras have better resolution than the e 8

There are lots of cameras with higher resolutions, but they are extremely expensive.

T1K series with a 1024x768 sensor would be a start...
A steal of a buy around 40K USD.
matmoe,
Do you know what version of the Flir Tools you had installed on your computer when you downgraded the firmware?
Thanks
Zoro and T-Eq are tried for 2.3.0 and failed. They both ship 2.8.0.
Thanks matmoe.
I have Flir E4 1.2L, firmware 2.8.0, S/N 6396xxxx, calibration Dec. 3 . When I check for updates, using the same Flir Tools v 5.3.15320.1002, it doesn't show the option to "update" to 2.3.0
. It just shows that it's the current version. If I would have seen that option, I might have try it as well, but I'm not comfortable to do a force "update" after I saw that there are people with bricked devices.
CT - Please can you copy files from the camera and give some of these guys who know what to do with them?
Hi All,
Just joined. I've been reading your posts for a few weeks now. I ordered an E4 from from T-eq on Nov-24, will get it tomorrow. I think I just missed the boat for the older firmware.
Anyways, if anyone wants me to post any pics of any hardware, plz let me know, cause if there's been a hardware change, I will probably just send it back.
Btw, the files that matmoe uploaded, there is a .fif file in it, it looks like a Zend or IonCube encoded php file, but don't take my word for it, could very well be something else. I didn't try to deZend it or anything though.
Also, 47Mhz,
could you give the steps that you took that got you bricked, this could help us from getting bricked.
> 2 anonyman,
I bet you will have 2.3.0
you are one of the luckiest man to take these few cameras in very last moment before they disappeared.
When you have it in your hands, please tell us if it is so.
Actually i'm pretty sure it will be the new firmware, because when i ordered, there was one in stock and then the next day I got an email saying that it has been delayed and then they ran out of stock.
I'm thinking the 2 weeks delay was because they have been manually updating the firmware's on each and every one of the new cameras they send out.
Anyways, will know tomorrow.
My main purpose of the camera is to find insulation and air leaks, as we are remodeling my house and there is one room which is colder then the rest of the house and I can't seem to find out where the cold is coming from, or there are so many cold spots, don't know where to start plugging them.
But if there has been a hardware change, I will just buy one off Ebay and send this one back. The new firmware I can live with as there will probably be a hack for it sooner or later.
Will post with the details tommorrow.
thanks all
Sofia,
I should be able to do that, if I find a way to save the files from the device.
Can anyone tell me where to buy an E4 from that will be suitable for upgrade to E8. I'm in the UK.
I think Santa wants me to have one.
Which OS you are running?
What is exact version number of FLIR Tools you used for the update?
