I am running the nightly build from March 23, 2014 and was shooting today.  My camera ran into an Error 30 in the middle of my shoot then displayed I had a dead battery.  I removed the battery and replaced it with a fresh battery.  I shot five frames and the battery displayed it was dead again and the camera would not respond. 

I took the battery out and changed memory cards to one without ML and the battery was full and camera fully functional.   

Thank you for continuing to work on this amazing software!!

I too wish to take a moment to commend all of the ML developers, especially g3gg0, for bringing this break through software to my 7D.  It has opened up possibilities that would only be available to me at significantly higher cost of equipment replacement.  I've shot some of my favorite photos since installing the software. 

Your work is appreciated and recognized for it's innovation!

You are my Christmas hero g3gg0!  Thank you for continuing to work out Alpha 2

I want to pop back in a express my gratitude to g3gg0 and the other ML developers for continuing their work on the 7D alpha.  Most of the time my excitement to see alpha 2 is ebullient, which my girlfriend will attest to.   However, she is a photographer too, so she understands.   

Thanks again!!

I recently prepared my 5D Mark II for magic lantern unified 2.3 install which required me to update the canon firmware to 2.1.2 on the camera first.  After successfully installing canon firmware 2.1.2 and ML 2.3 on a blank compact flash card, I realized that I have three compact flash cards in ML 2.1 (the version prior to 2.3 which does not run on canon firmware 2.1.2).   

When I try to start the camera with these compact flash cards containing the old version of ML it won't boot.  I believe this is due to the fact the old version of ML is not compatible with the new canon 2.1.2 firmware I installed for the ML 2.3 upgrade. 

Long story short, I am trying to figure out how to format the three compact flash cards with the old version of ML so that I may reinstall ML 2.3 on them.  However, everything I read states I need to do this in camera with a low level format to "remove magic lantern" and not by formatting the compact flash cards on the computer.  But the cards are not accessible by the camera anymore!

Is there a way to format these cards outside of the camera so that I may use them again?  I would hate to lose these cards due to not formatting and removing ML from them before I proceeded with the upgrade to ML 2.3 and canon 2.1.2 firmware. 

Any help is greatly appreciated.
