I see you have updated with 1.3 already. Thank you ever so much for doing this!

Many Thanks, made my day!!/b

Good afternoon.Can i ask a stupid question?How can i unbrick OM-1 after unsuccessful firmware upgrade attempt?I downloaded OM Workspace. And started upgrade from 1.1 up to 1.3. And at moment of installation firmware in OM-1, it was unplugged. It was stupid thing, i know.Now, OM-1 turns on in a brick. It does not reacting to anything.May be there is something, how i can revive it?Thank you.

First, my sympathies :]If the camera is truly dead, I guess it won't let you fix the firmware either, and only a repair by OM Digital Solutions can revive it. But maybe deep inside there's still a little life in it..? Have you tried to follow the instructions that have been posted on Github? The link is in the opening post of this topic.

Thank you for your advice. The method from the article helped me.

Thank you for your advice. The method from the article helped me.That's great to hear! Is your camera OK now, does everything work well again?

Everything fine. Fw 1.3 is much better then 1.1.

Worked for me too , I think I had to start the camera pushing the menu Botton , and ok button. Glad you got yours back. Years ago my 300 f4 bricked had to send it to Olympus they flashed and cleaned the lens for free. Great service.

Everything fine. Fw 1.3 is much better then 1.1.Wonderful!  I think this is the first confirmation here in the forum that a user can un-brick his own Oly/OMDS camera by doing a card-based firmware upgrade.

Excellent indeed! If this can be repeated we don't have to fear the lens FW upgrades either. If they brick the camera we can just install the camera FW again.Or is my thinking wrong?iKenndac, you are my hero! 🥰😉

Does anybody know if a downgrade from OM1 firmware 1.3 to 1.2 will also work with the SD card method?Some OM1 owners reported 1.2 is better than 1.3 regarding C-AF, especially in case of subjects not moving

I just verified that both the OM-1 and E-m5 mark III could load their respective firmwares (1.4 and 1.7) on a 128GB UHS-II Delkin V90 card.I haven't tried it, but I think in the past, I did see the E-m1 mark II did not load the firmware.

Thanks!

Where is there access to the FW files without using Workspace? Thanks!See the opening post and both links in it.

If I'm not mistaken, neither of those links have the most recent FW for anything other than the OM1.
