This is very strange. If both, PK Tether and Debug menu from the SD Card won't work
it seems something got corrupted. I would first try to solve this before investing in the solenoid repair.
If you could bring your K30 back to the old firmware all should normally be fine.
I have done that quite a few times just to test it and it aways worked and I could get into the debug menu.
Are you 100% certain that you do the debug menu correct, i.e. the files are not in any folder but next to the folder.
Only then can the camera recognize it.
So often that I did that (also with other Pentax) that I just wonder if something of the SD-Card slot (contacts) are bent or some dirt.
I just cannot understand why it doesn't work.
Did you try contacting ABel personally? I know he hasn't been here in this forum for a long time. No idea why.
But try!

Now this whole things seems to have it's own life with different stages of behaviour.
When I turned the camera on today it behaved normaly. No freezing when switching through the menus.
However what have changed since the whole thing started is that now the Solenoid has failed.
I wonder if that update and all the problems that followed it, might have triggered it or if that was just a coincidence?
Just coincidence! Has nothing to do with the SD card issue.
But test in AV Mode again and again if with lets say f22 in M Mode you get 100% correct pictres.
If it continues to behave normally then do the solenoid repair!
