Ahh Praise the Lord!I decided to try again, and guess what?

Did you manage to roll back then or did 421 install over 420? Just curious.

The big take from this is that firmware updates should be treated in the same manner as Windows updates, which should as a matter of good practice be deferred for a minimum of 30 days pending the fixing of any issues which might arise, firmware update 2.40 being a case in point . The only exception to this which would really be only applicable to Windows would be updates to counter serious security issues.
Just sayin...

I would like the grass to look as green on my neighbours side of the fence as it does on mine!

I should start this post with the fact I am now in my eightieth year and updating my Pentax cameras has become almost an impossible task for me. Is it imperative that I update? My k3ii, K70 and K1 (as far as I am aware) function perfectly with all my lenses both old and new. Advice please. Regards John.
There's an old adage which is as valid today as it has always been; 'If it ain't broke - don't fix it' I should start this post with the fact I am now in my eightieth year and updating my Pentax cameras has become almost an impossible task for me. Is it imperative that I update? My k3ii, K70 and K1 (as far as I am aware) function perfectly with all my lenses both old and new. Advice please. Regards John.
No - you don't need to update it.

I don't think so but I've not investigated too deeply, from memory I do recall it being done on another camera, a version of the K-3 believe.Defragged wrote:
Yea you can Barrie. There are a good number of people on the Pentax forums who have done so and if I'm not mistaken (though I could be) I believe the K3 allows this as well.
Any way, if in fact it can't be done then the option simply won't be made available.
Is this just the case because of the 2.40 update issue or can it always be done?Yea you can Barrie. There are a good number of people on the Pentax forums who have done so and if I'm not mistaken (though I could be) I believe the K3 allows this as well.

But as I say, that's from memory which can sometime let us down.

If you get the v230 from Steve who has very kindly offered to provide it and run it it should give you the option to revert to v230If it doesn't give the option then quite simply you won't be able to and no harm will be done. However, I'm confident that it will work.
You can but try it. I don't have a K-1 ll so I'm not in a position to experiment.
You can look through the comments here link and you will see confirmation that others have done just this. Good luck.

Changes to V2.41 from V2.40
[Corrected items]
The following problems that occurred when updating to firmware version 2.40 have been corrected.
Corrected --- Images cannot be recorded when the ASTROTRACER Type 3 mode is combined with the interval shooting function
Corrected --- The SD card slot indicators 1 and 2 on the upper LCD panel flash to indicate that the memory capacity is empty, even when some capacity is still available.
Corrected --- The number of remaining shots available is incorrectly displayed in the viewfinder.
Corrected --- In the ASTROTRACER Type 3 mode, the exposure countdown on the upper LCD panel advances at unintended moments.
Improved stability for general performance.
* When this update is done, the contents of version 2.40 and earlier will be also updated.
* When this update is done, you will not be able to restore back to version 2.40 or earlier.
