New firmware Ver2.000 for BlackVue DR550GW-2CH

Finally I have successfully changed my Korean BlackVue DR550GW-2CH to a English firmware with working gps, speed and date.
Can I now install the English firmware ver.2.000 without losing the working GPS ability?

Can you please tell me how did you convert the firmware step by step?

There are lots of information but with new firmwares, there's no any info. They say only via UART cable we can convert the firmware.

Also it's not important which language am I using now, all I want to change is the GPS, time & date.

Do we have any way to fix it?

Now I begin to use the new firmware.
 
Right been running the New cable., Got to say much better no interference at all the last few days moved the cable a little.

However firmware 2 may have an issue I had a problem with firmware 2.00 changing the date to 1st Jan 2016 ish and the time to 1am when it was 3pm format the card and its back to normal.

But WOW I flew forward in time today... Now I have been un-born its the 1st of January 1970. Wow Five years before I was born and the rear cameras been off all day. Had this stupid woman driving along if I had stopped she would have rammed me she wouldn't stop texting to say I am on my way home, looking down for about 1 minute at a time. she was behind me in a 10-20 MPH jam and nearly hit the back of me as traffic slowed many times. At least she put the phone down after we hit the A19 but then Out comes the food and oh a reply on her phone. She was right behind my bumper I could have put it up no problem.

The videos wont play in the video player due to there date and the front camera has decided to go into parking mode when the cars moving and normal mode when the cars parked. and No E files even when i accelerate like a pig over a speed bump... wow I thought something was up when I saw that 1970 Ford Escort and VW drive past me and the ww2 jeep. pity because the camera was off at those times Must have parked me and gone to sleep...

Why cant they make anything work...

I am going to phone barclaycard tomorrow going to try and get a refund I think they are supposed to have insurance for this sort of thing.. Its just not up to the job no matter what firmware they release its not going to be up to standard.
 
I have reflashed the firmware onto the device. and will try again, I redownloaded it Just in case there was a problem.

to flash the new firmware. format your SD card. then run the program it will set the sd card up insert back into the dash camera and turn on wait a while and it will say stating recording then you will have to set all your MPH settings and Sensitivity settings up. Not hard to do.
 
Hello all,
It's been a while since I visited - couple of new issues for me.
1. the rear camera for some inexplicable reason has developed a problem - it functions only for the first 10-30 seconds when I power on the system. It has started shutting off randomly about a month ago. I thought updating the firmware to version 2.0, might help. it did not. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot the problem??

2. After updating to the 2.0 firmware, the settings screens are almost inoperable? They have no "SAVE" or "SUBMIT" button visible. I had to use my iphone app to adjust the settings?

Thanks in advance for any help.

1. This is a known issue rear camera - manufacturer ignore complaints from users.
2. On version 2.000 screen works and other works as before.

Thanks for the reply. I could find no posts on here regarding the rear camera failure???

Is it the camera itself? or the firmware? Or do we know?

Has anyone ordered a replacement camera? If so, from whom, and at what PRICE?

firmware and back camera is not to blame the problem is that programmers Pittasoft ;)
 
Alexsoll~ is there a software hack/patch available?
until this problem is solved
People go from Pittasof. Customers are not satisfied with such attitude.

1. My rear cam does not have such problem. Its problem is poor video quality!
2. I guess that you are using the high resolusion monitor (e.g. Full HD!) as I have the same problem with that HD monitor. When I use the 1280 x 800 pixel monitor, the "Save" button appears!
 
Hi guys
I know this has been discussed thousands of times but i still cannot get it right. I dont know what went wrong and i need help.
I'm using the 550 and had tried to change the korean speaking to english by updating it to version 2.000

I followed the steps found on the internet and here's what i did:
1. Format my pittasoft sd card using sd formatter to fat32
2. Upgrade my firmware to english
3. Put in the sd card in the cam and upgrading is done automatically & cam was speaking in english. Shortly, it says the version information is different.
4. Take out sdcard, go back to computer & go into version.bin & change both english to korea
5. Put back sdcard into cam again, says version is different again
6. Then i repeat step 4 except this time i change to english

But it still dont work. Version is still different.

I've tried playing with putty but i dont get it. I dont understand the root and tp thing. I cant seems to find a place for me to type the login & password. Even when the DOS prompt pop out i type in the mnt/.../upgrade.sh it always prompt me connection timeout.

Right now whenever i power up the cam its in english but keep repeating the version information is different. Other than changing the language to english in version.bin, do i need to change other settings? Can anyone advise? Thanks.

That way is for the 500 which is different To do the 550 you have to use the putty method only
 
Thanks hillbilly
So all this while i've been doing wrong method.
As for the putty method, how do i go about it? How do i establish a telnet connection via PUTTY to the IP of the 550?
Sorry i really sucks at IT skills.
 
Read through the 550- threads I don't have one so don't know how to do it There is a tutorial in the threads somewhere
