Hi Herbert,
“my” file is of course originally Julian’s (credits where credits are due!). It has indeed a .bin file for 1.05. I just sent you a link to the dropdown files, hope it works out!

Hi Julian,
It may not be a big thing for you, but rest assured that for someone who has just wrecked his camera, finding your helping hand really means a lot! I will send you a warm thought every time I get that camera out!

Does anyone know what that 1.20 update actually did, and how critical it is not having it installed? I filmed some three hours in a concert on Saturday, and didn’t notice anything unexpected…

Cheers,
Tom

Julian,
Thank you!!! If there is ever an election for “Most helpful person on the net” you will have my vote!
Yes, there were issues in restoring the firmware, but they had mostly to do with getting the computer infrastructure working. In the end I managed with BootCamp on a Mac, running Windows XP. The 1.20 installer didn’t work, though, but I skipped that and managed to get to 1.30 without further problems, and everything seems to be working now. And just in time, since I have some filming to do tomorrow night.
Seeing that “dead” camera wake up again with your 1.05 – now I know how Frankenstein felt… 😉
Thanks again, you made my day!
Cheers,
Tom

Hi Julian,
I just run into the same problem as everyone else. Sadly I hadn’t seen this thread before…
I attempted to go from 1.03 to 1.30 in one go, the guy in the shop claimed it wouldn’t be a problem. Ha! I should have known better…
So, I would highly appreciate if you could give me access to your firmware collection! My email is t_carlsson@bigfoot.com
Regards,
Tom
