How to flash Thumb Pro-W(NEW VERSION-BIGGER FOV) via computer when it could not be turned on?

1.Download the icatch and "download" files first, unzip and install the driver. (They could be found at the bottom of this article)

2.Then, disassemble the camera, and hook up the microUSB connector of the USB cable to the camera but don't plug the USB-A side to the computer;
Use a pair of metal tweezers to make the 2 pins short-circuited, and keeping them being shorted, plug the USB-A connector to the computer;

3. Check the device manager on the computer. Under USB Controllers, if there are two icatch entries, it means that the camera gets detected by the computer successfully, and you could remove the tweezers to release the short, and move to the next step;

If there are no icatch devices displayed, it means that the computer does not detect and the short-circuiting is not successful. 

Ensure that the used USB cable supports both powering and data transfer. Please unplug the USB cable from the computer, short the pins again and re-plug the USB-A into the computer.
It may need to try several times to make it short-circuited successfully.

 

4. When you succeed in making it detected, go to the " Download" file folder that you
unzipped earlier, run FRM.exe program.
