Title: 5D II switches off while installing
Post by: palice on August 29, 2012, 07:20:05 PM
Hi!

I didn't find a similar subject in the forum:

My 5D II switches off while installing ML and I have to extract battery and card before being able to reanimate it.
I've tried twice and I'm scared to try again.

Any suggestions?

Thanks to all.

I'd suggest re-installing latest Canon firmware before trying again.

Thanks now it says something like "file error, extract the battery and the card before trying again"

There is an install guide, you need to follow it ;)

I did!
I also watched the video  ???

I had the right firmware, yet I upgraded it again, I copied LM on a formatted card and so on.
Sorry I'm not lazy, I simply really don't get what I'm doing wrong.

Update error means you should format the card from the camera.

Now it's working, thanks a lot.

(I did previously format my card in camera, I just did it again, as I reinstalled the same firmware. Don't get why but it was needed to redo everything).

thanks again
