HELP: Error while updating FW 1.31 in NX1 - Camera unusable

What the hell!!!

Something has gone wrong while updating to FW 1.31 and my camera is unusable.

This is not the first upgrade, I've let it finish without trouble, I've recieved the Firmware finished message, but nevertheless somehow something has gone fubar.

My camera seems to complete the fw update fine but then the Mode Dial and the Drive dial don't work. I mean they erratically change their function and they don't match the selected one. As example I can be in A (phisically) but in Smart mode or in P (phisically) but in M...

I've tried reinstalling FW 1.10 (and 1.22 and 1.30 and 1.31 again) and the process finishes (or rather seems to finish) fine but the FUBAR behaviour continues unchanged.

  • Do you have any ideas? (Other than going to Samsung service...)
  • Do you know how to FULLY reinstall the camera software? I'm asking this question because FW 1.10 bin file is 746 Mb big while other FWs are about 350 Mb. So it really seems that they do not contain the WHOLE system but just partial upgrades and therefore if something goes wrong they cannot actually fix it...

Thanks in advance!!!
