Just wanted to follow up, as I found the problem.  It turns out that the ability to install ML (at least on my 5D MKIII) is SD card sensitive. I was originally using an 8GB SanDisk card which didn't work with ML, but when I replaced it with a 32GB HP card, I was able to install and run ML just fine.

I have no idea why this should be!  I'm not using the SD card for recording, just to hold the ML program. I formatted the original card both in the camera, on my computer, and the card just wouldn't work with ML (although I could use it to hold photo files etc just fine...).

Just wanted to throw this solution out there in case anybody else runs across this problem; try using another brand of SD card!

When I first upgraded to 1.21 with firmware I got from Canon''s website, a message on the screen said that the firmware could not be downgraded. That turned out to be false; I could easily downgrade to 1.13.

Anybody have any ideas on a possible solution on my not being able to use the RAW nightly builds, but Alpha 3 works fine?  I really could use the RAW capability again!

I'm having a similar problem. I used to have a nightly build on my camera, and RAW worked perfectly. I temporarily upgraded the firmware to 1.21 to do a video shoot, and then downgraded back to 1.13 (obtained from  the Cinema5D site). After I did this, the nightly build wouldn't run at all after performing the firmware update with ML.

I have downloaded the latest nightly build (Aug 2, 2013), and this won't work at all either. After performing the ML firmware upgrade process, I get the "bootflag enabled" notice and a smiley face. Checking the firmware, I see the ML firmware is installed. Everything as it should be except that when I press the trashcan to bring up the menu, nothing....

The weird thing is that I can install the Alpha 3 build and it works perfectly!

Any ideas?????

I am being totally unsuccessful in installing the nightly builds; I run the firmware updater and the screen finishes by displaying the "enable bootflag" and smiley face, but pressing the trashcan button does not bring up the Magic Lantern menus. I restart the camera, and still no dice (If I understand correctly, you have to now do the firmware update process every time the camera is turned on.....).

I've been trying to install so I can shoot raw again: I did have a previous nightly build installed and was able to shoot RAW without any problems.

I upgraded the Canon 5D MKIII firmware to 1.21 temporarily for a shoot, but then downgraded back to 1.13 so I could use ML again - that's when I was unable to re-install the RAW nightly builds.

I might add that I can install the Alpha 3 version (without RAW) and it works fine.

Any ideas?
