I think I bricked my Dash Cam with Novatek 96663 with bad firmware...

Hi Everyboady!

I have this dash cam. Dual lens with both full hd res and Novatek 96663 chipset.

Today I tried to update firmware. I used firmware from this site... It looked soooo similar. :)
Link to thread

After copy loader and camera run, now everything is dead. Camera is not responding, not flashing any led, etc.
I can see chipset in my camera is NT96663BG-H (I opened my camera).

Is it game over with my camera ?
Or maybe I can try to unbrick this HW in some how ?
My original FW was named: WH85066332.F1.20170701.V1 (from very bad chinese APK)

Kind regards!
 
Thanks for the answer...

Using CH341A programmer (and clip - no need soldering) I checked that 25Q64JVSIQ chip is empty.
So I put there a firmware from my China seller.
Still the same problem. Camera is not responding. Nothing happened after power on.
Should I also upload loader bin file ? Where is loader data hiding ?
Unfortunetaly my China seller didn`t send me a loader file. He`s telling me that there is only one file...

Kind regards!
 
Very similar problems were encountered by users of similar dash JooY A1 and Jooyfact A6 - when the manufacturer instead of Sony installed another image sensor (AR0330), on the Russian forum (Videoregforum.ru) about it wrote a lot, you can look there Jooyfact A6 and JooY A1 (Google translate to help), maybe you will find there something useful that will tell you the solutions your problem
