Hi, friends in this forum, I have a problem now, my 5d2 mirror cant lock up after using magic lantern firmware, started yesterday, I don't know why, first is my camera cant shooting raw file and I try many times to reinstall reboot firmware to my cam, after this, now is the problem I can't even open my live view mode (lock up my mirror). Can anyone fix this
Do you have your ROM files created during first installation backuped?
Do u meant after setting in my cam and I copy the whole ml file to my computer?
If yes ,yes I do
But how my live view cant work ?

Good!
Proper forum -> Camera Emergency Department
Proper procedure -> Waiting for the doctor (a1ex) to show up

That's a question for the doctor.
Health check-up: have you enabled LiveView in Canon menu? It's disabled by default in 5D2 firmware (also in 50D).
Refer to long installation guide: https://wiki.magiclantern.fm/install
Edit: this is a Canon quirk (their default settings are not always the least surprising (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment)), but working around it might be very easy - we could enable LiveView after ML installation. Or at each startup - are there any 5D2/50D users who prefer the LiveView permanently disabled?

First No ,
Why would you do that ?
How will ml run without liveview ?
In still photo mode, where you look through the viewfinder. I've used mine that way for some time, several years ago.
ML menus can come up outside LiveView, too, FYI.

The truth LOLOLOL, I can still remember I was so confused after I set my 5D2 into factory settings and cannot turn on the LiveView.
Very funny LiveView button is disabled by default in 5D2 and I think that is why they add a button just for turning on the LiveView in the future models. :P
