Title: ML isnt downloading onto my camera...
Post by: twenty10films on August 08, 2012, 11:47:08 PM
I did everything the tutorial said to do, but my camera doesnt boot up with that "green screen", and i have been waiting for about 4minutes now even though the tutorial said it should take a quick second

Same here.  Using the latest firmware 1.0.9 and fully charged battery.  Doesn't work on two different SDHC cards (4 & 32 GB).  Throws error

On the 32GB class 10 I get:
Firmware update program
Update file error.  Please check the memory card and reload the battery and try again.

On the 4GB it just goes black and I get a blinking red light.

Afraid I'm going to fry my camera.  Just paid for v 2.3 and out of ideas.

This doesn't help much, but...
I had no problem with my T2i.
Accidentally deleted after using ML by mistake during a format and re-installed no problem.
Review your steps. Maybe missed something.
Don't confuse, format vs firmware update, I did.

the same thing happened to me that happened with your 4gb, have you been able to install it yet?

From my experience, you have to update the firmware to 1.0.9 or reinstall the 1.0.9 firmware. It has to be updated at least once.
