Debug alone isn't an issue. The newer camera firmware doesn't read write data to the lens.

Can you be more specific? There's a k-50 image setup to deploy onto k-30...

I also missed that you had tried directly editing vs downloading the file to SD.

I am very sick but at some point I can actually attempt to edit using either a k-3 or k-1. I normally do my conversions with a k100d or k100d super. After editing I can verify the changes if it works. But that may be weeks... If my wife's experience repeats itself.

Others reported it as not working on the k-3 specifically but I haven't tried it myself. It is possible the reports of it not being useable were incorrect.

Remember that you can resell the old body when you are done.

As far as I know the k-5 series was the last camera that allowed the debug functions related to lens eeprom reading and writing.
The k-50 did not allow this. The k-3 also did not.
The k-3 series also has the debug functions listed but they do not do anything when selected.

It would seem the ability to program the lens ROM was removed from later models firmware - is it possible to graft back in from older models?

Some cameras like the k-3 have the requisite screens but won't perform the write to the lens even when told to do so.

Just double checking - there is not a way to upgrade to K-50 firmware supporting PLM for the K-500 - correct? The attempts to date have resulted in locked up cameras that were recovered using the methods listed in the last few posts but not working PLM if I understand things correctly.

Weird. I sent a boatload of lens files. Pm me and I can send you an email to reply to me on. Maybe then we can get my email to you. As for what to do / how to - I only have fully documented the k100d process.

Well that was counter-intuitive but thank you.
Lensroms from a number of lenses just emailed.

Does this PDF exist yet? What is the method needed for the K-5 with latest firmware?

k100D (not super)
1: Put an SD card (prefer blank but any with space will work) in the slot DO NOT CLOSE THE SD CARD DOOR
2: Hold INFO and AE-L then power up
3: Press MENU, MENU then INFO within 5 seconds
:You now enter the debug mode
