Is anyone else having issues updating their 312GW?
14 months ago I emailed Nextbase about a minor issue where the device would occasionally lock up, and we agreed updating the firmware from 3.4 to 4.5 might help. I could not for the life of me get it to update, and now I'm trying again with v5.4.
I've tried several iterations, and the dashcam seems to just ignore the fact that there's firmware files on the root of the SD card. I've tried formatting in Windows as their support video demonstrates, and I've tried in Linux and on the camera itself. Drop the files onto the root of the disk, put it in the camera, plug in external power by USB from a 2A USB charger, and the camera merrily boots up and starts recording... whilst staying on v3.4
What am I doing wrong?
Edit: The SD card is absolutely fine. Has been running well for a year now, no bad blocks, errors, weirdness, etc. A Sandisk Class 10 32GB
