Title: Possible to see if ML is already installed?
Post by: groove on November 09, 2015, 04:20:42 PM

Recently bought a T2i from Craigslist. Previous owner said he had used ML in the past but had formatted the card. Is there a way to verify that step one of the install process doesn't need to be done? Thanks

You can make the card bootable by using EOScard or MacBoot.
And if he only formatted the card cam's bootflag is set. He didn't run uninstallation.

EDIT: You can just run installation and wait for timeout to wipe cam's bootflag and make card non-bootable. Shortest/easiest way.

So just proceed from 'Second install' listed http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=13111.0 (http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=13111.0) there? Sorry, some of this terminology is confusing to me.

Top of page -> Downloads -> Download nightly builds.
Format card in cam, copy extracted contents to card and run firmware update.

I made the card bootable with EOScard, then copied the nightly build to my card. Seems to be working now. Did I miss anything? Thanks for the help! :D

No, just get used to a new cam and don't get lost in menu jungle! ;-)
