Upgrading E30 to E8 including resolution upgrade.
Hello All,
My name is Gustavo, and I have been craving to share with you all a great accomplishment I had with an E30, I successfully upgraded it to an E60, using all the available hardwares, including “Camera”, Flash Light for illumination, 320x240 resolution with full frame buffer, WiFi, Bluetooth, Video Recording, and even the name of it is E60 instead.
DO IT ONLY IF YOU UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING SAID HERE, IF SOMETHING SOUNDED ODD OR GREK DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ALTER YOUR UNIT. I AM SHARING WHAT I HAVE DONE, AND I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MISUSES OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS OF ANY SORT. BE AWARE.
I will now share the procedures I endured through out this with all of you, but before I have some warnings:
1. This hack was performed over an E30 2012 model, so, before changing your unit, check your unit serial number, it has to start with 490.
2. The Firmware version must be 2.23.14, the latest for this model up today.
3. You must backup every listed File, and once copying the new files, replace it, DO NOT LET OLD COPIES AT THE DIRECTORY OR THEY WILL BE EXECUTED, EVEN IF IT HAS CHANGED THE NAME OR EXTENSION. BE AWARE.
4. To access your camera you must have the flir_device_drivers already installed
5. Your camera must be at RNDIS MODE, in order to set it up, go to, Settings -> Information, press “right button” and keep it pressed till a USB menu appear and select RNDIS only, back, and got to the main screen,. NORMALLY TAKES 10 SECONDS TO THE USB MENU APPEAR.
6. After steps 5 and 6 are done, connect your camera to your computer, wait 20 seconds, open a FTP software (WinSCP or FileZilla) and connect to 192.168.0.2 username: flir password: 3vlig
7. It is highly recommended that you may be acquitted to FTP and those things, or you will damage your unit.
8. This is what worked for me, and I am just reporting by explaining how to, do it at your own risk.
Procedures
1. Make a full backup of the directory FlashFS, skip every unaccessible file, the most important here are the Configuration files, the others will be in case of need.
2. Open at the backup file: FlashFS\system\appcore.d\config.d\conf.cfg
2.1 Take a note of the line started with # ID, it is in the bottom of the file. This is a important step, this ID is, although, your serial number.
3. Open the same file at the downloaded Hack files FlashFS\system\appcore.d\config.d\conf.cfg
4. Replace the # ID 490xxxxx to your # ID and add a new line <ENTER> (DO NOT FORGET TO ADD THE NEW LINE RIGHT AFTER THE LAST CHARACTER, DO NOT LET ANY OTHER CHARACTER LEFT.)
5. Now copy this altered file to the same place where the CRC01.exe is located
6. at the command line and at the directory where you have just copied the file, enter: cc01.exe “conf.cfg”
7. It will display a line with the CRC01 of the file, it will look like this “# CRC01 fd769a2a” copy it and past it at the end conf.cfg you are editing from the hack files, and add a new line pressing ENTER (DO NOT FORGET TO ADD THE NEW LINE RIGHT AFTER THE LAST CHARACTER, DO NOT LET ANY OTHER CHARACTER LEFT.)
8. Copy the just modified hack file to the same path in the camera using your FTP Software.
9. Do the same procedures shown at lines 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, but instead you will use:
9.2 \FlashFS\system\ui.d\config.d\conf.cfg
9.3 \FlashFS\system\appcore.d\config.d\conf.cfg
9.4 \FlashFS\system\services.d\config.d\conf.cfg
10. Copy from your backup file \FlashFS\system\kits.d\confkit.rev, open it and alter E30 to E60 at the line started with VERSION. there is no need to add the CRC01, just alter and copy it back to your unit at the same path you copied from your backup “\FlashFS\system\kits.d\confkit.rev”
After everything done, turn off your camera by pressing “start button” for 2 seconds, take the battery off and replace it and restart again. and Now you have a E60.
To use the full potential of the unit, take the cove of the laser off and make wholes where the Flash light and Camera are located, it is hidden beneath it.
