I was quite annoyed that Nextbase removed the option to disable their logo on recorded video for their 512GW dashcam, so this weekend I set about modifying the existing firmware to remove it and some other annoyances. Now that I've finished, I am releasing it in case someone else finds it useful!

Nextbase 512GW - FlyMod by TheBoyCanFly
R15.8.01 - 25th February 2018
What is it?
FlyMod is a modification of the stock firmware for the Nextbase 512GW dashcam. It removes certain features that were annoying me. Below is a list of what is changed from the stock version.
* Removes Nextbase logo from recorded videos.
* Removes the "Recording Protected at" message from recorded videos.
* Stops the camera creating nextbase.info and nextbase.co.uk.url files.
* Keeps the low resolution recordings in a separate Movie folder so as not to clutter up the main folders.
How to install
Copy the included FW512GWA.bin file to an empty microSD card. Insert the card into your 512GW and connect the power cable to the USB port. The dashcam will turn on begin flashing the firmware. When it has finished, it will reboot and you will now be running FlyMod.
Disclaimer
While I have tested the firmware, I cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by installing it. Sometimes software just ****s the bed.
Enjoy!
