@Zerreth Apologies that was the case for you - I also had my 1080p model doing the same recently. Which model cameras are yours? The only way to recover was to re-flash with any previous version e.g., from any available here and flashing back to baseline So far, there are no camera storage problems, either rootfs or home partitions are okay, and when I went through the logs, my camera was indicating the ARP check failure. It has been working for a few days since, and I am monitoring it. |

I just had it happen again to one of my other working cameras when updating from 0.4.0 to 0.4.1a prerelease. So that's 3 out of 4 cameras. 😅 (update 5 Sept 2023, now 4/4 cameras!) |

@Zerreth have you used earlier v5 hack versions on those cameras? If so, there could be some artefact that impacts the latest baseline version. Mine is still working fine since reflashing and I hope it will stay this way. |

What watchdog service ? I'm not finding anything marked as such in system.sh (0.4.1c) # Upgrade wpa_supplicant modules
ifconfig wlan0 up
if [ -f $YI_HACK_PREFIX/wpa/wpa_supplicant ]; then
echo "---backing up wpa---"
cp /home/base/tools/wpa_supplicant $YI_HACK_PREFIX/wpa/wpa_supplicant_backup
cp /home/base/tools/wpa_cli $YI_HACK_PREFIX/wpa/wpa_cli_backup
cp /home/base/tools/wpa_passphrase $YI_HACK_PREFIX/wpa/wpa_passphrase_backup
killall watch_process
killall wpa*
mv /tmp/sd/yi-hack-v5/wpa/*.so* /home/lib/
mv /tmp/sd/yi-hack-v5/wpa/wpa_supplicant /home/base/tools/
mv /tmp/sd/yi-hack-v5/wpa/wpa_cli /home/base/tools/
mv /tmp/sd/yi-hack-v5/wpa/wpa_passphrase /home/base/tools/
reboot

No joy, now it stays orange for a while, then blinks blue and goes back to solid orange. (0.4.1c) Rinse and repeat. :) |

After reflashing the baseline, the camera is recording and connected to my network. However, the Web Interface is offline, SSH and FTP are also offline. The camera is responding to pings. Pulling the card shows new recordings in the folder. Is the issue with the boot loop that the wifi/networking needs to wait for other services to start? Could it be a timing issue? |

had a camera (1 of 6) just stop working and could not get to the Web Interface , SSH and FTP. The camera did responding to pings (works in the YI APP) so I manually tried flashing all the newer updates over and over and nothing worked, they would either boot loop or sometimes it just didnt work. |

0.3.8. You can leave theyi-hack-v5folder untouched as the baseline files are the most important.So far, there are no camera storage problems, either rootfs or home partitions are okay, and when I went through the logs, my camera was indicating the ARP check failure. It has been working for a few days since, and I am monitoring it.
