Custom firmware on this camera. This is not Android root.

How-to

How to

Flash Thingino open-source firmware (master branch) using the wltechblog SD-card installer, which uses the T41 mask-ROM secure-boot bypass (CVE-2026-50719), backs up stock firmware, and works on any stock firmware version; no SoC swap, UART or programmer needed (CH341A + SOIC8 is the fallback).

Follow the specialist sources linked on this page. If this path is a jailbreak, unlock, or flash, the specialist wiki is the how-to — we do not copy those steps here.

Notes

Ingenic T41 (T41NQ), not T31 like the v3; 4MP sensor is one of OS04D10, GC4653 or SC401AI. Thingino has OS04D10 and GC4653 profiles; OS04D10 is confirmed working.

Check the sensor before flashing.

Supported on Thingino master branch only (experimental); no weekly v4 builds yet. Known bug: flip settings not applied after reboot.

The SD-card installer saves a per-camera full-backup.bin; keep it to revert to stock.

Wyze: OEM cloud/app features (incl. color night vision) stop on custom firmware.
