I got this G1w-CB back at Christmas and have been dealing with the date reset issue until tonight when I happened to want to find a recorded video on the SD card. Well the video wasn't there because it overwrote it because the date. I decided to do some more research and that lead me to the thread here on how to update the firmware. I formatted my card, put the bin file in the root and tried updating. At first it was booting straight to recording without trying to update. I then read that you may have to rename the bin file. I did that and the screen started black as it is supposed to and I left it for for 5+ minutes. I tried tapping the power button to turn it off and it just turns on the front facing LED.
I've tried renaming it back to the original filename, holding the reset button with a pin, and tried using it powered via my laptop. I cannot get it to do anything besides intermittently flash the red LED and turn the front facing LED on when I press the power button. Did I brick it? Anything I can try to do to save it?
