GoPro Hero 2 firmware downgrade to v124
After applying the latest firmware update to enable Protune mode I encountered a number of problems;
- Occasionally on startup the camera would hang showing the video icon and nothing else.
- In Protune video mode, the camera would not create a second video file after reaching a maximum file size of 1.85GB on the first file.
- Startup would take noticeably longer.
I've since downgraded the firmware back to the original version available to download here http://software.gopro.com/Firmware/v124/HD2-firmware.bin
After the firmware downgrade I had my reliable old camera back.

It seems that attempting to downgrade from 312 > 124 will brick your hero2. There is a method to recover (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ra705fHyrY YOUTUBE = 2ra705fHyrY), but it requires a PC rather than a Mac. I have dusted off an old PC, think the windows version is too old to work with the current gopro studio (W7+), I have been at it for an hour and wish I hadn’t tried to downgrade. be warned.
