Canon EOS 1300D / Rebel T6

[adamnock]

Just confirming, the build you're testing is for Firmware 1.1.0 yes?

Wanted to check before I try running it on my 1.2.0 camera and possibly ruin it

[petabyte]

Yes, 1.1.0.

I also solved the problem with Free Memory:

Really happy to see all the progress being made regarding the 1300D.
Was already contemplating buying a 5D for the sole reason of it having more than 3 AEB brackets - an arbitrary software limitation of the 1300D, but luckily this thread (and Alex's commits) keept on giving me hope
I also think that Petabytes method of enabling the boot flag is big news - even if it takes multiple attempts; not having to fiddle with the hardware is important for people with no technical know-how like me.

[petabyte]

A few days ago, I figured out how to get it working 100% of the time. (I think, at least from my 100 or so stress tests)
(It wasn't a timing error or anything, all I did was append ~30 zeros to the string)

I've also made a portable Windows/Linux front-end: https://github.com/petabyt/mlinstall

Although beware, this command is undocumented and I have yet to see the code behind it. Try at your own risk.

Hey guys is there any chance you need help testing this? I have a 1300D and wanted to use it for streaming. I'd love to test out clean hdmi out. I have a capture card I can use to test.

[exexpat]

Thanks Petabyte, I have ML running on my T6! The driver replacement in Windows was the only part that challenged me (ptp/usb not found error was a battle)

Question on the ML version.... I'm trying to use the camera as a webcam and need as close to 1920x1080 as possible with clean HDMI. Given the limitations I've read about, 1620x910 is theoretically possible. Is it possible to force that resolution out of the HDMI port while not recording? Right now it only outputs 480p clean HDMI.

Thanks again!

OK So I tried using this and critix's build but the program won't pick up the camera when plugged in through USB. I even tried using Zadig to assign libusb to the camera but that didn't work. I'm on Windows 10 right now, I will try on Ubuntu later and report back to you guys.

Since Windows 10 was having issued, I used a LiveCD of Ubuntu 21 and ran Petabyte's linux tool to enable the bootflag on the camera natively, which worked great. Upon first loading, ROM0 and ROM1 were backed up and things started working. Great job everyone involved!

A quick note while running this today, when performing an autofocus, once the lock is obtained, the display shows "Headphones connected" but nothing seems to be wrong and normal pictures are taken in focus.

[petabyte]

Hi all, for some reason I never saw these messages.

Solution for the Windows libusb issue: https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=26162.msg236405#msg236405

I had mentioned using Zadig in an earlier release, but I thought the new codebase I
used (ptpcam) fixed this issue (I forgot I had libusb installed in my VM), and never gave it much thought after that.

Hi, I wanna test it in my T6 but I have firmware 1.2.0. Do you guys think it'll still work? I tried to reinstall firmware 1.0 back but I can't manage to do it from EOS Utility software cause it ask me to press a button tha doesn't do anything in Eos T6 neither could intall manually via SD card cause for some reason My Pc won't let me paste files that are not media files in the SD drive when I connect my cam, and I don't have a card reader for my pc. Any help or perhaps a workarround to install the correct firmware version, please? Thanks

Edit: I also tried the battery door method and not worked.

Is there a third party tool to flash stock canon firmware? or I just lost all oportunities to try ML on my cam because the firmware update?

[petabyte]

I assume you saw https://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=17969.msg233693#msg233693 ?
Not sure if you are doing it incorrectly or it doesn't work on your model for some reason.

Also, It may eventually be ported to version 1.2.0.

[critix]

I put on bitbuchet: https://bitbucket.org/ccritix/magic-lantern-git/src/9f9f97c0917d9cbc1ae91d911a87cdfcff2875bd/?at=branches%2F1300D and on github: https://github.com/ccl/branches/1300D source I've worked on so far.
ML on 1300D can be tried here:
https://bitbucket.org/ccritix/magic-lantern-git/downloads/magiclantern-Nightly.2021Sep11.1300D110.zip
It's not final ... there are still bugs to fix ... and improvements ...
Maybe someone wants to try ... and tell me what errors / bugs are still unresolved so far ... or what's wrong ...

Hii, can we install ml simply with sd card or with "wires"

[CanonCasey]

I have a question regarding your windows program "ML USB Installation tool". I downgraded my 1300D with the battery door method successfully and the programme reads my camera, but the tool itself I'm not to familiar with in the sense of how to use it. Could somone point me in the right direction?

[CanonCasey]

Nevermind, I managed to get magic lantern working on my 1300D!

I'll do some testing soon and report back. Thank you to the devs whom have put so much time into getting the ball rolling for this camera ✌️

[denizza]

Hii, I want install ml on my 1300d, I just update firmware with this files? https://bitbucket.org/ccritix/magic-lantern-git/downloads/magiclantern-Nightly.2021Sep11.1300D110.zip and that firmware I should be?

[CanonCasey]

You need to downgrade to firmware version "1.1.0" if you're not already on that version. If not then you need to do the battery door method. I might make a video on how to do so with the 1300D as it's a bit different since the sd slot and battery door aren't separate. After that you need to download the "ML installation tool" and follow the steps. If anyone wants I can make a video of the process.

With this you can enable boot flag on device.
Then copy content of zip on sdcard. Power on device...and ML sould work. But...only with firmware 1.1.0

ML installation on 1300D is a bit different. It doesn't follow the rules for other cams.
You cannot use Canon menu option "Firmware update" to enable ML!

Format your SD-card using the camera. Now you have 2 options to make your card bootable.
First is via USB with card inserted to cam and a command.
Or you use your PC and card inserted into cardreader. For Windows you should use EOScard utility. Then wipe disk contents and copy nightly build for 1300D to card. For macOS you can use MacBoot or Make_bootable.sh. See https://wiki.magiclantern.fm/install#installing_magic_lantern_on_other_cards
