How to load Modified Firmware:
1) DOWNLOAD the version and modification desired.
2) COPY new FW MOD file to root of microSD card using computer.
3)
RENAME the FW file from
FWA129_MOD-4Uj_v1.50+24F+20RMbs+Sharp123+Edge132+DCTeam.bin ===> to ===>
FWA129.bin
4) Safely Remove memory card from computer.
5) Disconnect power to Dashcam, disconnect Rear camera.
6) Insert memory card with binary file into Dash Cam.
7) Connect power to Dashcam wait 60 seconds for update to restart the Dashcam.
8) Dashcam will restart on its own, do not disconnect power cable.
9) Stop recording, then enter MENU and select
DEFAULT Setting then wait for Dash Cam to restart.
10) Configure MENU settings Resolution, Loop, Sharpness, GPS, Date, Time Zone.
NOTE:
Computers show or hide file extensions, if you see the .bin after download make sure it stays after renaming.
If you don't see .bin file extension no need to add it since its there but hidden from view.
A129 is almost unbrickable if you don't flash the BootLoader. If update fails or is corrupted the BootLoader is still functional.
To restore Dashcam, copy official A129 firmware file to microSD card then Power-On wait 1 minute.
