It does not matter, when the bootflag is on it refuses to boot when the EYE FI card is in, guess it tries to boot from
the EYE FI card and the card uses the boot sector for starting up wifi.
#2
EYE FI cards does not work after the bootflag i set on 5D3, if you try another non EYE FI card the camera will boot as supposed.
Since A1ex want the users to wait until it's safe to remove the bootflag you have to wait.
I took the risk and removed the bootflag and after that my EYE FI card worked again.

Totally agree with nanomad, if you dont want to take a risk, please be patient and wait for a official ML release or go to your Canon service center to reset the bootflag , but remember your Camera's original functionality is not depending on the ML developers.

Maybe I'm totally out in the blue now. But A1ex and all the other guys are developing ML in their spare time, this means that they are doing this for fun and are dedicated to make something better with their own Canon equipment.
There is a lot of people that installs ML on their expensive cameras without reading the documentation that explains the risks. Why should the ML developers spend their spare time on people that are to lazy to read the documentation.
And I Believe that A1ex is giving a clue with his statement: Short answer: call("DisableBootDisk")
This call is to a function in the Canon firmware not to ML code, if you are scared, you can allways go to a Canon service center to reset the bootflag.
If you are a developer put this call into your own build of ML and you will reset the bootflag.
I have done it and it's works fine.
And remember, in the documentation it says in "RED" that you should be a Developer to run this version of ML and if you're not,, stay away.

Try to replace    while(1)    with    while (wait_key() != SET);
tried it and it seems to work.

I have not tested it but maybe this can be used,, while (wait_key() != SET);

I totally agree with 1%, the problem with 5d3 is that ML removes the possibility to use the Canon support for Eye-fi cards and since it's not yes possible to turn the flag of I have to wait :-) with the Eye-fi usage which by the way works real good with my iPad and ShutterSnitch.

I'm very confused ? Are you refering to this:

Does Magic Lantern completely replace Canon firmware?
No. Magic Lantern runs from the card, as an add-on over standard firmware. You will still be
able to access all Canon functionality.
To go back to Canon firmware, you may:
• Press and hold SET at startup to bypass ML only once (for the current session).
• Format your card in the camera and choose to remove Magic Lantern.
• Disable the bootflag (this will uninstall ML from the camera; to do this, run Firmware
Upgrade and follow the instructions).

I does not work for me and I have tested several times and if I run the firmware update again it does not remove the bootflag, I get a msg that says that the bootflag is set everytime. And I dont get the question if I want to remove ML when formatting the card

I have tested all of it and I can not make it work, the bootflag stays on, if you have a eye-fi card the
camera will refuse to start with that card after applying the dev firmware.
The card has to be bootable and contain a autoexec.bin for the camera to start.
#10
I belive that it only turns it on, there is no way to turn it off again.

Modules Development / DotTune AFMA (dot_tune.mo)
February 20, 2013, 06:17:09 PM
An automated version of the Dot-Tune focus tuning method.

Note, this module does not add AFMA support to camera bodies that did not contain this feature in Canon firmware.


QuoteCould this be someting to automate with ML ?
