Please help with used hackable GH1

[importraverxx]

hello,

I just bought a used hackable GH1. It has already been hacked before but the previous owner said all he ticked in Ptool is the 24p native box. I check the version of the camera and it is at 1.33. The serial starts with WE9K, so i'm pretty sure that it is hackable.

Now when I try to use Ptool and apply the 40mb setting that is posted in the other thread, I don't know what increment to set. I try 1, 2 and name the file GH1__133, GH1_134...etc, but it wouldn't update.

How can I find out what number of increment to use? I don't think he check the box "prevent version compare" and the "version increment" when he did it... I'm so confused. Please help me. Thanks.

nevermind, finally got it to work... i just redo the process and saved the file as: GH1_133.bin with both boxes checked and increment of 2 so that it will be 1.34 since in the camera it shows i'm on 1.33.

And it finally works and updated. This forum is awesome, so much useful info!!

Hey buddy, please help me out as I am having some issues too, i posted for help in another tread but haven't got any respond yet, below i've pasted what i posted in another thread.

"Hi guys I am new to dvxuser, I have just brought GH1 yesterday with 1.2 firmware. I did hear about the hack with ptool and I tried doing it myself but it seems like the hack is not working? (Or I am not doing it right!!). Though it's my first time using DSLR I am a quick learner, I did search on the net for step by step instructions on how to hack GH1 (I did lots of forum reading too but still was unsucessful)....

I hope by posting my question, it will help me solve my problems as well as many others that may or are facing similar issues.....So can somone please be kind enough to help me/us out by posting clear instructions here (I guess everyone once went through this, so you know what it's like guys, so help would be very much appreciated)..

Ok i will explain what I've done so far, I went to the following link for instructions http://wiki.eoshd.com/index.php/Begi...Firmware_Guide I've followed and done exact steps that were mentioned in this page and few additionals. Additionals were ticking the "Thrid-party battery" box, ticking the "30min limit removal" box and ticking the "Video Bitrate H" and changing the value to 50,000,000 from 16,000,000 under it (Even though ticking and changing the value for "Video Bitrate H" wasn't mentioned in that page, I done it simply because of the image shown there had a tick in it and some forum reading done before)......By the way lots of forum i read talks about using ptool v3.35 and v3.36 but the ptool I used was v3.40d...not sure if that makes any differences?

Then I saved the firmware naming it GH1_133.BIN (yes with double underscore). Then I copied the saved GH1_133.BIN to empty Class 10 Transcend 16GB memory card and inserted into my GH1. After that I clicked "Playback button" in GH1 and it automatically asked me if I wanted to update to version 1.3 which I selected "Yes" then it started to load and after loading, GH1 restarted (Now at this point, I assume that the hack has been already applied).....Piece of cake!! (that's what I thought!! But how wrong was I?)

I then started to record some videos (without changing any setting in the menu, maybe i have should have? If yes, please let us know what settings to change).....Then I took the memory card out of my GH1 and inserted into my card reader and plugged into USB port and extracted the recorded videos (Can I extract the videos from my GH1 straight using the usb cable that came with GH1? instead of taking the memory card out? If yes, how? Because I tried doing it, but my PC didn't find any USB connection, maybe because I should have installed the software that came with my GH1? (which I didn't) I simply didn't do it because I thought it was going to update the firmware version automatically and I dind't wanted to take the risk of having the latest firmware updated in my GH1 where I wouldn't be able to apply the hack if I am right?? and I did make sure that I only buy GH1 with specific firmware so I can apply the hack).....

After looking at the video shot from my GH1 I was sad ....(because it had very similar quality comparing to my £200 camcorder where as I spent £800 for GH1).....I also compard the videos which I shot earlier without trying to apply hack and the quality were very similar??.....So guys this is my sad story (LOL)....please help me/us out

Thank you very much for taking your time to read this. Help and answers to all questions asked above would be very very very much appreciated.....

Now I helplessly wait for a super man ...hahaha good day "
