Hi, I am trying to install the nightly build on my 1100d (Date: 2013-10-21 01:25:09 +0100 ). I fully understand the risks of course. The problem I am having is I have followed the install guide by low level formatting my card and using the official canon battery at full charge. I have extracted the zip file to the root of my memory card (32gb) and when I select update firmware I get the message "Memory card containing firmware is required to update". Perhaps I am misunderstanding the steps I need to take to install Magic Lantern? Also, I am willing to provide feed back as I understand this is still a development build, rather than a full release.

Kind regards,

David.

The nightly build is for advanced features and not for your first install. 
Download the magiclantern-v2.3.NEXT.2013Jan08.60D.550D.600D.50D.500D.5D2.1100D
http://www.magiclantern.fm/downloads.html

You will find the needed *.fir file so can set the camera flag.  Follow the instructions on the zip above to set flag on the camera and make your card bootable.

Could you perhaps direct me on how to acquire or generate the *.fir file for the 700D/T5i, since it is not included in the 2.3 release?  I can't seem to locate a clear writeup for cameras not included in 2.3 release.

Thanks!!!!

Hi, thanks for your swift reply. Unfortunately I cannot locate that file on the download page, only the 2.3 stable release and a link to the nightly builds or alpha.

700d is a new camera not included in 2.3.  It is in the RAW directory

Read the thread is a new camera.

Download the 2.3 release, unzip it and you will find it along with the instructions in pdf.

Hi, sorry to be a pain, but the 2.3 release says it supports 5D, 550D, 60D, 600D, 50D and 500D. There are no instructions or fir file for the 1100D.
