dsc-hx50v #309

Closed vadcon78 closed 5 years ago

vadcon78 commented 5 years ago

hi... i got a japanese locked version of the dsc hx50v. i was hoping this tweak of your can be applied to the hx50v for the purpose of language change. the camera i have is only displaying japanese and no other language option. the pmca-gui won't work with it. any other solution is welcomed. you help is much appreciated.

ma1co commented 5 years ago

The HX50V can probably be added. As a first step, we have to dump its firmware. If you're interested to help, here's what you can do:

Let me know if you need any help.

Thank you, the HX50 is now supported in updatershell.

The next step is to dump the firmware. Here's how to do that:

  • Download the newest build of pmca-console.
  • Connect the camera.
  • Run pmca-console updatershell
  • Run the following updatershell command to dump the firmware (this will take some time to complete): pull /dev/nflasha
  • Run the following updatershell command to dump the bootloader partitions: bootloader
  • Run the following updatershell command to reboot your camera back to normal mode: exit
  • You should now have files called nflasha and boot1 to boot5 on your computer. Please zip them and upload the file to my dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/request/WXQ1IKIoPo4ECK8CFxRx.

Thank you for your help!

vadcon78 commented 5 years ago

okay.. i got it... i went with option 5 to Unlock protected settings.

from there i'm able to unlock all the other tweak options.

the next step is just to figure out which of the japanese menu is the language setting.

for the dsc-hx50v click MENU button, select the toolbox symbol, go to main settings (Hammer symbol) - choose English.

thanks for the great help ma1co!

Hi - thank you for the amazing work on this. I tried to change the 30 minute limit, and it shows [X] (for this option 1: [ ] Disable video recording limit)

But when I do a recording it still turns off at 29 minutes. Any ideas? Thank you! @ma1co

Ah never mind ... it works if I change this to AVCHD. Thank you again @ma1co

can you help me with that ?

ma1co commented 3 years ago

Just run the following command: pmca-console-v0.17-35-gb504119-win updatershell It will guide you through switching to updater mode. Once your camera has switched, it will show you a promt (>). Once you are there, enter the following: pull /dev/nflasha

The DSC-WX5 should be supported in the development builds. There are no tweaks available, however, since this is a very old camera.

Hello @ma1co I recently acquired a Japanese version of Sony HDR CX700. I'm trying to follow the discussion here in the forum to change the language in my camcorder, but I'm hitting a wall. When I try to install OpenMemories:Tweak this is what I get.

Also, a quick note that I tried running the pmca-console-v0.18-win but it just opens for a second and then automatically closes.

jojoanamarie commented 2 years ago

Update: I've figured it out :)

I just needed to connect the charger to the camera while it's connected to my laptop. I was able to use the GUI :D

Hello ma1co! Do you know if it works on Sony a7c ?? I live in Japan and want to buy the camera but the menu is all only in japanese :(

Hi @alexflear, long-shot but my buddy here in Australia is Japanese and purchased the A7C only to find it's locked to English (he'd prefer Japanese). Again long-shot but we're traveling to Japan (Chiba) in January, maybe you'd like to buy locally and do a trade?

velobianchi commented 1 year ago

hello ma1co, I also have a Japanese Cyber-shot DSC HX50v. the pmca-gui won't work with it, I'm not sure if I'm doing this correctly, should I install and run pmca-console v0.17 first then install run pmca-gui? I ran pmca-gui but I get error Unknown device: DSC-HX50V

when I open the pmca-console v0.17.exe file, a small window opens up for 1 sec, then disappears, basically nothing happens. Should I see a seperate window (gui) for the pcma-console? I am able to open the pmca-gui window no problem.

I see that you fixed this issue with another user(same camera model), hoping that you can help me out too, thanks in advance.
