I got my camera today and would like to update the firmware.
i just got a 64gb card. there are problems in using for the firmware update?
 
Format it as FAT32 on PC using Smart Disk FAT32.

Apparently I did something wrong. I used a 16gb card, and tried to update from the original (october?) firmware. formatted sd card in my pc, put it in the camera, connected to win10 laptop with usb cable, selected mass storage mode. copied the LD file and nothing else to the camera. safely removed hardware for the camera. then i turned on the camera (not connected to computer) because i thought maybe i should (that's probably what i did wrong). it booted up normally and was ready to record. turned it back off, connected to PC. front green light and rear red light came on but nothing else. left it there for about 5 minutes but the front green and rear red were still on. unplugged USB cable, lights still on. turned off camera with power button - lights turned off. removed SD card, checked it in laptop with SD card adapter. the LD file was still there and was still the only thing on the card.

now it seems the camera is completely dead. it will not turn on at all, even with a freshly charged battery and NO sd card. the battery i was using was only used for a couple minutes, so it's basically fully charged too. did i just brick my camera? any way to recover such as maybe shorting a reset connection on the board, or just flashing an older/original firmware?

edit: just put the 1.2 (december 24) firmware on the SD card (deleted the LD file first). put that card in the camera then plugged into phone charger via usb cable. front green and rear red lights flickered for a little bit, then started blinking slowly like when it's recording. then they flashed very fast some more like when i updated firmware on the git1, flashed slowly, fast, and now they're just on solid. held power button and lights turned off again. camera still won't turn on. :(

Firmware upgrade went find although it seemed to have defaulted my settings. Not a problem but would be nice if that did not happen. Can't wait to test slow 720p slow motion!

Are you trying to turn it on with either the loader file or firmware file still on the card? It sounds like you have the new loader on the camera and the December firmware also on the camera now so it should turn on with no card in and no computer connection, not sure if you have tried that since loading the December firmware?
 
It take me more than 4 hours to fix the french translation for gitup , Does my translation is in the new firmware?
what about more resolution at 24p?

Does the trouble with white pixel in low ligth condition have been fix???
 
Ok , I just read in another post that the new firmware should help for the pixel , but it is not as good as they like , so it is why they don t talk about it in this firmware. The probleme will get more improvement after chinese new years.

Edit:
I was in the same situation. I did exactly the same things that you, step bt step, and the result was the same, the camera is totally dead and finally get it to work copying the new firmware directly. I hope you can fix it.

that worked - copied the 1.3 firmware to SD card by itself, and it DID turn on with that, and do the flickering lights while updating. waited for lights to stop flashing and turn off, removed SD card, and it turns on!! PHEW!

I too wish it would keep my settings (50/60hz, ntsc/pal, etc) when flashing firmware, but it's not so bad. it kind of forces you to go through the menus and discover all the new toys that @gitup has gifted us with. :D

so much for the video i tried to make showing how to upgrade the firmware... :rolleyes:

If you will follow exactly the instructions you will not brick (temporary) the camera. From my experience with Novatek cameras is almost impossible to brick it permanently.

enjoy,

Thanks! I had the same problem when updating so your comment saved my day! Thanks :-)
 
Just trying the 1.3 firmware.
I still get no audio on HDMI output to TV but looking at release notes I see it is not on the fix list - is it meant to be fixed in this release?

I have to say I only got my GIT2 at end of Dec last year and have been well impressed - not just with the kit but the responsiveness of developers in improving the firmware -2 significant updates already.

I think the fix failed testing at the last moment so has been left out of this update, you can expect it in the next. Would probably have got into this release if it hadn't been for the Chinese New Year holidays meaning nothing can be done for the next 2 weeks.
 
Is possible turn on the cam with remote controller in next firm?

i don't think that will ever be possible because the radio receiver has to be turned on in order to receive signal from the remote control. which would mean a dead battery in the camera, which nobody would like.
