Hey folks,

Can you help me out here? :| My 5D3 is dead, stuck on firmware update.



Here's the story behind it:
I purchased it 6 months ago, almost new (7k shutter count). Was working fine with Magic Lantern for 4 months or so. Very minimalist usage. Didn't shoot much.

So for two months I was using it only in video mode (with ML, without ML) and it was fine if we don't count occasional ERR 80 showing up.

Few days ago I decided to remove Magic Lantern and install latest Canon firmware (1.3.4), I did the standard ML uninstall procedure (I've installed/removed ML on many cameras in the past years, so I know how it's done). After uninstalling ML, camera still "worked" as described above.

But, after starting firmware update it stuck at 9% and I'm not able to resolve that issue with 5 different batteries I have and 4 different cards (both CF and SD) since then.

My question is, is there any way I can bypass this issue and install firmware on my camera again? I'm OK with malfunctioning/only video mode working and regretting the moment I started this fucking firmware update.

P.S. The added problem is there's no official canon service center in my country.

Is there any way to specify a custom width/height of recording resolution
or at least set width wider than 1856px?

Note: I encountered over the internet that there're some videos shot on 1880px width, but I can't seem to find how to set that on latest nightly build.
