do you have a xiaoyi yi? but the camera is in chinese? here's how you can change it to english, internationalversion unfortunately we can’t just install thefirmware we’ll need to change the serial number toa non chinese model first be aware this process can permanently brickyour device i am not responsible for any damages you’ll need a laptop or desktop computer, sd card reader, microsd card and a minimum1 amp microusb
charger to keep the camera powered the full instructions are available in thedescription let’s get started open up wordpad or another word processingapp next we’ll need the serial number from yourcamera it’s located in two locations check the white label on the bottom underthe qr code it’s also available inside the menu by going into settings and entering the informationscreen
if you use the serial number in the menu use only the first 14 characters write down the serial number into your wordprocessor then change the “cn†in the serial numberto “us†save this file as sn.txt make sure you select the .txt file extension save and close the program next we need to create a file to access engineeringmode this gives you access to additional hiddenoptions
in windows, go to your desktop and right click, go to new and select any file type and rename everything including the file extensionto just “engmode†this is how it should look after you’redone after, you’ll need your sd card and reader you may also need a microsd card adapter insert it and open the card we’re going to copy both previously createdfiles onto the root of your sd card
ideally the card should be formatted but ididn’t do it here insert the microsd card into the yi and then plug your charger into your camera this is important to ensure it won’t losepower and potentially destroy your device duringthe update once it turns on you should see the engineeringmenu scroll down and go to number 8, exit press ok now we’re going to enter the normal menu
scroll all the way to the end and select factoryreset this will reboot your camera and should changethe serial number once rebooted select exit again go back into the menu and check that the serial number has been changed tous good? ok turn off your camera remove the sd card and insert into your reader now, we’re going to format the card
i used the sd card association's program but you can use the built in windows one andformat to fat32 once complete, let's download the new internationalfirmware go to the b section and download the fwcarc10.binfile find the file and you’ll need to unzip it i use 7-zip this unzipped file should be around 8 to 9megabytes copy this file to your sd card you will now need to add the file extension.bin
now we’re going to insert this microsd card back into the camera and turn it on again, make sure you using a microusb charger to ensure your camera does not lose power at this point the yellow light at the bottom of the camera should start flash afterwards, it should reboot if you see english, congratulations it worked!
so, let’s finish up accept all the prompts until you see the regularscreen format the sd card in the camera, otherwise it’ll try to load the englishfirmware again you’re done, enjoy! this information was first posted by scoup,on dashcamtalk i just made the video i’ll try to keep the description updated with any changes
