Hi,
I posted my case in other category and perhaps I should have started here.

Some months ago I was using ML in my 5D M2 with one of the builds of july and august (cant remember which mont)to shoot a short film in raw. Almost to finish the project one day Magic Lantern disappeared from a Komputer Bay 1000x 32 GB card. And also it didnt wanted to start in my 16GB Lexar.
Since that day, the komputer bay never came to life again in my 5D but it did in other cameras such as a rebel.

Then my Lexar 16gb card started to work fine again, but then started to behave funny, some times it booted, other times it didnt , in some period it could take time to start up. So I though of a card corruption.

The 5D works perfect without card, and with other cards also works great.

So I decided a couple of weeks ago to buy two other lexar cards, a new 16gb 1000X and a 8GB 800X.

To my surprise, (without ML) the camera can boot fine with the 8gb 800X but with the new 16gb lexar card it just cant.

I decided to disable the booflag installing ML and switching the dial. Then I insert the 16gb Lexar 1000x and it does make the camera start but only the top lcd display, it does focus , change speed, iris, etc...but I cant see the menu in the display or press to shoot.

If I enable the bootflag, the camera wont start with that card, only if I let it sit some minutes connected to the mac it comes to life, but is not stable, it turns off or acts funny.

I tried removing the silver battery, downgrading and upgrading canon firmware, etc...but nothing....

Any ideas in how to solve this thing?...
thanks.

So after a couple of months...without using any ML at all in my 5D M2, I decided to give it a try once again.

So I installed ML into an old card, then I did the same in the two 16gb 1000x lexars and...trying, again and again, pulling out battery, trying to update firmware , etc...It worked.

But I have some issues.

1.-Takes long to boot sometimes, perhaps 3 to 4 seconds...sometimes is faster than that
2.-Sometimes the mirror stays up and locks so I have to take battery out
3.-I can take photos and then suddenly, I goes crazy, the mirror goes up and down so fast as if it were taking photos real fast
4.-Last time, I turned of and the lcd display stayed on...until I removed the battery.

Its annoying since, its not reliable, even when must of the time I can use it without problem...

When using an 800X lexar, nothing happens, everything is just fine..

If anyone has an idea of what prolem is causing this, I would appreciate your help, ML has been a great tool in my 5D M2
