Thanks all I tried both of those without success Sometimes these updates require that nothing else be on the memory card except the update. Section 4 has the instructions on how to use EOS Utility to update the firmware. The extracted file from the download also creates a folder: 'update-procedure-pdf'.

Since there's no user changeable clock/memory battery the camera it can sorta reboot itself if the main battery is left out for an some period of time, see bottom gray area on page 40, however there's no mention on how long the battery needs to be left out. Have you tried a different battery? Also try resetting the camera settings to factory, see page 61 in the manual. I did try a different memory card and downloading it again but no luck BTW is the camera currently working normally otherwise? If not then something may have hiccuped somewhere and bricked the camera's firmware which would then need to be sent in to Canon Service. ^ If that doesn't fix it then download the update 1.1.2 from the Canon support site again. This may be obvious but have you tried a different memory card?
