Misho,
Do You have a BLACK Edition?
 
Grey CN edition. V2.0 is just a sticker at the camera bottom.
 
I encountered the same problem. I realised I have a CC version. I'm stuck with the pink screen. What do I do now?

First of all, I didn't know before that there was different version of it and went straight to changing it to the US version.

What I do is below :

1> I tried to reformat the SDCard, add the US SN.txt, add the engmode, add the AAA222CCC.txt

2> I tried to reformat the SDCard and tried with FWCARC10.bin only. the yellow light doesn't blink.

3> I closed everything and I tried to open it. I got the Pink Screen.

4> I tried to reformat the SDCard and tried with FWCARC12.bin only. Nothing, the yellow light doesn't blink.

FWCARC12.bin from http://www.xiaoyi.com/yi_dash_camera/download.html


I think my CC version had a US S/N still.

How I can re-cahnge US s/N to Original CN S/N ?

or Do you have a special method for re-make FWCARC12.bin with US S/N ?

Please help me.


JUST DOWNLOAD THE ENGLISH VERSION (FWCARC12.bin)
and done! mine working well
 
I joined just so that I could thank you AppleHolic. Installation went well and the camera works perfectly.
 
Hi,
Please help me.
I tried to change my cam from chinese to anglish and stuck with the screen saying:
"System language adaption fail. Access denied"

I think the problem happend because accidentially, the SN.txt file I saved with UTF-8 encoding.
Please can someone halp me..
How do I change the SN when I see the screen with the "System language adaption fail. Access denied" message??

thanks, Avi.
 
Got the same problem with 1st post fw. "System language adaption failed. Access denied"
I tried to restore back to fw chinese 1.03.026 but not success. I don't know what version of fw on 1st post, I think I have to download the correct version fw in chinese then change language with version number file

Yes, my dashcam was 1.03.026 US fw before. When flash fw from this post, got the problem.
I tried to flash back to 1.03.026 CN fw, but still got same problem (in chinese). Then, I tried flash back the fw 1.03.026 and it works.
I don't know why :)

Thanks chat. It worked on me also. :)
 
My camera is on the second group CA31A And it still doesn't seem to work, is there any chance anyone can help me with that, in private? I didn't seem to find any fix for it online.

@IcyGBait
Read thru thread below link... Got one post stated create 2 files and put into sdcard, it fixed mine as I noticed my ca31 unit sn being messed up by seller... So I use put the actual sn no from bottom of the unit below the qr code into sn.txt and another file AAA222CCC.txt into root of your ad card... Reboot your device and wait... If a blue screen pop up with the sn no you put in then it should be working now.. else hit reset!

Old check your SN as it is same with your unit? Mine one being tempered by seller causing this... And I mange to get my unit running again with putting the actual sn of my unit.
