Thank you very much. The following is the report:
The sims card I had inserted into the T2i after the camera stopped working was apparently not fully functional, or I lost it in the process. It was previously working fine, but difficult to read once inserted into the computer. When I tried to reformat it I lost it completely. It was somehow read by the T2i beforehand since it did not give me a "no chip" warning sign as it usually does and did even with the temporarily crippled system when there was no chip inserted. I then used a new Sims card that I reformatted with MS DOS and voila, the camera came back to life. It's working fine again, so I can program it with a new chip and add ML to it with the appropriate version. I have done this with all my Canon models and it seems to work very fine every time. I don't quite get why Canon does not add the functionality ML does to the proprietary software even years after knowing that many enthusiastic people (have to) hack it (with ML) to unlock all those common-sense features. Probably to release them later and get more money, or why? Anyways ... it all worked out fine this time for me and thanks again for the passionate community support. Have a great day.
