Re: NX5 Firmware Update Failed Horribly

Hi. Thank you so much for your help so far.

I am making some progress and think I might be able to fix this with your help. I am pretty sure that the camera now has either NX5 or NX10 firmware on it. The reason I think that is because if I try the up/down combo to get into the Developer Menu it does nothing, whereas the left/right combo does get me somewhere. I still can't see anything on the screen or EVF but I can get it to a point where the green light does start flashing as if it is updating the firmware.

But how do I know when it is finished? Obviously I can't see the blue bar so is it just when the green light stops flashing? I have tried it a few times but after the green light stops flashing I do the half shutter press but I still get nothing on the screen. If I turn the camera off and back on I still have no screen.

But the fact that I can get it to the flashing green light stage gives me hope.

Now, could the fact that it is not quite working properly be anything to do with the fact that the NX5 firmware on the Samsung website seems to be the same for the NX5 and NX10? I have tried renaming the file to both NX5 and NX10 and neither seems to work.

Is there anywhere I can download the original version of the NX5 firmware and try that? And would I have to call it NX5.bin or NX10.bin?
