A description of how to do the 'enhanced mtd hack' with screenshot with a list of devType codes for those cameras that have the masqueraded values.A required resource list and step-by-step guide to the fixup script.The brick-fix tool V2 in both EN and CN header language versions ( brick_fixv2.zip).Attached to this post are the resources required to convert your R0 / DS-2CD2x32 cameras into full English upgradeable devices.The Brick-fix toolV2 automatically writes a valid template into mtdblock1 that stops cameras that originally had firmware 5.2.0 or 5.2.8 from otherwise going into a bricked state when newer firmware is applied.The fixup script handles all the basics of extracting the original mtdblock6, importing and applying the user-modified mtdblock6 that has had the 'enhanced mtd hack', and initiating a firmware update.No web GUI access or Windows shares are needed to move files in and out of the camera.After Brick-fix toolV2 has been installed using the Hikvision tftp updater, following the power cycle to activate and drop the payload, the camera will boot directly into 'min-system' mode with telnet and tftp access and a 'fixup' script ready and primed for use.So here is 'Brick-fix tool V2' aimed at making the process less complex, a bit automated and easier to use, with the following changes: txt attachments were in Linux format, not Windows format, making them hard to read without proper line breaks. * And I only just noticed this - my original.

The original 'brick-fix tool' and 'enhanced mtd hack' has proven pretty useful for those with R0 cameras that had been bricked by doing a firmware update.
