Does not work with my camera. It show's update error and stays black when I try to use the auto boot method. I have a US sx230 with Firmware version 1.00C.
for the time being, I don't think we can assume that a 1.01a firmware is going to be compatible with our 1.00c cameras. I mean the code may be close, but just one address change and it wouldn't work.
Should it work if stone17 is using firmware version v1.00c? I would think the two versions would not be compatible. However, I did try to boot using your diskboot.bin file on my v1.01a camera. I also ended up with a black screen, and was not able to boot the camera. It may have been due to an error on my end, however, so don't automatically assume that it was your mistake. Just thought I'd let you know. I attempted to boot following the instructions at http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/CHDK/Installing_with_Cardtricks. I also tried the first method listed at http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ#Q._How_do_I_manually_load_CHDK_so_I_can_use_it.3F with no success. In that instance, the camera turned on but reported the memory card as locked. The firmware update menu did not appear. Please tell me if you are aware of a different method that may work.
As a side note, is a ps.fir or ps.f12 file needed for the boot for any reason?
Can someone comment whether it's better to use the playback-firmware-update method to test or the locked-card-autoload? Is it safer to use one way or another? Would one test code that the other wouldn't?
I would assume to try to get CHDK to load, we want to use the most reliable method .... which one is it? I always manual load for the most part
Also, my SX230 is having problems with its mode selection jogdial. I'm gonna have to send it back, so I might get yet another version back. (Stupid jogdial, i select Av and it'll be M sometimes, Av some other times... and I already put a screen protector on it
)
