Factory Reset of RICOH THETA with Vysor

Camera Hardware and Software
2

Update: 4/25/2019

I had to use this technique again to reset my THETA V. I’m sharing the symptoms and solution to help others.

Problem

  • Camera plug-in management did not work with RICOH desktop app
  • Mobile app on Android could not send commands to THETA V
  • Wi-Fi API could not send full set of commands from desktop computer to THETA. Only a subset of the commands would work.

Solution

After reset using Vysor, everything started working again.

camera won’t pair with bluetooth and there are leftover files from dualfisheye RAW plugin

Update: 12/5/2023

This technique worked with the Z1 to solve these problems:

  • difficulty in pairing
  • leftover files from the dualfisheye and dual fisheye raw plugins

camera won’t boot and immediately shows error triangle with exclamation point

When I consumed all storage in my Z1 by taking 3 hour videos with the HDR Wireless Live Streaming plugin, my camera refused to boot. When everything failed and the camera couldn’t boot, I rebooted from the bootloader

adb shell
reboot bootloader
