Have you tried the original software just format the sd card in your pc then run the black Vue program on the pc so it updates the sd card then put back into your cam and let it update
Yeah, I tried to downgrade firmware, I went from 1.xx to custom, then down to 2.0
All i could find on blackvue site was 2.0. So after I initialized the SD card, Cam says updating firmware
It seems to go fine, I an pull the cd cards and see that it is still recording fine with correct time and location data.
However nothing can detect the wifi. The wifi button works in that it gives voice promt "wifi on" and the wifi icon turns on and off. Its just that I dont see an SSID.
I even tried to edit the config file entering in different SSID just to check. I even changed auto on status to make sure the config file was being accessed. Which it is, since
when I set auto to "0" it stays off and when set to "1" its starts with wifi light on.
I have a feeling something during the custom update maybe changed the drivers setting for the wifi modules. I think 2.0 firmware from blackvue is a patch, and not a full update. Maybe if I had a older firmware, I could try to full update, but I dont have access to any of the older firmware.
thanks

1. Format memory card
2. Set the official firmware on the card.
3. Turn 550 and wait for initialization.

Also the new CFW v1.1 works absolutely perfect.
This time I installed it by first formatting the SD card with SD formatter, then made it fat32 with 32kb clusters, the old schol way with guiformat, and then re-installed 2.0 Stock, wich went trough with no problems. Then the procedure I already described in a previous post, the CFW update
No problems here. The new Version now also seem to have the bad pixel correction fix, which 1.0 did not seem to have...
@ptrout
Make sure you format propperly. I also ran into problems with the cam, not beeing completely initialized.
The Problem was either that I just deleted the files, or let blackvue software delete it, or the fact that I tried several times... just do the procedure again, maybe with another SD-Card- For tests it can be a smaller one...
(an indication that something was wrong with the config file was, that the iphone app crashed when saving, or took very long to save the modifications....)

Thanks for helping gap the language barrier DASHCAMDAVE!
The exFAT - FAT32 option is certainly present in the custom web interface - how ever it escapes me as to how to successfully accomplish the formatting within the operation of the camera.
Sequence I followed:
I updated to Custom Firmware 1.1
No problems
While connected in the web interface
I inserted a 64GB SD card.
Clicked the exFAT icon
Seemed to complete - it eventually responded with a dialog box and some "mkexfatfs 1.0.1" message.
Restarted the DVR
Gave me an error message regarding the SDCARD. "PLEASE CHECK THE SD CARD"
And I am unable to connect to the DVR whilst exFat card is inserted.
Any help appreciated...
TIA
