a129plus - big problem with update

[coderiese]

hi
I bought brand new camera A129plus. I cant update this camera, I cant install modified software because a129 cant see the file on card
I used samsung evo card (32GB) and second , this same model .
Formatting in camera, file FWA129S.bin or FWE129S.bin

Nothing, zero reaction.
the camera is recording normally.

I replaced it with a new one - this same problem.



what am I doing wrong ?

thanks

Formatting in camera

Format the card on a computer.
Copy file FWA129S.bin to the root of MicroSD card.

I did that too...

Maybe the firmware is from another model?
The firmware from the simple A129 plus does not fit the A129 plus EMMC.

 

[coderiese]

look:

official Viofo site:

firmware for A129plus - FWA129S.bin




file on my card:




and... my camera:

I try with file FWE129S.bin (from official, international site)

Nothing

Flash version 1.0 first. Then 1.5

1.0 from official site ?

Ok, I tried this but no success

Try formatting the card with the GUI Formatter, then copy the file to the card.

Download FAT32format GUI (GUIFormat) 1.0.1.0

I changed the link. Now there is a folder with files and instructions. Try it.
I have Viofo A119v3 for almost 2 years and have never had any problems.

How are you powering it when trying to update?

I doubt there is anything wrong with the camera that is preventing the update.

With other brand cameras i have at times had problems updating with firmware on a large memory card, so i always use smaller memory cards like 32 / 16 GB for update of firmwares,,,, i have even used very old 4 and 8 GB cards for this too.

 

[Karagandinez]

I cant install modified software because a129 cant see the file on card

Where did you get the modified software?

 

[coderiese]

Where did you get the modified software?

from this forum but its not important because camera cant see official firmware too.

 

[Karagandinez]

Try the firmware from here. It's official.
