Canon 500D / T1i

You need to downgrade first to FW v1.1.1: http://pel.hu/down/v111-t1i-500d-x3-win.exe

This download link is dead and I can't find the 1.1.1 firmware update anywhere

My 500D is still running 1.0.9 and I just found out about ML

This download link is dead and I can't find the 1.1.1 firmware update anywhere

This: http://pel.hu/eoscard/ is the place where you should be able to get pretty much any Canon firmware updater but you are right, the link to the 500D 1.1.1 firmware isn't working. I have a "500D Canon Firmware for Testers" that contains the 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 Canon updaters on my downloads page as a backup.

https://bitbucket.org/daniel_fort/magic-lantern/downloads/

If someone has a dump of the 1.1.2 firmware I'd appreciate a PM.

[dfort]

Got my hands on a 500D so I did the 1.1.2 firmware dump myself. The portable dumper didn't work so we ended up using the "blind dumper" - more details in this post.

That was about the only glitch, the rest of the update went like butter!



Firmware signature showed up fine in QEMU:



Worked first time in camera:



It also got a perfect score with the Stubs API test:

Test build on my downloads page, pull request coming soon.

[EDIT] Pull request is open: https://bitbucket.org/hudson/magic-lantern/pull-requests/916/update-to-500d112/diff

[dfort]

I've been pushing several users into doing tests on these firmware updates and since nobody seems to be responding on the 500D.112 and I happened to have my hands on one I guess it is up to me to run these tests.

Made a lua_fix build for the new firmware and these tests failed:

Code: [Select]

test_keys
test_lv failed
test_lens_focus
test_camera_exposure
All the others were fine. Of course the first thing I ask testers to do on a firmware update is to regress to the previous firmware version to see if this is a new issue or inherited from the previous version. Same issues on 1.1.1.

The lens focus test is interesting because it the lens will go from infinity to closest distance before failing. If the lens is focused at the closest setting to begin with it will fail right away. The 500D might be a camera that the lens can only be controlled by lua when in LiveView so I hacked up the script a bit, set the camera in LiveView and it completed this test using an old 28-105mm lens:

Well 0x3f definitely didn't work and neither did 0x24 so maybe this is somewhere else?

The test_lv does put the camera in LiveView then dies.

Hi @dfort

Thanks for your tip about 500D dumping. I was also searching for new stubs and noticed some changes not present in your stubs.S

update-to-500d112

Code: [Select]

NSTUB(0xFF0234B4,  gui_init_end)
NSTUB(    0x1E8C,  mvr_config)               // please re-check
NSTUB(0xFF33030C,  fsuDecodePartitionTable)

Not sure, I have little experience with this. Can you check please?
Maybe this help your API_TEST.LUA tests.
thanks

[dfort]

@rafaelbf -- catching up after 3 weeks on vacation. Thanks for this, will look into it when I get some time. Please send me a reminder if I flake out.

[dfort]

@rafaelbf -- Thanks for pointing out the problem with fsuDecodePartitionTable. Looks like I didn't update it from the previous firmware version. However, the other values seem to be fine. How did you come up with those addresses?

[rafaelbf]

How did you come up with those addresses?

@dfort
opening 2 simultaneous IDA sessions and comparing each Stub address in 111 and 112
"mvr_config" is not an address, I've noticed a change in old value.

[dfort]

Have you tried changing those values to see if it makes any difference when running the tests?

The problems with the tests that the 500D.112 firmware update isn't passing is also present on the 500D.111 so we're in a situation where we need to do some bug hunting using 1.1.1 then see if those changes translate to the 1.1.2 firmware--it should. Not a high priority for me at this time because I don't use this camera much and when I do it seems to be fine even though it can't pass the lua API tests.

[rafaelbf]

Hi @dfort

about the api_test.lua tests, really hangs the 500D. Not related to these Stubs.

