16 Channel H.264 DVR ( Broken Firmware )

[ggenny 0]

Hello, sorry for my bad English.

 

I Have a 16ChDVR. I don't know REAL MANUFACTURER !

 

 

I had telnet access without any problems, and I corrupt the bootloader or the existing software ( kt_dvr process ) when trying to install my own version of the software, developed by me.

 

Now dvr stuck on Welcom screen. I noticed that the network card is active (even if no ip assigned) and the usb reads "something" if i insert an usb pen ....

 

The problem is that I do not have much experience with these embedded systems and their mechanism of boot. The system software was very similar to this:

 

 

I found online a procedure that would restore the firmware (the software "seems" to be it... seems.....), :

the dvr read the usb pen for 20 seconds and then show welcom boot image, and remains blocked ...

 

It is no longer under warranty ...

 

i have original image of all memory partition:

31 2 7168 mtdblock2

I do not care to restore my system to the setting of factory (if that is possible), I'd like a minimal version of Linux.

 

Thanks to all
