- I am on the latest firmware
- My CF card is bootable
- i have the right ML version for my camera
When I install Magic Lantern, the screen says it installs find and please reboot the camera, but after I reboot the camera, everything is just stock-Canon. Pressing the delete key doesn't bring up any menus, and there is nothing anywhere that is ML-related. I can do the firmware update again, and the same thing happens: success, reboot, nothing. I have searched for this same issue and can't find anyone discussing this. My camera is fine, it's not bricked. Every component of my camera works, it's just stock Canon.
I am sure the CF card is bootable, because the ML installer TELLS me it is, and says " bootable - 1 " in the upper corner before restart. The update isn't sticking for whatever reason.
Someone please help, I am at my nerve's end with this project. Thanks.
Just to make sure: You are rebooting your cam *before* timeout?
If so: Use another CF-card. Don't use SD-to-CF-adapters!
Yep, camera says i have about 55 seconds to reboot, and I reboot way before that. I will try a new CF card, what is the logic, maybe the transfer speed isn't fast enough? I will retry and let you know
Nah, speed might not be a problem here.
Just to humour me:
- Format card in cam
- Copy extracted nightly build contents to card
- Run firmware update
- Turn cam off when asked for reboot.
- Wait a few seconds
- Startup cam and wait some seconds
- Press trashcan button again.
Result? If ML doesn't come up:
Use EOScard (Windows) or Macboot (MacOS) to make card bootable. Insert card into cam, startup and report result.
