Hello,
I was wondering if I installed the latest Ptools and installed the 100 latitude patch on my GH1. (Which I did)
How do I install the original version 1.32 that was on the camera? I read the info on the site but was a little confused.
Right now I have a folder that has GH1_132 bin (GH1-133 bin is the 100 latitude patch on my camera now)
ptool3
seta
Do I just copy that GH1_132 bin to an SDHC card and load it? Right now my GH1 says version 0.0 because I loaded the 100 latitude patch
Any help would be apprecited......Thanks

The reason I wanted to go back in forth was to try the 720p 60fps sometimes.......
 
Yes, simply copy Panasonic's firmware GH1__132.bin to the root folder of an SD card and install it just like any other patch.

Note that with the downloadable PTool Settings files referenced in my signature below, you may at any time re-install the original Panasonic GH1 v1.32 firmware into the camera. You may also copy each type of patched or original firmware to separate SD cards, and use them to quickly switch between patches as often as you like.
 
Reinstalling original V1.32 GH1 firmware

Reinstalling original V1.32 GH1 firmware

To be able to reinstall the original GH1 v1.32 firmware, the current camera's firmware version has to be lower.

Since you installed a hack with settings that included the Version Compare (prevent) check, which actively sets the camera's firmware version to 0.0, you do not have this problem.

The best thing to do when applying any hack is to always check that option. An alternative approach would be to have distinct firmware version numbers for different patches (you could recognize the hacks by their firmware version when checking it in-camera), but you would only be able to upgrade in one direction: from low to high. In order to restore the original firmware you would then always have to set the version back to 0.0 by applying (higher verison number) firmware with the Version Compare (prevent) option checked first.

Also, for reflashing firmware on the job, you will have to have a battery (fully) loaded (well enough) for each reflash.
Be aware that you may run out of power at some time.
