Looking for T2i 1.0.8 firmware

[El Director]

I saw that Magic Lantern recently made some new additions for the Rebel and I'm looking at giving it a try. However, the ML release with all the fixes is only for the 1.0.8 firmware. I currently have 1.0.6. Anytime I click on a link that's supposed to take me to 1.0.8, I get sent to 1.0.9. Anyone have the one I need?

Is there no version of the latest ML for 1.0.9? That sucks because I just updated to 1.0.9 without thinking. crap.

There is, but it doesn't have all the features that 1.0.8 has and apparently you can't downgrade (so I'm told)

According to the site here there is a 1.0.9 version but it is experimental so i don't know if that will work or not. I've always been a little scared about firmware modding. I don't want to brick my camera and have an expensive piece of plastic and glass.

I just uploaded the 1.0.9 and according to the support tech from Canon they said that all of the changes on 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 are included in the 1.0.9 upgrade. I couldn't find the 1.0.8 update either so I called them to ask where to get it and that is what they told me.

Magic Lantern for 1.0.9 does not have the newest things (Zebras and histogram) so, unluckily, 1.0.9 will not work. I forget where exactally but a google search will work to find it (It may take awhile, but you will find it)

i do not think you can downgrade, even if you find iy

I'm still running 1.0.6. Thanks David, I'll keep looking

You can downgrade. Read the updated Wiki.
