bocaburger Posted December 30, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 30, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) My new-to-me used M240 will come with 2.0.1.7. Have a lot of people who upgraded been having lockup issues with it? (There was one thread which speculated it might be the cause). If so, does anyone know if I can proactively backtrack to 2.0.1.5? I have it on a locked SD card from when I upgraded my current M240. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted December 30, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 30, 2014 There have been some alarming reports, but mine came back from a shutter repair and CLA last month and I noticed no difference at all. I had to check which firmware: 2.0.17 had been installed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocaburger Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted December 30, 2014 Thanks. I've read the reports and what strikes me as odd is people didn't have lockup issues until weeks after upgrading. It would seem to me if a bug had been introduced in the firmware it should have been apparent immediately. Unless something in firmware can burn out a hardware circuit over time I'd like to know if anyone has successfully backstepped to 2.0.1.5 though. I would do it in a heartbeat but afraid that in itself could mess up the camera, and void the warranty, which would be a major disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 30, 2014 Share #4 Posted December 30, 2014 I don't think there wold be major disaster, the camera would either accept the old firmware or it would refuse imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardkaraa Posted December 30, 2014 Share #5 Posted December 30, 2014 Is there any reason one shouldn't use the latest fw? I didn't update mine because I didn't find it contained any useful improvements but I wasn't aware it caused lock ups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 30, 2014 Share #6 Posted December 30, 2014 I my case it does not. I wouldn't have uploaded it either as it is only the addition of a few lenses which I do not have. It just came back from Wetzlar on this version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted December 30, 2014 Share #7 Posted December 30, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) No change as far as I can see - I had rare lockups before upgrading, and I've had one since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1945 Posted January 15, 2015 Share #8 Posted January 15, 2015 I bought a M240 (used) and upgraded the Firmware to the latest available less than a month ago. It's the 2.0.1.7 and I have not experienced any "lock ups". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bocaburger Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share #9 Posted January 15, 2015 My new-to-me M240 that came with .7 has not had any lockups or other issues. So I upgraded my other one from .5 just to have them on the same page. No lockups with that one either. Usually if a new firmware was the cause of bricking a few M240s it would be bricking them right and left, but in this case because all it does is add the new Summarit's coding, I suspected very few people upgraded who don't own or plan on buying them, so the data could be skewed. Nice to know all seems to be well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Lowe Posted January 15, 2015 Share #10 Posted January 15, 2015 I upgraded my M to 2.0.1.7 when it arrived. I think I've shot around 800 photos over the past couple of weeks and no lockups so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
