400d hacked firmware

Hi i installed the hack on my camera and whenever i connect the usb cable to my 400d and try to transfer pics, the camera freezes and ihave to take the battery out to reboot?

This is the firmware hack i got http://code.google.com/p/400d/downloads/list

Only one of my cf card works fine which is a 4gb sandisk one. I have a 2gb one, another 4gb and a 8gb one and all 3 of those do not seem to work and make my camera freeze when i connect it via usb.

What i done to install the hack on other cards is that i simply reformated it, launched that application that makes the cf card bootable and then i simpply copied the same BAT file that came with the download hack

Why did you do that? There is no support for this type of firmware that I'm aware of and it would render any warranty you had as void.

who still has a warranty on a 400d? and why do it? for spot metering and higher ISO.

Just use a card reader to transfer pics from your cards. Way a lot faster.

I can under stand you putting on the hack firm ware as the 400D ISO ceiling is 1600, which very limiting considering what the current DSLR's can do.
I would simple take the advice above get a card reader. It is way faster transfer speeds than the USB cable.
There are plenty of decent portable / pocket size card readers out there !
