I attempted the install process multiple times which included formating the card before each attempt. After pressing the Menu button, I would see the same panels I am used to seeing except the firmware version stated it was an ML version. ML also provided a link to that version.Īll seemed to go well during the install process but after following the instructions to restart the camera, Magic Lantern would never start. I did have to revert back to an older firmware version (from 1.1.2 to 1.1.1) to get ML to install. They may have posted the wrong version to the download link, I don't know.

I had clicked on the 60D link multiple times during this entire process. I have given up on installing Magic Lantern. The alternate memory card had nothing but the latest firmware version 1.1.2on it and I installed it as quick as I could. The following morning I had an idea: try a different memory card. I pulled the battery from the camera, and frustrated I went to bed for the night. As soon as I would open the memory card door to insert a memory card, the unit would shut off and would not power back on after the card was inserted. I tried connecting the EOS utility and that did connect but there was no way to reload firmware from that program. I began to panic because it felt like my awesome camera had become a paper weight.Īfter struggling with the unit I discovered I could power it on but only by following the exact steps above and in that order. On my 3rd attempt I noticed the 60D stopped powering on at all. That is, I saw Install Successful dialogs after each install but when I repowered the 60D, Magic Lantern would never fire up. I wanted to load Magic Lantern onto my 60D. My awesome camera was now effectively useless!!!!! Unit will only power on if no memory card is present!!!!!I was freaking out. Remove battery and then reinstall charged battery.Problem: After a couple of apparent failed Magic Lantern firmware loading attempts, my 60D would only turn on if I followed this specific procedure. I found a fix to my problem and I’d like to share it.
