Eos 400d ( Rebel XTI )

Set to English, deleted languages.ini. The same thing 🙁
Could something corrupt in the camera? Something went wrong with VxWorks?
I tried two different CFs.
And the main thing - it worked about two weeks when I just installed 400plus.

Not what I expected to hear... I still do not think there is anything wrong with the camera, however.

Let's see: literals are OK, settings are OK... so perhaps the menu initialization is failing? 400plus jumps through the standard menu to display our menu (we still do not know how to do it directly); if the standard menu is not in the appropriate state, then our initialization could fail.

Please, go to the camera's menu, change to another page within that menu, and then try again.

nothing new 🙁 still hangs with err99 in viewfinder.
Documentation says "If the blue LED of your camera briefly lights up when the camera is turned on, the hack has been successfully loaded." But in my case when the camera is turning on the LED lights up briefly and then light up again and light down only after camera starts and fully ready to works. May be this sign could help?

I understood it would display a blank screen, not an error message; has this changed recently? or is it just something intermittent?

No, that is normal behavior.

After initial installation 400plus was working fine for about two weeks and just once stoped working. Screen is not just blank - it can be black, or white, white with dots, or black with orange noise pattern - not stable. Error message ("Err99") is in viewfinder window, not at screen.

Interesting, i've never seen an Err99 in the ViewFinder, where is it written exactly ?

see what happens in this scenarios:

1. Try operating the camera w/o entering the Hack menus... make some photos, do some stuff in the menus... see if it is working correctly.
2. Try detaching the lens, external flash and whatever is attached to the body (if there is anything else). Then try the hack again.

I tried both scenarios.
1. All works fine.
2. The same - hangs.
May be there is a way to get very detailed debugging logs?
And I found that Err99 is written only if I press shutter button after DP. So I think it's just a reaction of the camera on unknow error.
Err99 is written (blinking) in the middle of text field in viewfinder, where shutter speed and f-number are normaly writes.

There is a way to get a very detailed log, but needs recompiling of the hack.
Anyway, IMO this will not reveal anything useful, as the log is from canon's firmware with their stuff...

Have you tried to reset to factory defaults the camera ?

Edit:
attached AUTOEXEC.BIN with massive debug enabled.

I can't get logs with this autoexec with the same SETTINGS file.
Reset settings to default gives nothing 🙁
I've just tried Release 20110328-0.bin and it works - menu shows and all works. I'll try another versions...

This one should start with debug-on-power-on, w/o checking the settings file.

Thank you, all guys, for help!!!
I don't know what was that, but night build is working! 😐:
If i'll find out anything about this bug, i'll post it here...

Update: hehe! 400plus-201111111-3 now working too! I just tried old version and now it's all ok.
May be some settings in the camera was broken? But I tried reinstalling firmware, 400plus, formating CF, reset setting to default... Magic.

Good to know it's ok now, though it is essential to know what was the problem. Please if you ever have a clue what was it, share with us. 😉
(I would bet on the camera settings and the factory defaults fixed it, since I don't know which setting is it)

I would like to know it too, but I don't know how to find it..
I tried 400plus after cleaning settings and it didn't worked. May be old version of 400plus could reset some settings?
I'll keep watching at camera's behavior...

if my memory serves me correctly, this is the second time something similar happens: user is suddenly unable to open menus, no matter what he tries, until he install a nightly nuild, and then everything goes back to normal... I'll give an arm and a leg to know why!

Actually everything goes back for me after install of an old version - I could use menu in old version (there is only one menu), so I'm not sure what was the solution - nightly build or old version. I just installed nightly build to test and it worked, so I tried release build and it worked too.

@eduperez

Yes, your memory serves you correct, It was me who had a similar problem like zing before (Post #1442). I never looked through the viewfinder when I had the problem, so I don't know whether I hat an error 99 or not. But in Post 1444 you can read a little bit about what I have done before the error appears.
Since the problem was fixed by the nightly build, I don't had any further problems. 400d works fine and the plus hack is a great enhancement.
Thank you all for your great work.

hi, sorry if this is innapropriate:
my friend with a 400D has asked me if it's possible to use the red eye lamp as a AF Assist illuminator.

Hi, Please translate your messages in English.
I only understood the half of your message, which is about the Chinese menu.
You probably got the original Canon Chinese menu, since we do not have translations in Chinese at this moment.
