It's a damn shame to have companies lock you out of there products functions and whatnot. I applaud the reverse engineers who made this possible. I sure as hell wouldn't have thought about doing this ha. But, at least you got yourself a badass little camera now. :-) Now, we sit and wait to see what the new Hero 7's can do. Or reverse the Hero 6, to a 7. Who knows. I think the chiipsets, and boards are different. I honestly couldn't tell you.

To revert to Hero 2018 is easy. Get the latest Hero 2018 firmware from the "manual update" option on the gopro website and then decompress those files to a folder called 'update_revert'. THEN from the cracked version (at the link above), copy the "fwupdate.txt" and the "hd5_update" files into the update_revert folder. Copy the update revert folder to an SD card and rename it to "update"....and then stick it into your camera. It will restart 3 or 4 times....but will completely revert.
