SD950 - previously unknown firmware!!

I've bought a refurbished SD950 (actually an Ixus 960) from Canon. I chose that model because apparently all known firmware versions were CHDK capable. Of course, I get one with firmware that no-one has seen before (1.00E.) Has anyone got any suggestions as to what I might do? I've tried 1.00d - the camera hangs and I have to remove and replace the battery before it will switch on again. Many thanks.

This means a new port will be required for this camera. If you are developer, this it is fairly straightforward to add support for a new firmware version of an existing port.

You can try to get a firmware dump. This camera is old enough that the "dryos" version of udumper should work. You can set this up using cardtricks.

Thanks for your quick response!

I've managed to get a firmware dump - it starts with gaonisoyP, so it looks OK... what should I do next?

Upload the dump somewhere, e.g. on a free hoster like Megaupload or zShare , then post the link here...

Thanks to you too, FE50! OK, here it is...

SD950 1.00E firmware dump

Of course, I would be very happy to act as beta tester.

If I ought to post this link elsewhere please tell me. I've been a member of the forum for 18 hours and I'm already amazed by the help I've received.
