Hey there!
I'm experiencing pretty much the same things, except:

1) I use Mac OS X 10.6
2) The freeze only happens, when I have > 300 photos (no matter if raw or not, I think) on my card

As I really love the new features, there is no way of me getting away from them 😀
So, by now, I use my old and slow cf-reader, too.

Let's hope someone will sometimes come up with a great solution.
What about having a key pressed at boot up, determining whether to load the custom firmware or not?
Like, when the blue led is lightened?

Have a great night everybody!

POSSIBEL SOLUTION OR WORKAROUND !!

See this thread over at POTN ( photography-on-the-net) from user WALTA http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=742806&page=45 ( post #661 )

His solution:
Use card reader.
or
Use EOS utility to transfer.

Could this be helpful to some of the users having problems with the hack ?

Sorry for the late reply, I just back from holiday in Krabi, Thailand 😁

I didn't really test other solution ever since I bought a card reader.

The problem arises when using windows explorer to drag and drop the photos exactly like WALTA photography-on-the-net said.

Still, there no way for me to turn back, the spot metering and ISO 3200 is just superb 😁

Aww, all this is such great work. Thanks to all you developers and the others who helped by telling bugs and all this 😀

I now have a question. Somehow I got confused about all those functions, here a new and there a new, and now the old ones need to be activated somewhere else and all those stuf... Has anyone of you a quick idea of how to activate/deactivate and control all new functions and could write it down as a guide? I would be so thankful. - Thanks in advance!

Agree. It is not user friendly the way it is now. I think Sergei mentioned in an earlier post that he will try to make it better, maybe implement everything into one menu, like they did with the 350D hack, but it is difficult.

As for now, I am using the first version. I like the other features but it is just to complicated.

I think you need to go back a few pages and write down all the different functions on paper if you want to use the latest hack.

pommesgabel and John_Doe2:

There is a "400D ( Rebel XTI )" wiki-page here: http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/400D
That "someone" can keep ájour, with all the new functions and by all means "what not"! 😀
Until these giants among mankind, the developers, use their oh so sweet magic we all love on the code.

I just wanted to say.. thank you awesome developers and wiki editors for taking your time with this! :-*

Anyway after suggesting this Sergej included into latest distribution file a
text document Functionalities.txt esplaining all this!
It is very clear and well explained.

I think you could refer to it...

Ciao,
Marco.

Hey there,

could you please test the attached version for your problem?
I have rewritten the procedures initializing the mod of Sergei. Original version see https://chdk.setepontos.com/d/3290/322.
All features work as always, but no more memory interruptions should occur, freezing the cam.

As stated earlier, I was not able to even get a preview of more than 300 pics. Now, using my version, I can copy up to 7.5gb of pics at once, with no freezes at all! (Well, that's the size of my card, so no more pics possible 😀 )

Maybe this also solves your problem.

I have installed your version.
Fixed the problem of using Eos utility for more than 300 pics.
But when used, i get an ERR 99 after a few continues pictures.
Seems like it interferes with the buffer, only the first pic of the series is saved on the card.

Hope you can check and fix this bug.
thanks!

Hey there,

I also ran in this problem when I do more than 1 photo. I will investigate this more and hope to be able to fix it very soon.

Thanks for your testing nevertheless!

Thanks fabian.off & M.G for the testing,was too excited with my 400d shooting 😎
Currently I am using the AutoISO autoexec from Sergei, and would like report one bug.
http://www.filefactory.com/file/a2207h9/n/autoexec_autoiso_2010-02-08.zip

If the AutoISO is enabled, the pictures in the buffer will never transfer to CF card if you use other preset mode eg Auto, Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Macro, Night view, Non-flash. The red light keeps going and it will only transfer to CF card if you change back any other manual mode eg. AV, TV, M, P, A-DEP

Anyone encounter the same problem?

Try this AUTOEXEC.BIN. I think i got that error corrected.

Hey Sergei.
Hope you can help resolve the problem with Fabian's version.
Thanks.

Hi guys,
needless to say you are doing a great job!

Thanks alot to all the developers like Foldesa, Sekth, Thaibv, Sergei and all the others whose every accomplishment is of benefit for the community and owners of the 400d!

I always thought not having a spot metering mode was a pity, and that 3600 iso could be great with PP, as well as the intermediate isos (from 400 to 800).

Someone on other forums are debating wether it is a real "unlock" of functions or not... is it?

Auto ISO must be great as well, but haven't installed it so far: hope it could be integrated into a friendly menu and that someone could help out Sergei and all the other developers in this great work!

I wish I knew how to program firmwares... I would stick to it every night for this digital buddy! 😛

Great work so far and... THANK YOU ALL! 😀

Sergei

I was trying to understand why camera was freezing and replaced two files (entry.S, init.c) with earlier version from Thaibv's AUTOEXEC.BIN. Looks like everything works now.

M.G

Works! 😁
Thanks, one more thing i noticed.
When you set an ISO value, work with it and enter ISO menu again and don't change the setting- the ISO drops to 100.

Great work! 😀
