Hi everyone,
I have a DS-KV6113-WPE1(C) firmware V2.2.65 build 230703 (grey market, Hikvision UK refused support).
What I have tried:
TFTP recovery - Device boots to 192.0.0.64, PC set to 192.0.0.128, digicap.dav ready, firewall off. Device never contacts TFTP server. No entries in Tftpd64 logs.
SD card - FAT32, digicap.dav only file. Device boots normally and writes its own files to SD card. Firmware not loaded.
UART serial (CP2102, pin 2=TX, pin 3=RX, pin 4=GND on JP4 connector, 115200 baud) - Successfully connected, can see full boot log. Gets to PSH shell with # prompt. Only 4 commands available: getHardInfo, help, Debug, sandbox. No cat, no passwd, no file access.
Debug command - Shows challenge code CAAAAAhUESrXxBy9fCo= but requires RSA key from Hikvision. Not possible for grey market.
U-Boot - Any key press during boot goes directly to TFTP upgrade menu. Cannot get normal U-Boot prompt. TFTP upgrade menu asks for device IP and server IP but never contacts server - loops asking for IPs repeatedly.
SADP password reset - Only shows "Import File" option, no security code field. Requires encrypted XML file from Hikvision.
Device details:
Has anyone managed to reset password or load firmware on this specific model/firmware version? The TFTP upgrade menu network issue seems to be a known problem (saw similar report on page 24 of this thread) but no solution was posted.
I also tried upgrading via SD card (FAT32, 16GB) with both V2.2.65 build 230703 and V2.2.77 build 240515 firmware downloaded directly from Hikvision UK portal:
The device detects the file correctly
mount ok,
/mnt/upgrade/digicap.dav exist,
/mnt/upgrade/digicap.dav start upgrade
but immediately fails with: file numbers invalid:-16580608, seem firmware not seeked, /mnt/upgrade/digicap.dav upgrade fail retVal:2
Error -16580608 = 0xFF030000 in hex. Both firmware versions produce identical error. Card is freshly formatted FAT32 before each attempt, single file only.
Has anyone seen this "file numbers invalid" error before? Is there a specific SD card size requirement or a different file format needed for this model?
Any help appreciated!
