Camera Emergency Department / EOS 200D Firmware Update Crash
« on: February 11, 2023, 11:22:14 PM »
Hello everyone,
I have a Canon EOS 200D with the issue that it keeps stucking in the firmware update program. Every update (1.0.1, 1.0.3 or 1.1.0) runs up to 99% and ends with this text pushed together:
So I guess it isn't a problem with the update files (SD Cards already changed), but with the update program itself. After un- and replug the battery, it starts the update program again.
Is this a known issue that could solved easily? The support center recomments a replace of the PCB.
With the ROM Dumper I was able to find out the MainFirmware Boot Flag is disabled.
While my search, I've found the topic "Magic Lantern for 200D: Not Dead Yet edition" https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=26681.0, where names_are_hard provided the bootflag enabler.
My hope is with reseting the FIR boot flag, the camera will start normally.
I've found the addresses of the flags here: https://magiclantern.fandom.com/wiki/Bootflags. The FIR flag is just only 4 Bytes before the BOOT flag.
Therefore my question: Could someone provide somewhat like a "Firmware flag switcher" please?
Otherwise it remains electronic waste.
Best Thanks for your help
