Canon 500D / T1i

[Rezzar]

So I've formatted my card and I've copied the 1.1.1 firmware on to it to the root directory but when I inserted the card back in the camera my screen turns blank again and the red blinking light shows up. Without the card I can access pretty much all the menu settings but with a card even a clean one with anything on it the screen won't come up

So I've formatted my card

And I smell macOS. Please use disk utility and erase card first.

I have a T1i I bought a long ass time ago and I've been trying to get it working for video with larger SD cards.  I flashed it a few months back but the video function crashes fairly often and is somewhat annoying, when I have a moment this weekend though I will try to flash this as I don't use it often but it would be nice to have it properly functional with larger cards.

Here is the ML version for 1.1.2 firmware:

Hi Critix,

I am the guy who created the issue on Bitbucket. Thank you for your initiative - sorry I overlooked this post.

Unfortunately I have to report that this version has the same behaviour for me. When I try to "update" with the 500D running firmware 1.1.2, I get the message below. I did low-level format the card with the new Canon 1.1.2 firmware first, still the camera replies:

Firmware update program

Update file
cannot be found.
Please check the momory
card and reload the
battery and try again.

If I add the official 1.1.1 firmware file on the drive (as suggested in the troubleshooting guide) the update program does load, but only the official Canon update file is offered for update....

Sorry to be pain in the a*, but that's what I find

Best
Panca/Rainer

PS: I still observe that the ML-UPDATE.FIR file is pretty small (34kb) compared to the 1.1.1 version (66kb). Thanks for the consideration.

[critix]

With version 1.1.1 set the camera bootflag. Then update the camera to 1.1.2. and you can use ML for version 1.1.2. Unfortunately, for the moment there is no ML-SETUP.FIR for version 1.1.2.

[panca]

Hi Citrix,

Oh I see! Thanks, it is working now!

Not knowing this might have been my problem in the first place. Anyways, all is good that ends well...

Thanks again
.r.

[critix]

I restored the archive with ML-SETUP.FIR correctly, for version 1.1.2
