I'm not even sure what software I'm supposed to download at this point. I've watched 6 different videos on installing ML and every single one shows a different version of the download page. One guy is downloading stable version 11.11.11 or some crap. another guy 2.2, etc. I wish I could find one damn good set of instructions to download & install this software. I've done many firmware updates on electronics. This is a joke. I'm fairly certain I have the same t2i running vsoftware ver 1.0.9 like everyone else. After 5 hours of this I'm just getting a bit tired of doing the same things over & over.

Where is the file last changed & exact file size listed? I pulled up properties and it says 473K.

What am I supposed to do with the checksum, etc? I told you my file says 474kb. If you are trying to be cryptic it's working.

This is what I read under troubleshooting for unified/install: If the camera asks for a firmware update, (which it does "says card must contain firmware update") place Canon firmware on the card (this was a problem in older versions). I copied the most recent firmware from canon e8kr7109.fir and copied it to the card. Back in the camera when I try to update it installs Canon ver1.09 back on the camera.

I don't understand your last post.When I look at the autoexec.bin I copied to the card it's 474KB. What are the other strings?

copied 550D-109.fir to the card & tried again "Fonts.Dat Not Found is the result.

I just did the Oct 7th build again. & when I went to firmware update it tells me I need a working firmware version on the card. Should I copy the firmware .fir file to the card from the first installation of ML2.3?

I first deleted the old one & ML folder & then copied both from Nightly build onto card.

Question: Do I put .zip file on card & unzip on card or unzip on PC & copy files ( what I've been doing)?

Did that & get fonts error.

Hi,
1st post here, I need some help installing ML on my T2i. I was running Canon Firmware 1.09. I downloaded, extracted & ran the ML ver 2.3 for the 550D/t2i. It said it was a success.  Then I downloaded the latest build 2014 Oct 07, tried to install it and get the Fonts. Dat Not Found Message. I tried leaving the .fir file on the card & continue to get this error.

I searched Fonts.Dat on the forum & read the results  but still haven't a clue what I'm doing wrong. I hope I provided enough info to get some help getting Magic Lantern updated & working.

Thank You,
Paul
