GH2 DO NOT POST SEPARATE THREADS: GH2 Hack | Questions and Answers Thread

At the 176 Mbit data rate it works out to roughly 1 GB of storage per minute of footage, so a 16 GB card holds 16 minutes of video.
 
I am wondering if it is possible for Vitaly to add other framerates, or is that a hardware function? Would it be possible to have 1080p48? I know 60p isn't possible, but would 48p be possible?
 
Can someone recommend a nice low level patch that will be better than stock, but not insane? I will be out of town with 5 16gb cards, so ideally i'd get atleast an hour out of each card, rather than 4 minutes. All cards are class 6 (20MB/s) or better. Cbrandin's low level patch is great. Sanity seemed decent but all 720/60p stuff is all-auto. Feel free to PM if you have a bunch of suggestions!

Thank you in advance for your help!

I haven't worked with PNY cards, but if they are legit and not a knockoff, you should be able to use the Cbrandin 44M settings (or the low settings which are 32M, still higher bitrate than stock). Give it a try!
 
i jus hacked my gh2 with the 42m settings, i want to rehack it because i didnt do 30min removal and ntsc/pal ect..
is it ok to re-do the hack?
 
How do you hack the Japanese version? When I load the SD card and press the green play button, a message in Japanese appears that I don't understand.
thanks
 
Can you hack GH2s with firmware 1.1 installed?

Can you hack GH2s with firmware 1.1 installed?

Hey guys, I'm trying to hack my camera (hard when it's in Japanese!) and have noticed it has firmware versions 1.0 and 1.1.

As I understand it, Vitaliy is working on hacking 1.1 and should have it donw soon, right?

In the meantime, can I remove the 1.1 and replace it with a hacked 1.0 version?

Thanks for your help.
 
I just hacked mine 2 nights ago for the first time. Bought the cam in Dec., then updated with the new 1.1 - so yes, it can be done.
 
I'm in Japan and can understand some Japanese - any way you take a picture of the screen with the message and show it?
 
Thanks Danny...but I don't understand how you could hack it with 1.1 - I didn't think it was hackable yet? Or did you replace 1.1 with hacked 1.0?
Thanks
 
I just wrote over 1.1 with the hack. What happened was when I opened ptools I had to load a copy of the old firmware 1.0 in that folder and then loaded a hack which I then saved as a new file and used that to update the in camera frimware. You may be really interested in EOSHD's hacks as they allow you to change the language to English. I would have gotten the camera back in the fall in Japan but J cams only have J language. So, I got it during black friday week for $1000 (about ¥80,000) which is about 200 bucks cheaper than here and it had the Eng. menus.
 
Ah, well in english, there are two choices that show up Yes and NO. It highlights NO by default, cursor up one for yes. Really not sure if that's what you get in Japanese though.
 
"Can you hack GH2s with firmware 1.1 installed"

Nope. Right now "YOU" can't. It won't be long before "YOU" can though.
 
To clarify (at least as I understand it).
* You CAN replace the 1.1 firmware with hacked 1.0 firmware. So in that sense you can hack a 1.1 camera, though it's no longer a 1.1 camera.
* You CAN switch back and forth between hacked 1.0 firmware and stock 1.1
* You CAN'T create hacked 1.1 firmware - though the new ptool should include that feature.

Is that right?

I'm shooting in 2 weeks and need 25p so I'm really hoping that hacked 1.1 comes soon.
