Basically there are two things:
a) the camera has to be told that firmware (autoexec.bin) is being loaded from a bootable memory card at boot-time
b) the memory card has to be bootable for the camera to find the autoexec.bin on it

Now, with a) active, I could find no way to have the camera start-up with the Eye-fi X2 Pro card in it. I tried making the Eye-fi card bootable, non-bootable, formating it, placing and not placing the autoexec.bin on it, using it together with the CF card, using it together with a bootable CF card with autoexec.bin on the CF etc. A normal SD card works fine without issues.

Without the Bootdisk flag set in the camera (a) the Eye-fi works without any issues.

I managed to build a version of autoexec.bin which disables the Bootdisk flag, so I am good with that.

Now if I understand correctly, there is currently no way of running ML with Eye-fi on the 5D3 without having to do firmware upgrade each time the camera boots (which might be risky business if there is an upgrade counter)? This is because the Eye-fi card seems to have and issue with making it bootable.

How can I disable the bootdisk flag on my 5D3? I have tried all the different options I could find on this board, but nothing has helped. The reason I need this is because there is currently no other way to use my Eye-fi card.

Wouldnt it be possible for someone to produce a .fir file for disabling the bootdisk flag (similar to 5D3-113-bootflag.fir, which is used to enable it)?

All help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
