Looks likes its kinda our "last" and best alternative to run for. Let's just hope it work out as we all expect. Go Go Coutts! Thousands, no, Millions, no, Billions, no, Trillions of us are counting on you!

well heres where I'm at now:

I modified fir_tool2.py to decrypt/dump from the updater offset to the end of the file (to include the payload), instead of just dumping from the updater offset to the end of the updater.

say 0 is the flasher, 1 is the updater area and 2 is the payload area:

beginning of FIR file --> 0==1====2================== <-- end of FIR file

normally fir_tool2.py only processes the area of 1, but I made it process both 1 and 2 areas.

here goes nothing ;)

Update payload is encrypted with aes 128. Do not waste your time. And the reverse is already done.

just wondering if the old saying 'no news is good news' will apply in this case as Coutts seems to be quiet for a while...maybe on holidays :) or maybe just working ;)

I work 8-5 every day, and works been busy. I haven't made much progress on the 500d specifically, but I've been making some progress understanding the firmware a little more.

the other day I figured out how dm_set_store_level and dm_set_print_level affect the debug log. From this I found that the debug log contains a lot of information - interesting enough it contains all of the vram buffers I spent hours finding, so all of the work looking at RAM dumps trying to locate buffers isn't necessary :P

Well, I think you've done a fantastic job. You could use a break. The only thing at this point I would like to see is maybe the Err 70 nipped :P Otherwise, I think it works damn good, with a lot of features.

You know, yesterday I disabled a lot of the processed, and pretty much, I only have global draw, focus peak, and QScale enabled. Everything else is off.. The Err 70 hasn't happened since. So which one of those processes that I disabled is causing it..

Hello,

Congratulations for the work. I just take the plunge, I installed on my ML
500d I find great new features.
But I have a big problem with "front-focus" on my 500d.
Coutts, I saw that you worked on ML for 50d
I am interested by the function of AF micro-adjust the 50d.
Think it would be possible to bring the AF Micro Adjust on the 500d?

I will continue to test ML.

Thank you in advance.

Regards.

Cordialement