But...check this script. It runs same functions that hangs on api_test. (Setting ISO and Enabling LiveView)
Runs fine....no hangs !! Tested on 500D fw111:

Code: [Select]

-- Simple 500d test script.

require("keys")

--printf
function printf(...)
    io.write(string.format(...))
end

function main()
    menu.close()
    console.show()

    printf("Camera    : %s (%s) %s\n", camera.model, camera.model_short, camera.firmware)
    printf("Lens      : %s\n", lens.name)
    printf("Shoot mode: %s\n", camera.mode)
    printf("ISO       : %s (raw %s, %s, apex %s)\n", camera.iso, camera.iso.raw, camera.iso.value, camera.iso.apex)

    printf("Setting ISO 800\n")
    camera.iso.value = 800
    printf("ISO       : %s (raw %s, %s, apex %s)\n", camera.iso, camera.iso.raw, camera.iso.value, camera.iso.apex)

    printf("Press any key to test LiveView...\n")
    key.wait()

    if lv.enabled then
        printf("LiveView is running; stopping...\n")
        lv.stop()
        msleep(2000)
    end

    printf("Starting LiveView...\n")
    lv.start()

    msleep(5000)
    printf("Stopping LiveView...\n")
    lv.stop()
    msleep(1000)

    printf("Test complete. Press any key to exit...\n")
    key.wait()

    console.hide()
end

keymenu = menu.new
{
    name   = "500D tests",
    help   = "Some tests on 500D",
    select = function(this) task.create(main) end,
}






I have no idea why the api_test.lua hangs, and this script works.
Successfully sets ISO to 800 and enabled LiveView.

So, I think the 500D is ready for version 112.
Please not forget to update these new Stubs. They aren't related to these tests, but present in version 112.

And, If possible check my patch about "SoundDevice\SoundDevice_CODEC.c" crash. 
Now My 500D is stable, no more crash while recording movies:

Amazing -- Could you do a pull request for this? I no longer have a 500D to test this out. Just a week ago I sent my 500D to @critix so he can play around with ML and possibly use it to help him with the 1300D port. Looks like he's already getting into it because he approved the 500D.112 pull request.

[critix]

Code: [Select]

NSTUB(0xFF0234B4,  gui_init_end) -> is not OK.
NSTUB(    0x1E8C,  mvr_config)               // please re-check  -> is not OK
NSTUB(0xFF33030C,  fsuDecodePartitionTable)  -> is OK


I ran Stubs API test and the result was a positive, error-free result.
I'm now trying to see why there are errors in running the api_test.lua script.

[critix]

I've tried to see what the api_test.lua script does not work, but without a result. One of the "problems" was that the device had to be set to expanded ISO because it has ISO 3200 and expanded to 6400. The api_test.lua script is used maximum 6400.
Another change we tested. Script perform 100 random value tests. I just set maximum 10 values, and it was ok, but is crash to

Code: [Select]

printf (" Starting LiveView ... \ n ")I can not tell, unfortunately, what is not ok ...

[a1ex]

Lua API tests almost passing

Also found a way to disable the (slightly annoying) "Perform autofocus with AE lock <*> button" message in LiveView. Somebody asked for this a while ago, but I have trouble finding the original request.

That message was actually causing the failed assertion reported by critix - ML expected the camera to be "idle" right after entering LiveView, i.e. without other dialog boxes displayed on the screen.

@rafaelbf: still getting the crash at SoundDevice_CODEC.c with your patch (i.e. with audio meters disabled).


edit: might have found a fix, please try the draft patch the latest experimental lua_fix build and report back.

[dfort]

Things have gotten very quiet on this topic. I do have something new to try out so besides the test a1ex asked for on Reply #63 could a 500D user please try out the 10/12-bit test build I posted on my Bitbucket downloads page and report back?

[critix]

Hello
I have enabled MLV_Lite and MLV_Rec.
Unfortunately, after starting the movie, it stops automatically ...

