I do this and succeed
http://www.putty.org/
http://car-dvr.info/public/files/DR550-Eng-001.zip

After you download all and extract out the guys do it this way decent.
- With the DR550-Eng-001.zip unzip and copy the folder on the memory card is mod001 with blackvue folder
- The DR550 memory card slot and turn on wifi connected computer. then
- Connect putty. 192.168.1.8 and click tenel.
login: root, pass: tp
- After connecting putty / mnt/mmc/mod001/upgrade.sh
- Done in English and it would be decent guys but not yet completed.
- Next take the memory card out. format the memory card and install the setup file on the memory card FW1.014E
 
Do not rush to upgrade to firmware 1.014!
There is a problem connecting to the telnet, wait for custom firmware on the site: http://car-dvr.info/forum

Hi, What is the issue with the firmware? - I don't need to access Telnet do I?
I had a look on that linked forum, but it's all foreign to me :D So, I'm not sure what benefits any custom firmware would bring.

Are there issues with the standard firmware? and if I were to upgrade to 1.014, could I change later?

Not certain I understand the procedure shown above...(BTW - I'd like to update a newly purchased ENGLISH BlackVue DR550GW-2CH to the latest firmware) So here are my questions/concerns:
1. After down-loading and unzipping PUTTY and the ZIP file from CAR-DVR.INFO. Correct?
2. I then copy what to what? Am I copying the mod001 from the existing card to a folder? Or the mod001 from the extracted files to the card?
3. I then establish a telnet connection via PUTTY to the IP of the BlackVue DR550GW-2CH. Correct?
4. I then do what with the / mnt/mmc/mod001/upgrade.sh? Again, am I copying that set of files from what to what?
5. "Done in ENGLISH" Not certain what that comment means?
6. Last but not least, I then take the card out of the camera and format it, is that correct? If so what was I doing earlier, as the formatting will undoubtedly wipe the card clean. Then run the install? Correct?

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance, I realize some things may be lost in translation here, and I just do not want to damage or disable my new camera.
 
I'm certainly very new to this but:

If that's the case, why don't you use the standard updater which comes down with the download from the pitasoft site? - shouldn't need to mess around with telnet if you're sticking with standard.

Good question - my understanding was that as of last week there was only a Korean version of the update... however, I checked today and sure enough there is an English version... so that should make things a bit less complicated! THANKS RACINGSNAKE!
 
No worries, I only knew about that as I downloaded it yesterday in anticipation of my 550 turning up in the next couple of days!
 
Hi TEB! You are using DR550 Korean or English? I used DR550 Korean and English moved successfully.
Am I the mod001 copying from the existing card to a folder with blackvue
I then establish a telnet connection via PUTTY to the IP of the BlackVue DR550GW! Yes
I then do what with the / mnt/mmc/mod001/upgrade.sh!Yes

Hello THANHVAN229 - thanks for the reply. I still do not understand the process you are prescribing.
Well I received my KOREAN DR55GW today. I had no idea that PITTASOFT locked the firmware to the device. SO as I'm sure others have realized. One can not load the English firmware onto the Korean camera.
Which begins to explain all the gyrations others have gone through to convert to English.
****UPDATE****

THANHVAN229 - I stumbled ahead and finally got the PUTTY/mod001/ process to work!
Thanks!

1. Connect to your car DVR with your PC/notebook via Wi-Fi. Default SSID is a
combination of a model name, a dash, and last six symbols of its MAC address.
For example, DR550GW-XXXXXX.
Password: blackvue , or the one you have assigned by setting it up in
configuration files.

2. Use Telnet to make a connection:
IP: 192.168.8.1 , or the one you have assigned by setting it up in
configuration files.
Port: 23
Login: root
Password: tp
You will enter to a command prompt of a Linux shell as a super-user.

3. Execute the following command:
/mnt/mmc/mod001/upgrade.sh

4. Enjoy!
