I've still got mine at home. I can copy the contents and send it you if that might help. Currently at work.
That'd be great!

@Celsian If you formatted the card before it did the update - I would take the card out and double check what you actually have on the card.
The steps to return to stock should be as simple as:
If your updates are failing, then I would suspect either step 1 or 3 were not done correctly.
- Reformat your card in fat32
- Download latest firmware from BV site
- Copy all folders to the SD card - including the BV folder itself - this is important!! (So you card will look like this for example: F:/Blackvue/Config) where F is the card, and I used the config folder purely to show it's under the main BV folder.
- Insert in camera and switch on.
- At this point mine did give me a problem, so I left the card in the camera and cycled the power - it then picked up the firmware and updated.
Do I get $100 yet haha
Won't be for a good few hours. As I'm on a 12hr night shift. If you pm me your email soon as I do get home I can mail you or add it to drop box or something.

therippa, make formatting a memory card, insert to the Registrar, turn on, let him work for 1 minute, retrieves the memory card and show what is on the way: BlackVue - Config - version.bin
Put the sd card in. Boot the camera.
Press and hold the wifi button. Format the card.
Put the original firmware back on the card.
Let it update. See if that works. Let it take a while to update it. And get back to us.
Make sure the cards in fat32.
Ok.
Down load the stock firmware. Which I'm sure you have already.
Then follow the instructions. Put the card in. Format it using the camera.
Put the stock firmware on.
Update it.
Then see if it's any better. Then if it is update it to latest stock firmware.
I noticed the dash cam takes ages to load up on custom firmware when formatted to fat32. It also depends on what speed memory card you have. How fast can it write.My steps as noted above work. When I formatted the Card the in Camera it changed the file system to Fat32.
Just did a 10 minute test drive with the 550gw, it's back to the poor night video quality (Stock F/W). Whatever. At least I'm not getting the Custom F/W Stuttering issue anymore. (Which was happening both Day and Night at 12/5)
Edit:
It just occured to me, could formatting the card in exFat cause the stuttering problem with the custom f/w? I'm tempted to put the custom firmware back on and see if Fat32 stops the stuttering. I only started experiencing the stuttering AFTER I converted my card to exFat through the custom f/w web interface... I suppose I'll give the custom f/w another try tomorrow. I'd rather not go back to stock. The quality is just so poor.
I had this problem.
I had to format the card on the pc to fat32 as it was in exfat.
Not saying this is the same problem as yours but check what file format it is.
If it's exfat. Format it to fat32 n try again.
If it's already fat32. Then try leaving it longer. Again if not. Just keep rebooting it and let it try to update.
Only had it not take the firmware once. Had to do it twice.
What file format is it?This thing is killing me. I've never had so many problems with a piece of hardware. I even tried a different SD card, and the thing still won't reboot after loading the firmware.
