Flir B335 converted to B425
Functions added: panorama, video recording, program mode, thermal fusion!

All credits goes to Mike! many many many many thanks!

- in camera settings set usb mode to network disk
- ftp to /FlashFS/system/gui.d/config.d/ (user: flir pwd: 3vlig)
- edit gui.cfg and replace all "false" with "true"
- put the correct CRC in the file and overwrite it in the camera
- shut down camera, remove battery, restart

Greetings from Italy

Hello I am a complete newbie when it comes to hacking, does anyone has more detailed info on how to upgrade a flirt b335 camera than the information given above??

Thank you

I'm actually working on updating my B400 to the B425, but I am currently stuck on how to generate the new CRC number. The B400 has a cfg file, as opposed to a cfc, so I'm not sure if there is a different process...

Worked it out! Had to go through so many posts on here, it was an utter mission to find it.

What you need to do is first go to here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/flir-e4-thermal-imaging-camera-teardown/msg321956/#msg321956

and download the e8hack3c.zip file and extract it to your desktop (easiest place to do it). The important file you need is the CRC01.exe as this will allow you to generate a new CRC01 number required for the modifications to work.

Rather than having to type out all of the instructions, is there any particular part people are getting stuck at?

Interesting... When I first started FlashIFS was there... Now its not... Trying to recreate it now...
Could be some corruption - might be worth renaming FlashIFS and creating a new one - renaming may be safer if contents are corrupt.

Remember FlashIFS will disappear when you connect with MSD, and will take a few secs to re-mount when USB is unplugged or USB mode changed

Quote

Got it recreated, no joy... Wondering what the contents of flashIFS are vs what you see when you MSD...

Mikesus , I was wondering how did you manage to have the partition up and running? Yesterday by mistake I formatted the internal E4 partition while it was connected through MSD, now I can see it over USB, mostly because of the type, but it won't get mounted as /FlashIFS back, I have already tried several types of partitions but none seams to work, so if you could explain what have you done back that time, I guess it may have so clue about how to fix it.

Best regards,

I made a guide on how to perform (and revert if needed) the resolution and menu hack on 2.3.0 E4 cameras

The guide is here: http://fubar.gr/hacking-the-flir-e4/

And here's a video demonstrating the hacked camera:

Hello,

I have a e4 with firmware 2.3. I am stuck at trying to login to FTP. I'm getting bad username/password. I've entered username: "flir" and password: "3vlig"
Username was accepted but password is not taking with 3vlig. Any idea why password is not accepting? I've reset and tried multiple times with same result.

Fixed problem by reinstalling firmware.

FUBAR - great step by step guide!

This only works with 1.1L or 1.2L model ?

My E4 is 1.2L if I recall correctly.

I don't think model number really matters, only the firmware version.

Hello, thank you for this great work. I upgraded my camera 2 times, first when my software was 1.21 and one month ago after upgrade to 2.3 I install advanced menu.

The reason why I am writing this post is in attached photos. First is naked thermograph in windows viewer and second is this what I can see in Flir Tool (5.1.15036.1001) when thermography is on full screen. It's ridiculous situation because in miniatur in FT I see photo like in Windows viewer (and I'm sure is like on camera screen when I shot photo).

What do you think about it? Problem is the same in another PC with FT.

You'll need to turn high contrast mode off in flir tools. Can't remember where it is or the exact setting. Might be linear scale.

You can adjust the colors by moving these sliders at the botom of the image

Actually the second image is better than the first. In the first one everything is prety much the same color. You can't glean much information just by looking at it. In the second image the temperature differences are amplified so it is much easier to tell the hot and cold spots apart.

Great guide but I ran into a little trouble. I have a 1.22 camera that I updated to 2.3 at the suggestion of the guide to upgrade prior to beginning. It was late and I was not thinking clearly, I should have just used the old method for 1.22. (this is the suggestion I would make to the guide)

Editing my post to hold off on asking for help. I need to double check my own information, I think I found a backup from 1.22 so maybe I can just downgrade.

Thanks for the guide, really a great contribution.

Did the script generate the backup-xxxxxxxxxxx folder with the two files inside? If not, did you manually make a backup of the original camera files?

Did you run the 2.3.0_Menu.fif?

Thanks for the quick reply. I thought I was ready to ask for help, but sadly have lost track of myself. The resolution script did create backupXXXX with files, and I believe I have a full backup as well.

I did not run the 2.3.0_menu.fif

Hello,

the reason is a setting in the camera.
It limits the minimal span to a value to void noise gradient I think.

.image.contadj.autoAdj.TSpanMinAuto 8

this is why the camera shows a well temperatured area and the PC shows a full span between min and max...

There is no need to change the auto min settings on the camera for everyday use. Just use the sliders in FT like was suggested or if you have the menu hack installed use the manual mode. Plus there are are a ton of separate config files on the E4. You are better off just putty'ing in and changing the setting manually unless you want to go though all 10-20 of them to find where that setting is.

Its the same photo, in the same temperature scale, only difference is if I will open in FT or JPEG viewer so colours should be the same.

It cant help becouse:
if I will use sliders I will change the temperature scale so...

What I have to change to repaid my camera?

In attachment we have 4 photos from E4 and E4+, source and from FT 5.1.

1. Original photos have always lower contrast, why is that?
2. Why contrast in picture form E4+ is stronger after opening in FT then from E4?
3. Temperatures in Sp1 are a little bit different before and after FT.

For me is f.....g strange, even if you have camera without any upgrade Flir Tool is cheating you;)

I cant help but notice that the 4th pic the temp scale is compressed in the middle quite a bit compared to the other scales.
