STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS for Flir E4 (Firmware 2.3.0) for beginners (How I did it... and it worked)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(If somebody finds an error in this procedure, please tell me immediately and I will correct it)
- Get FlirTools from Flir website (free download) PC version recommended
(Note: V5 does not work on Win XP...)Get 4.1 here:http://cdn.cloud.flir.se/update/flir tools/4.1.14066.1001/flir tools.zip- Install FlirTools on your PC
- Get the files "Set_RNDIS_temporary.fif" and "Set_RNDIS_permanent.fif" from this forum
here.
- If you want to use the "permanent" file, you also need "remove_RNDIS_Permanent.fif"
(Temporary.fif sets the USB of your cam to RNDIS mode UNTIL A REBOOT. Permanent does the same but it stays in RNDIS until YOU RUN
REMOVE.fif)
- Get E4 hack "
v04.zip" for Version 2.3.0
here.
- I assume that the installation of FlirTools does also install the camera driver. If not install it manually. Links are found in this thread
- Get PYTHON version 2.x (not version 3.x!) from the Python website and install it. This is needed to run the hack script. It's a programming language.
- Connect your E4 via USB to your PC and turn it on
- Go to "Programs(x86)/Flir systems/Flir Tools/bin and execute FLIRInstallNet.exe (this is part of the FlirTools software installed in step 2)
- Select the
Set_RNDIS_xxxxxxx.fif (permanent or temporary) and click RUN FIF button.
(A timeout error is normal after the command has succeeded because USB is now set to RNDIS mode)
(On mine I had to disconnect and hard reboot for the change to show up.... which meant I had to use the permanent file. I had to use a win 8 PC. After the Hard reboot I moved to a win XP PC)- Wait a moment and open a CMD window, then enter IPCONFIG
- An additional network connection should be listed with IP Address 192.168.0.1 and gateway 192.168.0.2
- Enter "FTP", then "open 192.168.0.2" and a connection to your cam should be established
- Login with user "flir" and password "3vlig"
- Issue a "dir" command and the files and directories of your cam are listed.
- If all that works, type "quit" to exit and close ftp connection.
- copy the hack files from the
v04.zip into the PYTHON folder.
- open CMD, use the command cd and go into python folder and enter "python apply.py apply 192.168.0.2"
- it will read two files from your cam and stores them in a backup folder, then it will do some magic with the files.
- you will find newly created conf.cfc and common_dll.dll in that folder and upload them back to the camera.
- In case you get an error 500 at the upload, you have to upload the files manually by FTP:
*** Only in case of error 500 ***
- Open CMD and FTP again and connect to your camera as before
- go to the indicated folders (cd /foldername/foldername/foldername)
- check the folder with "pwd" to make sure you're in the right one
- Use the lcd command to change to your local directory where the conf and common files are.
- put the files to the correct folders (put filename)
MAKE SURE YOU PUT THE RIGHT FILES INTO THE RIGHT FOLDER!!!
***------***
- Reboot your cam by removing/inserting the battery
- Be happy!!!
- It is possible that the measuring spot is off center after reboot. Turn the spot off/on in the setup menu of the cam and it should be centered.
