v2 bricked?

[ryny24]

I'm trying to recover a v2 that was running wz_mini but I accidentally formatted the SD card within the app. It wouldn't come back online, so I tried the Wyze setup again without an SD card. It keeps saying Unable to connect to network but I just did this with a few OG camers which worked fine.

I've also tried the Wyze recovery demo.bin, but I can never get the blue light to come on while holding the setup button.

Every time it boots with a blank SD card, it creates a ".wz_mini_initramfs" file. And in the file, it says it's booting stock but

• echo 'wz_mini not found, booting stock' wz_mini not found, booting stock
• mount --move /dev /wz/dev
• mount --move /sys /wz/sys
• mount --move /proc /wz/proc
• cp /tmp/wz_mini_initramfs.log /sdcard/.wz_mini_initramfs.log

I also tried to perform the wz_mini setup again, by cloning the repo but when I run ./compile_image.sh it fails about a missing URL.

build for v2 wget: missing URL Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try `wget --help' for more options. md5sum: ./v2_ro/demo.zip: No such file or directory md5sum: ./v2_ro/demo.zip: No such file or directory md5sum failed check, please manually supply file

Any thoughts on what to try next?

Thank you!

I need to look back at the V2 setup. I recall having to copy the Wyze firmware file locally so that the installer could find it since it doesn't seem to find the URL.

Just checked my laptop. Had to download the Wyze firmware file and rename file to demo.zip to the V2_install directory, then run the script.

@ryny24 did you ever figure this out?
