MikeD70 Posted August 8, 2024 Share #4  Posted August 8, 2024 Ditto, had the same problem this morning, tried a couple of cards, then went to the Leica app, and let it do the upgrade. Good job finding that fix! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgek Posted August 8, 2024 Share #5 Â Posted August 8, 2024 I had this same problem. Pretty darn sloppy on Leica's part. Thanks to all of you for this resource where answers to these issues can be quickly found! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve19958 Posted August 8, 2024 Share #7  Posted August 8, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) Used Fotus app to update to 2.05. No issues using this method. Accesing a selected profile and going back to profile settings the profile selection goes back to the default setting. Cannot tell what profile I had previously loaded. I have to set it again. Did it do this before update?  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Le Chef Posted August 9, 2024 Share #8  Posted August 9, 2024 Did you follow the process? Before the camera installs the updated firmware, it asks if you want to export your profiles to your SD card. After installing the firmware you go to the tab that lists the profiles and reimport them to the camera. Done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwr50 Posted August 9, 2024 Share #10  Posted August 9, 2024 Turns out the firmware update that was designed to fix bugs itself has an obvious bug.  Not Leica’s finest hour . . . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the camera installs the updated firmware, it asks if you want to export your profiles to your SD card. After installing the firmware you go to the tab that lists the profiles and reimport them to the camera. Done. Yes, just before starting the update it asks you to use the previously saved profiles which I did, all the saved profiles are listed after the update. I selected a profile to use. Turn the camera off, switch it back on and go to the profiles the previous profile is not shown in the User Profile in the Status screen, only the default is listed. Now I don't know which profile I loaded. So I have to choose the profile again to be sure. After the update once you select a previously saved  User Profile it's number is NOT shown in the User Profile icon in the Status Screen. "The camera re-starts with the same settings as when it is switched off." This still works.  Here is a FAQ posting from member @Corius here Quote OK, here's a quick guide to User Profiles. I've written this in previous posts, but now we have a FAQ. 1) The camera re-starts with the same settings as when it is switched off. There are a couple of transitory settings where this doesn't happen, but they are pretty unusual. 2) The User Profiles store virtually ALL camera settings with the exception of Shutter Speed, Aperture etc. Even the current display bars are stored. 3) Once you select a previously saved  User Profile it's number will be shown in the User Profile  icon in the Status Screen 4) ANY changes to settings will mean that the number shown for the current User Profile is no longer shown. There is no way to tell what User Profile you were previously in, or what the change was. This is a shortcoming of the UI 5) If you select eg User Profile 1, and then change a setting you will no longer see the "1" in the Status Screen (see 4 above), but if you change the setting back the "1" will re-appear. 6) The icon with an "S" is the Standard Profile Setting. The Standard Profile Setting can not be changed 7) The icon with an "X" is just a means of exiting the menu. This is VERY confusing  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M11 for me Posted August 9, 2024 Share #14 Â Posted August 9, 2024 What seems to me to be really incredible: Now, over 24 hours later, on the Leica download sites the wrong file name is still NOT corrected yet . . . . They seem not to bother about their customers and prefer drinking coffees and chat about coming weekend . . . Such an error should be corrected within minutes.
