Yi 1080p Cloud Dome stuck

[whitecat]

Based on your description, here's the filled-out bug report:

Describe the bug
After installing custom firmware (rootfs_y19 home_y19 1.9.3.0E_201812141519), the Yi 1080p Cloud Dome camera enters a continuous boot/connection loop. The camera flashes yellow, rotates back and forth, flashes blue, then returns to yellow status in a repeating cycle every 1 minute. After manual restart, the camera can scan QR codes and appears to connect to WiFi successfully but after 30 seconds returns to the prompt "waiting to connect" state with alternating yellow/blue flashing patterns.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install firmware files 'rootfs_y19 home_y19 1.9.3.0E_201812141519' on Yi 1080p Cloud Dome camera
2. Power on the camera
3. Observe the yellow flash → rotation → blue flash → yellow flash cycle repeating every ~1 minute
4. Press restart button on camera
5. Attempt to connect via Yi-Camera app using QR code
6. Camera shows "QR code scan successful, connecting to wifi" but fails to complete setup

Expected behavior
The camera should boot normally after firmware installation, complete the WiFi setup process successfully, and remain connected without entering boot loops or connection failures.

Screenshots

Set Up Details (please complete the following information):

• Firmware Version: 1.9.3.0E_201812141519 (rootfs_y19 home_y19)
• Device: Yi 1080p Cloud Dome
• Model: Serial 5FUS*

Additional context
This appears to be a firmware compatibility or installation issue. The camera can partially complete the connection process (QR scan success, WiFi detection) but fails to maintain stable operation. The repetitive 1-minute cycle suggests a watchdog timer or firmware rollback mechanism may be triggering.

Technical Details

• Custom firmware package: rootfs_y19 home_y19 1.9.3.0E_201812141519
• LED behavior pattern: Yellow → Blue → Yellow (1-minute intervals)
• Connection app: Yi-Camera mobile application
• Post-restart behavior: "Welcome to Yi home camera. Waiting to connect" message with persistent yellow LED

It seems you need simply delete or hide rootfs and homfs after first boot.

Any idea how do hide those? Like start it with the card then remove the card after start and delete those folders and put it in again?

[liutas4x4]

Yes. Or by terminal.
