Update:

  1. I've found out that when I connect the HDMI and remove it, the NX1 shows the battery status again. So I've found a way to flash the firmware
  2. I've hex-edited the firmware to v1.42 so the camera would update. I've done this for 1.41 and 1.40 so now I have a downgraded version, but I still have the problems.

So doing all this has shown me that it actually IS a hardware problem. I guess I have to open it up sometime.

Fu-Raz, my humble apologies, please define NX1 firmware v1.4.2?
NOTE: The below concise timeline equally applies to NX500

1. Samsung officially released NX1 v1.4.0
2. Samsung mods (not made by Samsung) were created, distributed, tested against Samsung's official NX1 v1.4.0.
3. Samsung officially released NX1 v1.4.1 which fixed and broke the following:
3.1 Fixed a Bluetooth issue.
3.2 Purposely broke the ability to re-apply the Samsung 1.4.0 mods, as well as greatly limiting the ability to add value to new mods.
4. The vast majority of NX1 mod users either refrained from installing official v1.4.1 thus remaining at official v1.4.0, or uninstalled official v1.4.1 reinstalled official v1.4.0 reinstalled v1.4.0 mods.
Please explain what v1.4.2 is

Very Best Regards,
