Hello sir,its nice to know your works,can you help me with unlocking the language of DSC WX 200,its in Japanese. I have tried the console and the gui,i think its not compatible with the updatershell. thanks and more power dsc wx200

ma1co commented 3 years ago

The WX200 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:

Download the newest development build of pmca-console here.
Download 0x31020000.zip and place it in the same folder (no need to unpack). It contains a bunch of firmware images which might match your camera.
Power on your camera and connect it over USB to your computer.
Open a command prompt and run the following command: pmca-console guess_firmware -f 0x31020000.zip
With a bit of luck, the script should find the model id of your camera.

Let me know if you need any help.

Thank you, the WX200 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 boot on your computer. Please zip them and upload the file to my dropbox.

Thank you for your help!
