Just how many cameras got bricked, after trying to set the boot flag to 1?
I just got a used 350d, but cannot afford yet another camera if things go south. So i was wondering how many bricked their camera, while having firmware version 1.0.3, as opposed to how many did not?
Don't be fooled, i did read through the entire topic before asking, and i know there were a couple of ppl that had 1.0.2 firmware, and at least 1 guy who had 1.0.3, but i wonder if i forget anything. Don't feel 100% ready to do this yet. Also i want to apply the hack only for the shutter count.
One more thing maybe someone can verify this, i am curious. I know u can't get shutter actuations from 350d reading exif info, but, i was wondering if someone can check this.
I read that the shutter count is stored in the file. Just open a RAW file in a hex editor and search for the string "00 00 00 00 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF". The shutter count is right in front of this hex string, in hex format of course. Can someone that has applied the hack confirm this ?
After all this is what i am after, i am just starting photography.
