My camera just went black, it didn't crash. So you say I have to format the card again before copying the ML-files to it?
I just erased the files from the update as is told in the instructions...

Does the old EOSUtility says lost connection on your?  I am unable i guess to bootflag 7d because of that?

[TWO STEPPS]

You dont need the EOSCard.  EOSCard just donwload the zip file with the new ML files and save in your CF card. You can downlod the files from the link that i post. But you need still to bootflag your camera.

TWO STEPPS

1- Bootflag your 7D

2-Paste the new ML files to your CF card and you are done

I am not talking about EOS Card i am talking about EOS Utility when flashing with patched firmware. 

Hello there,
first of all: Thank you so much everyone who spend their time developing this and helping other users!
This is fantastic!

Sadly, I seem to be unable to boot ML. I think setting the autoboot flag didnt work correctly for me. I tried serveral times.
While installing the FW update with the old EOS-Utility the red light on my camera flashes and the camera screen says 'loading...'.
After a few seconds, the camera looses the connection to the PC and goes dark (or maybe the process is just finished?).
During that process 3 files are created in the root directory of my CF card and some more files in \misc.

Now, does that mean that the autoboot-flag was set successfully?
Or should there be a kind of confirmation screen (as is does for other cameras as shown in the ML-wiki)?

Also EOS utility says to press "set" on camera to begin update process, but that doesnt help either.
After copying the ML-files to the card, the camera wont boot ML.
Im not sure what to try next, maybe someone knows an answer.
thx

EOSUtility is loosing connection firmware update never actually starts as I understand because it disconnects?  I have same problem.

[LINK OF THE FILES THAT YOU NEED TO PUT IN YOUR CF CARD (NEW ML]

This is the burst of silent pics? How you manage to do it?

This link just go to the web page of Pelican. What i should do with this?

My friends, the EOSCard from Pelican, just goes to a weblink and download the ML version and record on your CF card... you can just download a zip file and pass the files to your CF card.

But beside this, EOSCard from pelican, you need to bootflag your camera to able to read this new ML files in your CF card... And for do this you need a version of the 7D firmware (firmware 123.fir,that you can find in britom instructions) and pacth it... then in a format CF card you put the file firmware.fir (that  you created with old firmware and pacth) in to your 7D.

After this, you format or deleted the firmware.fir and put the new ML files... that you record with EOSCard or just download it and copy/past to CD card.

This is the link for the files that you need to put in your CF card. But before this, you need to bootflag your camera, like i said before or like instructions of britom ( check a few posts/pages before).

Let's go people!!! It's easy... after comprehension 

The problem is in EOSUtility I can not run it it disconnects itself when I hit final OK before the windows comes up about SET button , camera goes into loading program for firmware updated but then restarts because it lost connection with EOSUtility thats the main problem.  Running win7 64 bit

anything I can do to keep the connection up?

yes it gave me that firmware.fir I place that onto a CF card fire up eos utility downloaded form this thread and everything is fine up to the point where it says to go from version to version I hit OK and th eos utility looses connection

Are you using the EOS Utility software from this threat? it HAS to be that version..

yes! I am using the version from this thread version 2.8.1.0 connection lost when I hit ok for update to go

why is loosing connections its beyond me I have tried even installing full solution disk but same thing

I am going crazy trying to get EOSUtility to work.  Under winodows7 x64 I have downloaded EOS Utility from the link above and when I try to run the firmware.fir update it says connection lost. 

I have tried under osx it says out of memory

New versions say incompatible version when trying to downgrade.

Is there another solution for me to make the bootflag

It starts the loading the firmware program on the 7d and it disconects from the eos utility 7d restarts and on the card I get ROM0.bin ROM1.bin and ROM2.bin along with FIRMWARE.FIR

I delete all 4 files correct and place ML?
