Got a used older e40 (gen 1 reports version 0.10) and upgraded to the 2.23.14 firmware available here. Ran ezcrc01 successfully on my modified conf file, but when I go to use the net installer it tells me the .fif I created has a file format error when loaded into the installer, specifically "Missing camera macro file" from the log. The files created were the e8.cfg and the batch file pointing to it, and since those correspond to the other camera series, I tried renaming it to conf.cfg and renaming the batch contents, but it hasn't liked it yet. Is this a candidate for the manual crc01 method instead?
Also had some trouble doing a full backup over ftp, since several windows files and a database file were not accessible when the camera was on. Anyone run into that before?
Ha! I'm a fool and I'll share it in hopes of solving someone else's upgrade:
I zipped the whole folder and not just the contents, making the file structure unexpected and making the error. Zipped the contents properly and it worked first try. Unlocked the resolution, the 4x zoom, and decreased the added noise to 35 (I saw it mentioned as a good baseline for high end models).
Also worth mentioning that in my original conf.cfg file, there were two duplicate resIR lines next to each other, I changed both to the new one and it works well.
Coming from a 9Hz camera this beauty is night and day! Also for being a bit heaver than my U5855A, the ergonomics actually make it feel a bit better in my hand.
