Hello, I bought this used DS-2DF5274-A PTZ online, it is working though it's Chinese region locked and the web interface only show "firmware language mismatch: /home/weblib" I did not flash it or anything, it came like this, though onvif and hikvision port 8000 does work, any way to fix this?

edit: firmware is V5.4.0build160613

oh sry about that, after some playing around and looking at other posts, i was able to put a older 5.1.4 firmware using tftp and hiktool, it works now in nvr and the web interface is back, could do something about the OSD week though, i turned the week setting off but i hope theres a way to change it back to english, if there's none, then thats fine. at least i have a working PTZ camera, sry for not doing research first before posting

Follow-up question for anyone here, Im wondering, does anyone have a "hacked" firmware for this ptz camera 5.2.x or even latest available? Not trying to force a incompatible firmware but if someone successfully patched the firmware that would be nice... Thanks to anyone who can patch the Fw or I can use mtd hack if that's available

Edit: I checked the MTD blocks of camera and find my serial number in mtdblock3 instead of 5 and 6, I checked 4 too but I don't see serial number, I checked other except 0 and 1

EDIT 2: i flashed chinese 5.2.8, edited mtdblock3, returned the patched one, and it worked!!! you only need to do mtdblock3 for R3 PTZ, same thing as said on the original mtd hack forum post, change 02 to 01 and match the checksum

Note: I don't know if it will apply for all r3 ptz cameras, so proceed with caution, but for me it worked for both my DS-2DF5274-A cameras
