When you physically go to your Python27 folder on your computer do you see the back up file as having been created?
Are there 2 files in there?

If yes, try pulling the battery out and rebooting the camera. You should be done.
The Python scripting applies (swaps) the files automagically.

I do not seem to be able to access a hidden menu by holding down the right button for 10sec.

Is the hidden menu a feature found with the menu upgrade and thus not part of this hack? (I.e resolution only?)

I dont have my camera in front of me but I think you have to go into "camera information" then hold right.

I have only the original file, no new file has been created.
Any idea why I get this syntax error?
I'm using the cmd window from Python, when I open it, I'm directly into the python27 folder ( all folders), I added my 2 files in there just by copying them, I did'nt create a new folder to place them, is it ok?

Where is the limit of close focus for the E4 lens ?
I have been able to rotate the lens half way to the left (using the plastic device on thingiverse). With this setting I can focus about 10cm from the object. I have noticed that the lens screw is pretty loose at that position though.

Which is the limit for the lens screw before it gets too loose ? In other words, which is the sensible limit to rotate the lens without risking the lens geting out the camera or something ?

By the way, which is the benefit of using a custom close-up lens, in place of just rotating the lens ?

I have no idea what is happening, I run the set_RNDIS.fif it all works but when I run IPCONFIG I do not see my camera. Also if I try to connect to 192.168.0.2 with FTP it does not recognize it. Can you help me?

I had the same problem, I reloaded the driver for the camera and after that, I was able to see it using ipconfig. I could'nt before.
I got the driver from FLIR website.

bpan · « **Reply #5682 on:** October 29, 2014, 07:51:46 pm »

I have looked and looked I can't find a driver anywhere.... you wouldn't have the link would you?
EDIT: I found them.
EDIT2: Still not connecting I don't know what to do...

Thanks Bookaboo,
That did it!
I'll test to see if I can get FlirTools to recognize the camera when I get home.

OKAY!!! I got all that, but now when I come to entering my "password" it wont let me type ANYTHING!

Andyf80 · « **Reply #5685 on:** October 30, 2014, 12:01:02 am »

The password is protected where it doesn't show the letters or typing.
Simply type the password and hit enter. It should work for you.

Also, here is the link to the drivers just in case anyone is still looking for them:

I was able to get in to the hidden menu and see the USB Mode section. However, when I try to change the USB Mode to MSD (or any other option besides USB) it takes me back to the previous screen with no change made.

Anyone have any tips?

Thanks!

Hi, I'm very close to succeed to get my high resolution for my E4.
the problem that I have is this ( see the attach file)
The backup file has been created, I can see it in the python folder, the new dll and cfg have been created also.
But I got error 550, the program won't upload the file back to my E4.
Any suggestions??
Thanks a lot.

bpan · « **Reply #5689 on:** October 30, 2014, 01:28:48 am »

I'm almost there, thanks so much for the help guys you've been great! When I go to "apply" all I get is this. Nothing seems to work I don't have any extra files or backups or anything.
EDIT: Wow I am dumb.
Thank you so much for this! It worked great. I will try to make a how to video of this.

Andyf80 · « **Reply #5690 on:** October 30, 2014, 01:29:47 am »

Hey Copineau,
I got a similar issue, but did a reboot by removing the battery and mine took anyway.

Sorry, wish I could be more help.

bpan · « **Reply #5691 on:** October 30, 2014, 02:02:42 am »

I have created a Torrent with all the needed files in order to hack the E4 please seed if you download.
Thanks!

what did you do to get it work?
We were almost at the same point.
Look at my post, the only thing missing is cause by error 550.
EDIT I'm trying to download your torrent.

bpan · « **Reply #5693 on:** October 30, 2014, 02:14:49 am »

My only problem was that rather than typing "python apply.py apply 192.168.0.2" I typed "apply.py apply 192.168.0.2"

The program ran itself a few times before it actually downloaded. Are you using v3.

copineau · « **Reply #5694 on:** October 30, 2014, 02:17:46 am »

bpan
Yes, I'm using v3
It did create the files but it won't upload it to my e4.

bpan · « **Reply #5695 on:** October 30, 2014, 02:35:50 am »

You have logged into your camera via FTP? Are you sure you have the right IP address? Sorry I don't really know what I am doing, I am not a programmer I am just a guy bumping my way through hacking an infrared camera.

3roomlab · « **Reply #5696 on:** October 30, 2014, 02:49:17 am »

i have a small Qn @ the more experienced E4 coders, for manual temp range mode, is there a way to write somekind of startup setting so that the E4 will always start in a certain mode and temp range ?

and also, is there something i can fiddle with to improve the image algorithm? or reduce its compression rate when it saves?

thanks in advance

Out of curiosity, is anybody working on the menu hack at the current moment?

bookaboo · « **Reply #5698 on:** October 30, 2014, 09:05:46 am »

Flir disabled selection of RNDIS in V2.3 (or at least made it some secret key combo we haven't figured out).
To enter RNDIS mode you need follow these instructions from Mikes post #483 in this thread:

Quote from: mikeselectricstuff on November 02, 2013, 10:09:43 pm

To set USB RNDIS mode temporarily - until next hard restart
Run FLIRInstallNet, run the "Set_RNDIS_Temporary" .fif file
You will get a timeout error as it dumps the USB connection.

.fif Scripts are also included to set RNDIS permanently, and also remove permanent RNDIS
These add/remove the appcore.d\factory.d\zrndis.rsc file

When RNDIS is active, USB Mass sotrage and video mode are NOT available.
Access to files is still possible via FTP or the the Flir T3Mon virtual drive util that comes with the RNDIS device drivers

Note FlirInstallNet WILL work over RNDIS.

You can find the relevant files in post #483.

Does anyone else think that a thread like this, should be private? No doubt FLIR are monitoring this thread very closely, so they know when they need to work on a new fix to render the hacks useless. At least in a closed environment, users can be vetted and the hacks could continue to be developed in more secrecy?

I know it's nice to have everything public, but it would help delay FLIR's response and potentially cut back on those scalpers selling E4s with lower firmware revisions.
