I've been reading this thing a lot and decided I try it for myself, but I'm a little hesitant on the installation, I don't know anything about the hacking thing. Can anyone teach me how to install this firmware? also is there a way to go back to the original firmware if I want to?

:) Apparently you did not read this topic a lot as you said.
All the instructions can be found at the beginning of the discussion.
And yes, you can go back to the original thing by just formatting your card.

Hi, all!

Thanks a lot to those who contributed to this hack.  Made a lot of people happy!

I just want to report a problem that some users might have experienced as well.

I use a 4G and 1G CF card.  I ran Vista Home Premium and all my Canon utilities are the latest (e.g. EOS Utility 2.6.10).

The hack works perfectly with my camera.

But when I try to connect it to the PC, EOS utility won't download the pictures and the camera is left hanging (even after you turn off the switch) until you remove the batteries completely.  While it hangs, there's no visible activity (no blinking lights, etc.) on the camera.

I tried staying connected longer to see if EOS utility will appear.  I tried accessing the camera using windows explorer and I'm able to access the contents but it takes several minutes before it is able to go down each folder.  EOS utility when connect to the computer still.

I tried formatting the card using FAT and FAT32 but the behavior remains the same.  

I also tried setting the camera at "spot metering" and iSO3200.  I also tried it at "evaluative metering" and ISO100.  As well as different combinations.  Behavior remains the same (EOS utility cannot download).

I noticed though that when the number of shots is small (as in around 5), the camera and EOS utility connects.  When the number of pics are high (e.g. 15), that's when the failed connection occurs.

What gives?

I also noticed that the battery runs out faster.  But I need to make more observations.

Regards,
Jordan C.

TO THOSE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING PROBLEM WITH TRANSFERING IMAGES:

When you install CHKD to your memory card, EOS utility blocks the hack for i don't know what reason..so if you usb connect the your camera to PC/laptop, or use a card reader to transfer images, EOS utility will not allow you to transfer the images.

-I use a 2GB CF card, my 400D hangs everytime I USB connect it to PC
-Via card reader, I cannot transfer images because the PC cannot read the files..

SOLUTION:

-I use another PC without EOS Utility to perform the transfer operation. - Works normally

Isn't there any fix on the firmware for that? I'm really dependent on EOS util to transfer and sort my images......I wouldn't want to give up ISO 3200 and spot metering.....

Using Lightroom to transfer images from the camera directly works great

I'm using the better ISO 1/3 steps (surprisingly usable at ISO3200, just pretend it's compact camera at ISO400 :-), new focus patterns (I like the "X" shaped 5-point pattern) and the spot metering is quite useful in some situations too.

I haven't tried AutoISO yet

I have not tried EOS Utility but I am using "ZoomBrowser EX Memory Card Utility". No problems using it with the hack.

The EOS utility works fine with a card reader and the mode 'monitor folder'.

slight problem: I formatted my CF using the camera, not realizing that the hack was gone until i actually needed the ISO...I copied testfir.fir again but it won't work anymore...do I have to flash it again?

NO ! Delete testfir.fir from your CF, it's not use !

You have to do the following:
-Reformatting the CF with the bootflag on
-Copying Autoexec.bin
-profit
