YI 1080p Home Camera YYS.2016 not compatible?

[querex007]

1080p home camera not compatible?
Orange led is not flashing after SD card insert + power on.

Information on the back of the Yi product box:
Product name: YI 1080p Home Camera
model: YYS.2016
Date: 2020.11
FCC ID: 2AFIB-YYS2016
IC: 20436-YYS2016
DID: BFUS...

Current firmware version: 9.0.19.02_202007141512

I guess I need to use the version "Yi 1080p Home | rootfs_y20 | home_y20"
I've tested the last 3 release versions, but it does not show any custom features.
SD card is formatted OK (< 32GB + fat32)
Orange led is not flashing after SD card insert + power on.

Maybe someone can confirm that yi-hack-v5 is not compatible with hardware model YYS.2016 or firmware version 9.0.19.02_202007141512?
Many thanks.

Hello querex007,

do you have the DID eg. 4FUS.. ?

I have the YI Home Camera 3 with DID
4FUSY25..
model YYS.2518

and I'm able to use
roleoroleo / yi-hack-MStar
https://github.com/roleoroleo/yi-hack-MStar

Maybe you want to try this variant.

Many thanks for the advice, I have a listed model "DID: BFUS...".
I tried the MStar version for my model, but the camera won't replace it's firmware.
It always boots into normal mode, SD card should be OK <32gb, cleared all with diskpart, created FAT32 partition, put the correct files for my model on it.
Maybe they have locked custom firmware in this newer firmware version :( (version 9.0.19.02)

I have the same cam and have no luck yet in flashing a custom firmware. If I succeed I'll post how.
