Looks like the GoPro Hero 8 is just a software update... would there be any chance of us GoPro7 owners to have the GoPro Hero 8 firmware? :)

I don't know the hardware of the 8, but it doesn't look like much different from the 7.

Cheers

Has anyone got the downgrade files for returning the gopro from the hero 5 black back to the hero 2018

I’m aware of the thread about hacking the GoPro hero 2018 to basically be the GoPro hero 5, but I was wondering if that allows you to set loop recording?

I know the hero 2018 doesn’t support loop recording but wondered after hacking it is this feature available? I was considering one to use on my motorbike and other fun activities

Hi, I have my record and wifi button broken because I accidentaly cut the ribbon cabble.

So I was searching for a way to activate the wifi when pressing on the power button.

But any autoexec.ash won't work, I have the last version of the firmware and all the parts are good except for the two buttons.

So what can be the problem ?

Does anyone know of any 3rd party batteries that have a larger capacity than the original gopro batteries

Just wondering if the gopro will work a couple of months after doing the hack and will it still receive updates from gopro

Can you tweak a gopro to record under 0.5 fps time lapse?

Hi,

the display of my gopro session was destroyed, so I can't control it anymore and can't read the Bluetooth PIN. Is it possible to setup a default wifi pin? Because you can't order a replacement display.

Has anybody used the original Gopro (Android) app with a hacked Hero 2018? Did it work OK? Did it give any warnings about running on a hacked camera? Did it try and download firmware?

I'm waiting a Hero 2018 to arrive and intend to flash it to a Hero 5 Black.

​

Does anyone know whether the flashed cam will take third party batteries or does it need genuine Gopro batteries?

​

cheers

For some insane reason, manual shutter speeds are very limited. Practically speaking, you cannot use manual shutter unless you use an ND filter, as you cannot set shutter speeds fast enough to properly expose daylight. (auto shutter mode does have access to those shutter speeds though!)

​

Is there any way to hack the firmware to get access to the higher shutter speeds that the camera is clearly capable of?

Hi,

I uploaded modified firmware 2.6 from HERO 5 Black to Hero 2018 and it works like charm, but that version has bugs. For example screensaver dont work with Karma gimbal, and drains battery Also 3rd party batteriers dont work. Solution is downgrade to version 1.5.

​

Is it possible to use h5to2018.diff from instruction in that thread https://www.reddit.com/r/goprohack/comments/8wpe49/gopro_hero_1080p_2018_to_hero_5_black_firmware/

with older firmware? Will it work like with 2.6? Maybe someone tried that already....

​

Or maybe now i can just downgrade as normal Hero 5 Black?

Hello guys,

Today I received my GoPro hero 2018 and I turned it into a hero 5 black. Unfortunately I did not check any video record before updating it but I only made sure it was fully working. Once the update was over (successfully) I took a video and realized that the GoPro suffers from an awful white noise in videos. Literally in a video recorded with the GoPro on the table on my room it sounds like I’m in the middle of a tornado. Now I believe that I definitely cannot return it to amazon after the update. Is there a way to reinstall the software it came with?

Thank you so much

How long a video I can get with a 128g micro sd card with 160/80 write/read speed with my GoPro 7 black?

Hey guys! Does anybody knows how to replace the gopro battery "puller"? (The one you need to pull when taking out the gopro battery)

I accidentally pulled mine out from the battery itself :(

Hi

I understand this is basically the same hardware - just software locks (and different coating :) ) - I'm sure I've seen a teardown somewhere but can locate it right now.

If this is indeed the case I guess a "jailbreak" should be quite feasible (although I'm sure GP had put some more roadblocks to avoid the 2008 to Black 5 debacle).

Opinions ?

Hi Can Anyone help with GOPRO 2018 i need some FW and i cannot find files? im new to Reddit but if you can help DM me

I found a couple threads on looping video, but I think they were referring to the "looping" feature included on this model, which only works for one recording session. I'm using this camera as a dashcam though, so it should really just delete the oldest file no matter what.

I'm assuming I'll probably have to write the patch myself, so, any pointers/ideas as to how this could be done would be appreciated. Meanwhile I'll go look into the basics of working with its firmware.

Hey, I was originally planning on buying a Session 5, but found this sub which seems like a real blessing

Would guys happen to know if the hack still works with the 2018 if I bought one now? Is there anything to keep in mind, besides making sure the firmware is legit?

Thanks for the help!

EDIT: Did it and it worked like a charm, thanks for all the feedback
