Rx100m5a rx100VA

[Riaandw79]

Is there any way to force install open memories tweak on the rx 100 m5A? Install reports camera not supported. Probably the same firmware as m6. Would this be included in future development?

The tweak made the m3 bearable, but now stuck without intervalometer and auto-sync to cloud

In the latest development build, tweaks should now be supported for this camera, too. You can use pmca-console serviceshell or the "Start tweaking (service mode)" button in the Tweaks tab of pmca-gui. This will require the installation of custom USB drivers.

If you manage to run it, I would be interested in a firmware dump. You can dump the firmware using pull /dev/nflashaB0 and pull /dev/nflasha in serviceshell. Please upload the files to my dropbox. Thanks!

Awesome ma1co! Let me see what I can accomplish there. Update to follow.

Not sure if I am doing this correctly.

When running pmca-console-v0.18-6-g295cbc8-win a cmd window opens and then auto closes. Any other way to dump the firmware?

[ma1co]

The RX100M5A does not have the android subsystem, so app installation won't work, sadly. However, things like the language tweak should work.

To dump the firmware, pmca-console has to be used. Open a windws command prompt, change to the directory where you have downloaded pmca-console, then run pmca-console-v0.18-6-g295cbc8-win serviceshell. Then you can run the two pull commands.

Ah, makes sense now. I found android overlay app for remote control which solves timelapse luckily.

Ok, console working.

log as follows.

Looks like pmca-console doesn't have write permissions in the current folder on your computer? You can try pull /dev/nflasha C:\path\to\some\writable\directory

[Riaandw79]

That solved it. Uploading now!

Great, thank you for the dump!

Thank you. Keep up the good work!
