If you have a 4.5.2 motherboard:

The most recent Creality stock firmware for the 4.5.2 board was released on 28 Jan 2021.

CAUTION: Three of the files in the DWIN_SET folders in that download contain chinese characters in their filenames. The display will not flash filenames with chinese characters. [The touchscreen may not operate, for instance.]

You should, however, be able to flash DWIN+SET to your display, if you instead follow these instructions:

  1. Navigate to https://www.creality.com/pages/download-cr-6-se download the following firmware file: CR-6SE 32bit mainboard+screen firmware new 20211112 28 Jan. 2021
  2. Unzip the file
  3. Navigate to: CR-6SE 32bit mainboard+screen firmware(C & E version) firmware\V4.5.2 mainboard -(C & E version) firmware
  4. Flash the motherboard with file CR-6SE-V1.0.3.6.bin, from that directory
  5. Open the DWIN_SET folder in that directory
  6. Delete the chinese characters from these three (3) filenames in that folder: T5LCFG272480硬件配置文件.CFG 13触控配置文件.bin 14变量配置文件.bin
  7. Flash the display with the modified (only english character filenames) DWIN_SET folder

If you have a 4.5.3 or 1.1.0.3 motherboard:

If your motherboard is actually a Creality 4.5.3 or 1.1.0.3 motherboard, the most recent firmware download available at that site is: CR-6 SEHW4.5.3SW2.0.1.9_20220516, dated 28 Nov. 2022. None of the DWIN_SET files in that download contain chinese characters, so the above advice for owners with the 4.5.2 motherboard does not apply.

Instead, you should download and unzip the 28 Nov 2022 release (2.1.0.9), and:

  1. Navigate to CR-6 SEHW4.5.3SW2.0.1.9_20220516\
  2. Flash the firmware bin file CR-6 SEHW4.5.3SW2.0.1.920220507.bin to the motherboard. (Remember to rename the file, if you need to flash it more than once.)
  3. Observe whether the serial number underneath the bar code on the display PCB T5L heatsink is higher or lower than 220106.
  4. If the serial number is lower, flash the DWIN_SET from DWINOLD to your display. If the serial number is higher than (or equal to) 20220106, then flash the DWIN_SET from DWIN20220106 to your display.
