Hello team,
I have managed to brick my CAMLINK CL-AC40 camera by flashing a different firmware.

Allwinner V3

lzm
Short id:
weixing
OEM id:
camlink
Camera type:
6182
FW orig. date:
20170915
FW mod. date:
20171018
Camera name:
CL-AC40

20170915V3.3
LCD model:
gc9305
LCD resolution:
320x240

1
Sensor model:

I have a backup and I also have uploaded it to this website.

I am attempting to unbrick it using Phoenix Suite v1.10 but it does not detect the device.
the computer detects the device and loads the drivers

But the phoenix suite does not detect it an at all ;(

The device is completely dad. only from time to time, when I connect i can see the battery red LED lighting up. and the USB device then appears in device manager

Any help how to try to unbrick it would be helpful.

Also I have created an IMG file from my backup using makeimg

Thank you
Stichas

Hello everyone.

managed to recover it.
the trick is to put PhoenixSuite into forced upgrade mode and the play with POWER+UP buttons top start upgrade
See atached image.

This can now be archived for future generations

Kind regards
