can anyone confirm that the current build has sticky half shutter?

Yes it does, I yet have to upgrade to latest build though.

seems like development for the camera has stopped. probs I can test some fresh builds for the sake of pointing out errors (well at least trying to lol)

Cycling through the different layouts using the DISP button (is that what you meant for the 1200D; it has no INFO button) doesn't help.

I am on 20180504 build, only hiding the Canon overlays makes the ML overlays appear.
Also, I saw the latest 20180705 build fail one of the tests, which one failed? (site only shows beforementioned 20180504 build)

Where is @vanbov and @matija and some of the other users that have a 1200D and can compile?

well I'm here but the camera isn't, sadly. (yet)

Turns out OP had the boot flag disabled

yeah that's a bummer. sent it to my local repair shops to try to either reflash the ROM or to change out the logic board.

@Raov - hope your 1200D comes back to life with the new firmware.

i hope it will, cant wait to test the new build

Heard from @dterrahe who sent me the 1.0.2 firmware dump that the camera passed the selftest module Stubs API test with a perfect score.

thats some real fast progress.

unless the battery door microswitch is defective

probably, i had my SD slot replaced.

So, when you say that the camera shows no signs of life--are you sure the battery is charged? Is the battery door closing properly? (Sounds like there might be an electrical contact problem there.) Have you tried starting the camera without the card? (If both the camera and card boot flags are set and there is no valid autoexec.bin file on the card the camera will not start.)

yes i did charge the battery.
tried to start it up without the card, nothing.
and even if the battery door is open, camera still turned on (when i had intact FW ofc)

upd: camera shows no signs of life, possible bootloader corruption.
asked a1ex about the issue, waiting for a answer

1200D.102 is up and running -- at least running in QEMU.

@Raov - The test build has the latest unified branch changes.

First test would be to activate the selftest module and run the Stubs API test.

great job, a1ex contacted me about the possible unbrick so i may test it out on real hardware when (and if) the unbrick will be successful.

in other words, I can look into it if (and only if) ML was installed previously on the camera.

it was, let me PM you the latest dumps i have

Otherwise, if service is not an option, this and this can be used as a last resort.

first link is useless for me, i dont have any battery grip pins.
second may help though.

okay so, I was trying to get a dump of 1.0.2 and while downgrading to 1.0.1 so i could make a bootflag on the camera (didnt know that you can do that on your pc yt) and while downgrading the battery holding mech for some reason failed and made the battery jump out of the camera. (also the SD card bay sensor was not working or always pulled high so the camera thought that the bay is closed) so i quickly plugged it back in and... begone $400, the camera is not booting up. not sure if the bootloader is corrupted because i remember the downgrade process being finished by 80% before the battery flew out.
any tips for restoring the firmware?

Thanks @dterrahe - starting a firmware update on the 1200D to the latest Canon 1.0.2:



I don't have access to a camera so I'm counting on 1200D user feedback on this. On other cameras these firmware update exercises have brought up some issues and shaken out some bugs so let's see what happens on this camera.

nice job my dude
also i have a 1200D maybe i can try some builds camera has a softbrick now, battery fell out while downgrading to 1.0.1

anyone porting 2018-02-28 release? kinda want new features introduced in the updates
