Hi i seem to have a possibly dead m4+ , iv only got a solid red and a solid green, no wifi output, not talking, and not recording, has anyone got any firmware for this camera please so i can at least try flashing it. thank you.
Have you tested if flashing works by creating an empty update script, or is your M4+ really dead and needs to be dismantled ?Did you find a way to fix this? Mine has the same issue.
Found a link to firmware V3.3.1.7 posted on this forum. Tried to flash with SDcard but nothing happens. Lights remain solid red and green. No "Hello DDPai" message at startup, does not record videos, does not show up on Wifi.Have you tested if flashing works by creating an empty update script, or is your M4+ really dead and needs to be dismantled ?
If it does not say "Updating", repairing M4+ will be pretty difficult (or even impossible). I have opened mine some time ago and could not visually identify the console UART testpoints on the PCB.Tried to flash with SDcard but nothing happens.
Yea not worth it. Don't know why it suddenly failed. It was working fine before this.If it does not say "Updating", repairing M4+ will be pretty difficult (or even impossible). I have opened mine some time ago and could not visually identify the console UART testpoints on the PCB.
One can certainly find their location on a working device, but then you need to solder the RX/TX cables and hope that the SPI flash is not damaged.
Don't know if it is really worth the effort.
Hi, could you point me to the link, ill try it but i think its dead, what i did notice was while i was at the pub garden having my dinner in the sun, seems like a long time ago now (still in lockdown since last year) the dashcam started recording upside down, then driving home it was perfect, then totally dead, so iv now cot a viofo a139 ready to go in, cheers.Found a link to firmware V3.3.1.7 posted on this forum.

The latest official version is from year 2018. Can you access the SD card over USB ?Any idea where to download DDPai M4 firmware?
I forgot the password and the reset doesn't work.
Does it look right ? I must have the old versions somewhere on my old HDDs...Contacted Ddpai but they said they don't have.. craze..
You can enable telnetd and login remotely, but it's a bit risky and requires some skill. I have not done it for years, but can check if you are interested.I heard "updating" but no password reset.
Create an update/update.sh file on the SD card with the following contentIt's kind of garbage if not fixed..
/usr/sbin/telnetd &
Thanks but wandering what I can do even if I log in with telnet?Create an update/update.sh file on the SD card with the following content
and restart the device. It will say 'updating' and after that you can login as root with telnet over wifi (without any password, because it is empty).Code:/usr/sbin/telnetd &
Sorry for the confusion.Put the following command into update/update.shThanks but wandering what I can do even if I log in with telnet?
I will need to find Ddpai wifi password to use Ddpai app.
cp /app/bin/hostapd.conf /mnt/sd/my_wifi_config.txt
looks no /app/bin folder.Sorry for the confusion.Put the following command into update/update.sh
reboot, and check the contents of my_wifi_config.txt on the SD card.Code:cp /app/bin/hostapd.conf /mnt/sd/my_wifi_config.txt
Check if the hostapd is runninglooks no /app/bin folder.
And found the file "hostapd.conf" from /usr/bin/ but no password info.
