C425 camera bricked after automatic firmware update – red LED blinking twice
I installed a C425 camera yesterday and it was working perfectly.
During the night, the camera performed an automatic firmware update and after that it completely stopped working.
Now it only shows a red LED blinking twice, does not connect to the app, and does not respond to any commands.
I have already tried:
- Physical reset (multiple times, following the correct procedure 10s)
Nothing worked.
I am absolutely certain the issue was caused by the automatic firmware update, which appears to have corrupted the firmware. The camera has less than 24 hours of use.
Important note:
This camera was purchased while traveling, so returning or exchanging it is not an option. I really need a technical solution to try to recover it.
Questions for anyone familiar with this model:
- Does the 2 red LED blink pattern indicate a firmware or boot error?
- Is there any way to manually reinstall the firmware, for example via microSD, recovery mode, or another method?
- Are there any official or unofficial procedures to try to “unbrick” the camera?
⚠️ Warning to others:
I strongly recommend disabling automatic updates, as in my case the update turned a brand-new camera into a brick.
Any technical guidance would be greatly appreciated.
