New Yi Dash Camera owners,
Please do not take the risk of converting your camera from Chinese to English firmware, especially if you have a black colored (action/power) version of the camera. It's sad to see so many new posters asking for help on unbricking their new purchase.
Even if you successfully convert your camera, the only benefit is an English menu. With the original Chinese firmware, you can control all camera settings through the English app available through the App Store.
The camera interface is so easy to use, a child could master it. Each setting is simply a toggle. English is not needed.
To top it off, the Chinese firmware is a couple versions newer than the English/international version. As of today, the latest Chinese firmware for the Yi Smart Dash Camera is 1.03.028 while the English firmware is 1.03.026. The Yi Dash Camera (action version) is 1.03.034 with no corresponding English firmware.
