Change name from a6000 to a6001 on MacOS #352

I've been trying to figure out how to change my camera's name from a6000 to a6001 on a mac so I could get the app to connect with my gimbal.

I've seen these instructions from of the threads and tried to follow accordingly but I couldn't seem to get it to work:

In case someone wants a full guide on how to change the model of Sony A6000 (based on @mungewell's and @syntaxer's post):

  1. Install the OpenMemories: Tweak app on your camera and go to the Protection tab and select Unlock protected settings.
  2. Run the pmca-console through the command line / terminal with the flag updatershell (i.e. pmca-console-v0.17-win.exe updatershell).
  3. Then change the model name from ILCE-6000 to ILCE-6001 with the following command: bk w 0x003e0005 49 4c 43 45 2d 36 30 30 31 00 00 00 00 00 00 00.
  4. If you want to reset the model name to ILCE-6000 just write bk w 0x003e0005 49 4c 43 45 2d 36 30 30 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00.

I've been trying to run the pmca-console from the terminal (i.e. pmca-gui-v0.17-osx.dmg updatershell) but I keep on getting command not found or permission denied.

The farthest I've got was right-clicking on the pmca console and selecting new terminal at folder. The console opened along with the terminal window but I couldn't get bk w 0x003e0005 49 4c 43 45 2d 36 30 30 30 00 00 00 00 00 00 00. to work.

Also, I've placed the pmca-console file on my desktop instead of the applications folder. I have yet to try connecting to the wi-fi and starting a telnet server.

Would be great to know how some of you did it on a mac. Thanks!

Sorry, but this tool requires some basic knowledge about working with the terminal.
