wz_mini_hacks

v3 devices ONLY

Run the latest stable firmware on your v3 cam and have root access to the device. This is in early stages of testing, use CAUTION if you are unsure of what you are doing. No support whatsoever is offered with this release.

Features

  • Modifies /dev/mtd2, changes the unknown root password to WYom2020, adds a hook to /etc/init.d/rcS to run a script ( /media/mmc/run_mmc.sh ) from the micro sd card 30 seconds after the camera has booted successfully.
  • Flashes the latest firmware during installation ( 4.36.8.32, as of this writing )
  • Enables SSH, telnet will be disabled after installation.
  • Add your own changes to run at boot into the script on the micro sd card located at /media/mmc/run_mmc.sh, mount nfs, run ping, whatever you want.
  • Ability to update to the latest stable or beta firmware, this mod should survive updates ( as long as the firmware update does not change /dev/mtd2.
  • Ability to block remote AND app initiated firmware updates.
  • An Internet connection is required to download and patch the files required for this to work.
  • Inspired by HclX and WyzeHacks, borrowed busybox and dropbearmulti from his v2 repo. Bless you for all your work! You are the master!

Setup

  1. Flash your v3 to 4.36.0.280, then use wyze hacks to get telnet running on your device.
  2. git clone the repo, then run ./setup.sh compile to generate the files to be copied to your SD card
  3. copy all the files inside of SD_ROOT to your micro sd card, then put the card in your v3.
  4. telnet to your device, then cd to /media/mmc
  5. run ./wz_mini_installer.sh, this will flash the modified partitions and enable ssh.
  6. The camera will reboot, then connect via the IP address of your device using SSH, port 22. username is root password is WYom2020.

On PC:

./setup.sh compile

On Device:

cd /media/mmc
./wz_mini_installer.sh

To disable automatic firmware updates, edit run_mmc.sh on your micro sd card, un-comment the lines following:

#echo "Disable remote firmware upgrade, uncomment lines below to enable"

If a remote or app update is initiated, the camera will reboot due to the failure of the update. The firmware update should not proceed again for some time, or at all again.
