As the title says, my update has stuck at 98% for some strange reason. It's not proceeding and finishing the update and it looks like there is nothing i can do about it. :( anyone have any ideas at all ? i checked the filesize and all, everything was correct, no problems there.

It looks like it's stuck in a neverending loop even if i pull the batteries it just can't get out of this loop. :( am i doomed now ?

That's bad :(

If the firmware gets corrupt while writing, it's possible you may have bricked your camera and may need to send it to Canon to get it working again....



7D, 450D | 17-55, 10-22, 55-250, 50 1.8, 580EXII | YN568II | YN622 x3 | Magic Lantern | (Still) Jonesing for a 70-200 2.8...
Turns out a gripped 7D + 622 + 580exII + 70-200 2.8 IS MK2 is BLOODY HEAVY! Who knew?!!
