Hello all & @VIOFO-Support @viofo
Need some ideas regarding the ongoing problem with my A129 Duo dashcam. I am trying to reflash the firmware to deal with parking mode problems. But the camera simply refuses to read the firmware bin file in the SD card. The camera came with firmware A129:V2.2 BUILD:20210908.
I tried V2.3_20200328 from https://viofo.com/content/40-viofo-a129-duo-dash-cam-support/. I also tried V2.2_20201217 from https://support.viofo.com/support/solutions/articles/19000087812-viofo-a129-duo-dash-cam-firmware.
I don't even understand what is the difference between FWA129N.bin & FWA129.bin. Clues anyone??
I have tried all methods, using PC, using Dashcam or using a SD card reader to load the file. I followed all steps, including the reset to factory conditions step everyone talks about.
My biggest issue is after i load the firmware in the card root & I connect the dashcam to a power adapter, there is no blinking process. The camera simply goes to normal recording mode. The bin file in the sd card gets never deleted. Tried with different SD cards too.
I am stuck here, i have raised the ticket with viofo, but they are asking the usual questions like did you wait enough before ejecting, did u download the right file etc.
Can someone suggest a way around? Can someone share me a good firmware file for the A129 Duo please?
