That's a shame. Permanent would have been so much nicer.....
Hello
someone managed to unlock firmware 2.8.0?
I own a Flir E6 and it would be nice, to also have the 320x240 Resolution. I managed to downgrade to 2.3.0 but now, i dont have the matching conf.cfc Delta-File. I didn't read all the 499 pages. So, did someone had success with an Flir E6?
Hi,
I did not like the resolution of my E4->E8 device.
I returned it after reversing it back to the original E4.
Now I got a therm-app. Much nicer!!!! Higher resolution, better germanium lens than an E8 (hacked E4) and that for the price of a E4.
Have a look at

Downgrade? Did the unit have 2.8.0? Yes E6 has been done.
Yes, i downgraded it with the official 2.3.0 Firmware files and the included manual. Before, it was 2.8.0. Menu hack is working, But for the res-hack i need the E6 specific diff of the config file.
matmoe ? Where you can download the 2.3.0 firmware downgrade E4?
Thank you
The Filename is "flir_ex_pn639_v2.3.0_update_pack.zip" and i think, i downloaded it with the Flir Tools Software. I used it to downgrade my E6, so i dont know if its working with all Ex based cameras (Manaul says: This Notice to customer applies to FLIR Ex series cameras (S/N prefix: 639).).
I've uploaded it. Here is the download link:

1 Manually updating FLIR Ex series cameras
1.1 Applicability
This Notice to customer applies to FLIR Ex series cameras (S/N prefix: 639).
1.2 Introduction
FLIR Ex series cameras can be manually updated by loading a special configuration file (*.fif) using FLIR Tools.
1.3 Procedure
Note Make sure that the battery is fully charged before following this procedure.
Follow this procedure:
1. Install FLIR Tools on your computer. FLIR Tools can be downloaded from http://support.flir.com/tools.
2. Start the camera.
3. Connect the camera to the computer using a USB cable.
4. On the Help menu in FLIR Tools, click Check for updates. This displays a dialog box.
5. Press SHIFT+CTRL+ALTand click anywhere inside the framed area in the screenshot below. This displays a Windows Explorer pane.
6. In the Windows Explorer pane, go to the unzipped folder on Desktop.
7. In the folder, select the *.fif file.
8. In the same folder, select the eFLIRInstall.exe file.
9. Click Update.
10. Disconnect the camera when asked to do so.
This starts the update process. The installation progress is displayed on the camera screen.
If you use it for downgrading, its on your own risk:
DONT BLAME ME IF IT BRICKS YOUR CAMERA!I thought, if its from the manufacturer, it should eather be working or doesn't allow downgrading. And it worked.....
2.3.0 downgrade comes upload file * .fif using FLIRInstallNet.exe ?

Guys, be careful with downgrade your new 2.8.0 camera with 2.3.0 firmware.
I bricked two of my E4 trying to reflash them from 2.8.0 to 2.3.0 ;( One of them - black screen, no reaction to power button, and the other one hangs with FLIR logo.
47MHz - Thanks for the warning. The problem arose when the downgrade, or when applying the hack? Let us know if you corrected it.
Ups ...
Send to flir service
Besides, I think it's a very stupid idea to install the old version of "forced"

I was trying to downgrade the firmware from 2.8 to 2.3 and this is the result
Hello

No ones even manged to make a backup of it available so that anyone who is interested would be able to attempt to try.
Can someone create or send me the needed "conf.cfc.delta.e6" File?
Here's the delta for 2.3.0 E6:
conf.cfc.delta.e6:
[(1068, '\x02\x04'), (1116, '\x03\x06'), (5443, '\x04\x05')]
Unfortunately it has the same size as the e5 config file, so my script can't auto-detect. Easiest is to just take the v0.4 hack, and overwrite conf.cfc.delta.e5 with the e6 delta.
Do it on your own risk!
47MHz, let me know if you can't send the bricked one back to service.
Goddamnit, you mean THE VERY WEEK I decided to finally buy an E4 we get notice that Flir have released a new firmware?!
I'm sure we'll get this one hacked in due time too but the timing makes me sad. Maybe my unit will be older stock with 2.3.0 on it... -crosses fingers-

What's the process for making a backup? I'm happy to do this when my camera rocks up, if it has 2.8.0.
Does someone know how to dump the kernel (and not just the filesystem)?
My WinCE experience is pretty limited.
"Sadly" now i'm on 2.3.0. Maybe its working with telnet an some oldschool file-edit/print/cat/copy commands. Does WinCE have autostart or something like autoexec.bat. It might be helping, copying the files before they will be locked.

Last time I checked (2 years ago...) you could unpack the update and extract the files.
I wasn't able to find an update to 2.8.0. All we have are devices with that firmware on it.
So THIS is really crazy! Its working!!!

!! THANK YOU ALL !!
Resolution Hack to 320x240 and Advanced Menu
After reading several hunderts of postings and help from some members its working
![Wink ;)](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
Did it with the common_dll.dll patch with the E4HACK-2 v0.4 and then decrypted the conf.cfc, edited all the settings (conf_contents_requirements_fix.txt helped a lot!!) fixed CRC-Checksum with crc03.exe an encrypted it again. Did some further changes on the menu structure and BAM it worked! thank you ALL very much!!
I just received my unit (ordered from
TRIO Test & Measurement in Adelaide) and it has a cal date of Sept 3, came with 2.3.0 on and hardware 1.2L (i will apply the hacks once it's charged a bit)
The first mention of 2.8.0 came with a cal date of Nov 20th, so somewhere between those two dates is when the revision hit.
Help - Flir tools updating the tools I will not open images stored on a PC or downloaded from the camera. Buzz writes folder does not contain any files.You do not take the problem?
