Resolution hack and Menu Hack success on a 2015 calibration E4, 2.3.0 firmware.
Remember: Back Everything Up Before Proceeding. I made 4 different backups in four different locations.
Used a Windows 8.1 32-bit OS Windows machine (x64 processor.)
For the most part, I used fubar.gr's FLIR e4 hacking guide. (
https://fubar.gr/hacking-the-flir-e4/)
Some differences in my install:
1. My E4 would not provide DNS for my windows 8.1 box. I had to manually set the IP address of my RNDIS network adapter to 192.168.250.1 and 255.255.255.0, no gateway and no DNS (

2. When using filezilla to connect to the Flir E4, I had to connect to IP address 192.168.250.2
3. I used janekivi's 2.3.0_menu_2014_EX_6_fix.zip file (
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/thermal-imaging/flir-e4-thermal-imaging-camera-teardown/msg577970/#msg577970) - attached to this post. I don't know why, but I had to use this specific version and not the version that was in fubar's site.
4. I used the 2.3.0_Menu.fif file in janekivi's 2.3.0_menu_2014_EX_6_fix.zip file, not the version that Fubar uses in his blog.
5. The first time you pull the trigger to take a photo, you'll get an error message saying that there's no image storage. This is ok. Just pull the trigger again after a few seconds and it will work. If it doesn't work, give it a few more seconds and try it again. It will work.
The end result is amazing. This thing is absolutely amazing now. The new functions and radiometric measurement just blows me away...and big thanks to everyone who made this a reality.
One more thing...if you want an easy way to record video from your FLIR E4, use FLIRInstall to disable RNDIS on your E4. Then, cold boot your FLIR, and verify that it connects as a USB drive to your PC (UVC mode).
Once this is done, open up the "Camera" app in Windows 8 and you'll see the FLIR E4's display mirrored on your PC. You can now record videos, time lapse, etc with no issues. Cheers