Busy ... please wait

. That's when I use RAW video, with 10bit or 12bit.
When I activate RAW video (MLV) I receive:

Allocating 122MiB backup

. And then, after 2 seconds, I get

Frame skipped

and stops with

Busy ... please wait

. That's at 10bit and 12bit.
Should I test otherwise?

[dfort]

I overlooked several changes that need to be done and stubs to be found -- it is not just a matter of merging in the RscMgr memory pull request. Though 10/12-bit will probably work with that test build when using zoom mode.

Note that there are some new stubs to find and other changes but it shouldn't be too difficult to implement on the 500D. 

[critix]

Thanks. Tomorrow i will search new stubs...

[dfort]

I started searching but now it seems this isn't going to help to get 10/12-bit working on this camera.

[Walter Schulz]

Red blinking is the message from older builds telling you what you have done: Using an incompatible firmware. Remove battery and card. Insert battery (but not card) and startup cam.
You can use any "clean" card (formatted in cardreader, formatted in cam after) to downgrade cam's firmware.

[Rezzar]

HELP!

Okay so I messed up big time, I bought a new 500d like a month ago from a second hand guy it works flawlessly and it was in its 1.0.9 canon firmware. Then going through the Internet I found out that the 500d does not record video on manual mode. But my dumbass bought a dslr to shoot films and now I can't, I tried many things to control the iso, aperture, and shutter speed with the lighting and also tweaking the kit lens to keep the aperture at a fixed setting. So that's when I found out about magic lantern. I spent about a week researching about magic lantern so I thought "hey okay let's do this". ( this is when my dumbass starts to think) so before installing the magic lantern software I read on the magic lantern website I needed to upgrade into the 1.1.1 canon firmware 500d so aight I get on the canon website but the link for the 1.1.1 firmware isn't there only... The 1.1.2 firmware.... Now... This is where I made the mistake of installing this software and putting in on my canon... Everything went smoothly, my canon was upgraded to the 1.1.2 firmware
 
Now on the back of my mind I still have that lingering thought "yo don't you need to make sure everything goes according to the website?" BUT my dumbass just goes nah fuck it just download magic lantern and put it on the sd card then boom bam format, copy paste and then put it in the camera.... Once I did it I went to the third wrench option and I updated the firmware... silence... The screen popped up... The dial was on... I forgot what it was on... And then... Blank screen, no lights on the screen just nothing I panicked , switched off the camera took out the battery, charged it to max, put it back on but this time the mode was on P it was lit but again the screen went blank... The camera is switched on but no screen and the only thing that shows any indication of light is the red light Indicator on the bottom right side of the camera which goes on and off every 3 seconds... And here I am a man and a damaged camera losing hope but the fact that that red light is still blinking shows me a little hope. I hope you enjoyed that read because I enjoyed writing it. But still this is a real problem that I'm having and I'm in DIRE NEED OF A SOLUTION ASAP

TLDR; bought 2nd hand 500d but found out could not record video manually, magic lantern seemed like a good alternative but I installed ML on my 500d with a 1.1.2 firmware not the 1.1.1 firmware and now the screen doesn't show when I switch it on. Please if there's any suggestion on how I could fix it or turn back to normal it would help me greatly

Alkautsar.amarl@gmail.com is my email I'm new to the forum so I'm not sure how to navigate around here if I do get a reply

[Rezzar]

I just realized my previous post was submitted and I submitted a more lengthy and longer post  sorry I really thought my previous post wasn't submitted  . Teehee

Reminder: You can edit posts and even delete them ...
I don't think anybody will contact you via email.

[Rezzar]

That's good to know. This forum is cool I've just now joined and I've already gotten a reply. Sweet

UPDATE

So I've switched my camera off then took out the battery and the card . Then put back the battery without the card and switched it on. Screen comes up horray! now I've gone and put my card into my Mac and formatted it clean. Brand new 64gb sd card now before I put it back in I checked the menu settings on my 500d. The firmware says it's 1.1.2, not happy but wtv. I put the new sd card back in and the same problem arises :/ well shit...
