Dear All

My Yi Dash cam is stucked on " language adoptation error " as attached picture.

The camera is with latest version of Chinese firmware and I have tried to convert it to English by replacing first 14 characters of serial number with CN to US.

Please help me to restore my cam.

Thank you..

Yes.. please let me know the error massage.

I got stucked when I try to chang the Chinese firmware to English. I replaced serial number CN to US as per described in this forum.

At this point you must flash English firmware. Chinese firmware not working..

B. If YI Smart Dash Camera cannot boot normally, try push the reset button on the top of the camera with a pin. If the camera still cannot boot:

1. Download FWCARC10.bin to the micro SD card and put it in the root directory (make sure the file name remains FWCARC10.bin)
2. Insert the micro SD card in the camera
3. Connect the camera to a power source, then switch on the camera
4. The yellow light at the right-bottom corner of the camera will flash, but the screen remains dark (if the light is not flashing, push the reset button on the top of the camera with a pin)
5. Wait for 1-5 minutes before the update is successful and the camera is restarted
6. Format the micro SD card after the camera is successfully restarted, otherwise the update process will be started every time the camera is restarted

Notice: NEVER cut off the power source or shut down the camera while update is in progress.
Previous version download link:

• B. FWCAR10.bin

+1 to the request. These new black versions are Chinese-only, so a way to turn them to English would be super helpful.
