  • In this little tutorial I'll teach u how to fix your GoPro session 4 and maybe it works on the 5 as well!
    Steps:
    1 Remove the sd card from your camera
    2 Format it
    3 Copy the two files from this download link on Facebook onto your sd card
    (Cannot find a way to upload on facebook yet, but simply create two .txt files, the first called "cal.txt" with "_tapp factory_reset" written in it, the second one named "no_shutdown.txt" with "2_mode=0" in it!)
    4 Put the sd card back into the camera
    5 Press the shutter button
    6 Wait like 8 seconds and it's gonna start flashing and doing its thing
    7 When it is done format your sd card again and your camera should work like a charm!!

    It doesn't work with my Hero4 Session. The problem is that my GoPro doesn't look like dead, but it doesn't read any micro SD and when I put one in, it says "busy" (but it's actually empty) and I have to force the turn off. Any suggestion?

      I'm stuck here too. Pretty sure GoPro has deliberately discontinued all support and compatibility, and essentially just bricked these devices, trying to force us to upgrade. Planned obsolescence at its finest.

      Mine too is kind of bricked at this point, doesn't react to resets anymore, maybe there is some internal circuit battery failing or stuff like that

How can I keep it from turning off ever ? please help me

      There should be an auto power off function in settings, 5,15,30 m or off , the battery in sessions is small and this is to save power, also try on the phone app if u don't find it in session menu

    для GoPro Hero4 Session нужно в обоих файлах после кода добавить по одной пустой строчке и сохранить файл, потом проверить,чтоб пустая строчка действительно была. Потом вставить карту памяти во включенную камеру со светящимся дисплеем и нажать на 7 секунд кнопку записи, после этого камера перезагрузится. если флэшку вставить в выключенную камеру - ничего не произойдет
