Eken Action Camera Official Firmware
Official source for the latest firmware
Eken supply firmware for their H2, H2R, H3, H3R, H8, H8R, H9 and H9R cameras via the following site:
The "R" camera versions come with a remote control.
Selecting the right file
Some camera models (like the H9) have multiple possible firmwares, because there is more than one version of the camera, using different LCD chipsets.
The Eken H9 comes in "Type 1" using the ST7789S chipset, and "Type 2" using the ST9341 chipset.
To determine your camera's type, you can either crack it open and look at the screen driver, or use a site like Eken H9 Bricked which lists a mapping between firmware versions and camera types.
Type 1 H9 cameras, came delivered with Firmware Version: 150826, 150910, 150910SJ, 150928, 150928SJ, 151005, 151005SJ, 151009, 151103, 151103SJ, 151128, 151128SJ, 151204, 151208, 151208SJ, 151229, 151229SJ, 160108, 160108SJ, 160421SY Type 2 H9 cameras, came delivered with Firmware Version: 150911, 150911RJ, 150914, 150914LY, 151010, 151015, 151127, 151207, 151228LY, 151230, 160106, 160108, 160108LY, 160222, 160304, 160309LY, 160309LY(4k25), 160326, 160421LY http://www.eken-h9-bricked.co.uk/SelectType1Type2Unknown.html
If in doubt, you can proceed with the Type 1 firmware, which will either work (because you have Type 1) or white the screen of your Type 2 camera. If this happens, just flash the Type 2 firmware and the display will be restored.
Finding your current firmware version
This is displayed in the camera's settings menu. There's a "Version" option. It will look something like:
ActionCam H9 151230
Which is a Type 2, Eken H9.
Flashing the firmware
Download and extract the file from Eken, copy
SPHOST.BRN to the root of your MicroSD card. With the camera off, insert the SD card and turn it on.
The camera will display "Firmware Update..." for about two minutes, and then it will switch off (all lights and screen off).
At this point, it's safe to remove the SD card, delete the
SPHOST.BRN file, and put the card back in the camera.
Turn the camera on (it should be functional) and perform a "reset" (from the settings menu).
You can check the version to make sure you now have the latest firmware.
