I have been trying to change the firmware on my SJ5000X from 1.5.1 to 1.4.6. Someone suggested I needed a "loader file" so I installed a file I found in one of the forums. Now my camera will not start at all. I get two blue lights but no boot. Can anyone help me get my camera working again?

Hello, can you please try to open a ticket here? support.sjcamhd.com

Thanks!
 
Was able to get the camera running again with the help of the Amazon Seller and SJ Cam. It seems the newest SJ5000X are using a different LCD panel and the panel is not compatible with firmware older than 1.5.1. I have 1.5.1 up and running again, but I cannot install any of the older firmwares. The manufacturing date on my camera is June 2017.

Interesting. Did the support person at SJCAM say there was a newer screen?
 
I was told that they have changed suppliers on the LCD panel. The new panel is not compatible with older firmware versions. I was also told that the "new" LCD is better quality that the original. I've never seen the original so I have no way of knowing
