[UNMAINTAINED] Canon 5D Classic Firmware ** Beta 4 **

[DCB]

Well Auto ISO would be nice, I think!

NEW 5D? Where did you buy it?

New to me. Looks like new though.

Peace

[SoulState]

No auto ISO?

So, comparable to mine with 8940 shots only!

Is someone still developing on the 5DC?    We can't wait for the beta5

[walta]

Is anyone noticing how many people view this thread every day - looking for activity or progress?

I don't think anyone's working on it any more. Probably because its an older model - everyone's trying to crack they new sexy models with video etc.

How do you know? Did you send the camera to CPS? The Imagenumber is no real proof

Yes, I sent it to CPS for a bit of correction on the AF. Now it's perfect.

I followed the directions but I only get the blinking blue light (bootflag disabled) and no response when I click the Trash button. Any suggestions? I went through the process several more (5) times but I only get a blinking blue light. Any help is appreciated.

p.s. If it helps, I'm using a Komputerbay 266x 32GB card.

Look back a few posts. I helped some others that had the same problem.

You have to do the firmware update twice with 2 different .fir files


=====================================

The instructions aren't too clear.

On your first install you need to do the firmware update with the file named "5dc.111.card bootable.fir" in the root of the card
This makes your card bootable
next you have to do the firmware update with the "5dc.111.ML install.fir" file (as well as all the other ones needed for ML)
This installs the ML bootflag.

There is no message that it was successful. The blue light should come on steady - like the instructions say. Then you have to remove the battery to re-boot the camera.

Blinking light means something wasn't installed properly.

I'm not sure what the camera does if you do the upgrade firmware process with 2 fir files in the root of the card.
after copying all the files over there, I made sure there was only 1 fir file each time when I did the firmware upgrade process and it worked for me.

Is there any possibility to get "shutter delay(MLU)" feature on 5Dc? That would be super helpful, with my 550D I can get almost 1-2 stop longer shutter speed with it.

Got same problem but can't find the response to fix it. Work on a 1 gb sandisk.

Can someone teach me how to get the right tool?

I got a 8gb Lexar professional 400x

Did you see my post?

This is what should be added to Beta 5:

AUTO ISO enable for Manual Mode. No excuses.

Do the firmware update again with the file named "5dc.111.card bootable.fir" in the root of the card.
This makes your card not bootable
If you do it again it makes it bootable.
This is a flag that turns the boot portion on and off so every time you run it it turns it either on or off
Next format your CF

ML is gone.

Hi

i made it like you told me but it doesn´t work.
I tryed it blinking blue led > format the CF card but still no auto Focus wired colors ...

any idea what i can do to reset all settings?

greetings from Germany

Hi,

I also have the missing firmware message on a 16GB CF card, but ML works on a 2GB card. Several pages ago there was a Windows tool linked which I also tried and this said I have no boot flag on the 16GB card. Changing the boot flag with this tool also allows me to use the 16GB card.

And it is (in my case) regardless if the boot switch firmware file 5dc.111.card_bootable.fir stays on the CF or not.

I'm still testing this boot problem and if there is a workaround with Windows or Mac OS system tools to make a CF bootable. Maybe it is a problem of the file system (FAT32 on the 16GB card) or the CF card is not a typed as a big floppy or removable, maybe it is a USB HDD type. I'm not sure if I had used this card as a bootable USB hdd for Windows setups earlier...

Is the ML software insied the auto exec.bin file? If so I think it is not possible to use different ML files (in my case for the 5DC and the 7D) at the same time on one CF.
Is there a way for hot swapping the CF card without rebooting the DSLR?

Regards
Nils

PS: nice tool, I'm looking closer to the several functions.

For some reason I'm not able to get ML running on my 5Dc again.

I had it couple of months with any issues but I accidently formatted the card in camera yesterday.

I have tried dozens of times to get it running, but I always just get blinking blue light.

And yes, I have tried this already: http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=1010.msg16120#msg16120

I am having the same problem. I tried to re-install the version on the first page of this thread and got the blinking blue light. I used both methods (having both .fir files and then having only one). Neither way worked. In the end my camera ended up being locked up - no LCD screen and can't actuate the shutter.

I formatted the card, tried to run the bootflag file a number of times nothing. I was starting to sweat. Finally took all batteries out for 5+ minutes and camera works fine.

In the past I've been able to install Beta 4 that I downloaded earlier (last year) and they worked fine. Maybe theres something different in the one on this thread now. Anyway I'm not attempting an install again until it gets out of BETA.

[polarrys]

Dear All,

My name is polarrys and I am a 5D classic user.  I have installed Magic Lantern on my 5D but I have a big issue now. I tell you :

1. I put the all the files from the zip on my camera and I boot it. I do an upgrade firmwre. I have the blue light so no problem.
2. But, I can't boot on magic lantern or on canon soft with my CF card
3. When i have NO CF card installed, i can boot on canon soft (but with no CF card)

Please, can you give me an advice to solve my problem .
There is a possibility to delete all ML to have only the canon soft.

Thanks a lot for your help.

[walta]

read the last 3 posts and you'll see others are having the same problem.

[polarrys]

Thanks Walta but I read the 3 posts but i don't find a solution to start normally my 5DC.

Please, can you tell the proceedings to have now only the canon soft?

I think all is ok on my camera because I can start the 5DC without CF Card.
I try to erase all files on my CF card, but nothing appears

Thanks for your help.
