I'm in the same boat as you. I think this camera has some kind of language lock due to regional licenses.

[Matvienkoilia]

Yes, would be helpful. Getting the same error. Although with the latest build got "Error: This device does not support apps" - not sure if it is correct error. Or if there is any other way around.

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.

And by using the GUI I also get this

Any ideas? ZV-E10 V2.00

[dazhbog]

OK problem solved. Have to check "unlock protected settings" first. Then Unlock languages! Works yay!

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.

Dear dazhbog, mac1co I'm a new guy come. Could you please guide me how to use "development build" method. I'm struckling with my sony zv-e10. I just know how to use GUI in window (.exe file) thank you

[dazhbog]

Yes you are right @MyN678 I also cant find the artifacts from the development build. Maybe @ma1co can shine some light.

I found them on my PC, this is what i used for my ZV-E10. Use at your own risk and don't click random things

pmca 18-9.zip

Follow my comments above to do it. Put camera in serviceshell >> unlock protected settings >> Unlock languages!

[MyN678]

thank you for your help.

[WynnterPixel]

Hi! i too have the same problem I checked unlock protected settings first. but it wont toggle as marked

[dazhbog]

Please list versions, logs and all these things. Help us help you!

[dazhbog]

Hmmm, did you use Zadig after the camera has switched to serviceshell? You need to install drivers for both mass storage and serviceshell modes.

https://github.com/ma1co/Sony-PMCA-RE#service-mode

[MyN678]

For mine: 1.plug my zve10 to pc on mass storage

2. run Zadig to change my ZV-E10 to libusb-win32 (v1.2.6.0)
3. using powershell I ran pmca-console-v0.18-9-g2590782-win.exe serviceshell
4. run Zadig to change Sony USB to libusb-win32 (v1.2.6.0) --> Zdiag hang can't install driver

[dazhbog]

Try:

• Run Zadig as admin. and try it a few times.
• Maybe you need to close the terminal that uses the driver.
• Keep the device manager open to see what is happening while the drivers install

[MyN678]

I think Sony USB is installed driver successfully but can't active remove protect settings.

[wetsoba]

Any luck with this?

I followed along with all the steps in this thread (on my Sony ZV-1) on a Windows machine and encountered all the same problems. I was unable to "Unlock protected settings" or "Unlock all languages" (I also got the Error: Senser adjust control error 129).

I was ready to give up and decided to give it one last try from my Linux desktop and it worked the first time. I was able to enable 35/35 languages! It was super simple....wish I had tried the Linux version first. No need to mess around with Zadig drivers either.

If you do install the Linux version, you may also need to run "sudo apt install python3-tk" to install an additional driver not included in the requirements file.

[MyN678]

Hi @D-RAJ65

It's great help. I try with trial Untubu and get success with my ZV-E10 Thank you so much bro

[D-RAJ65]

That's great! I made a Youtube video as well to help others facing this same issue.

[SadJapanese]

@dazhbog Hi did you do this on windows?

@D-RAJ65 Do you have a solution using it in windows? I don't have other OS :(

[D-RAJ65]

@SadJapanese Windows was hit and miss. Worked for some but not for me. Linux worked instantly.

You can run Linux one time on your computer (without installing it) just to do the unlock. Watch my Youtube video above. I show you how you can download and run Linux Mint on your computer so that you can run the Linux version of this software to unlock your camera. Then you can reboot your machine back into Windows.

I was able to do this with a ZV-1 and another user commented it worked for their ZV-E10.

[SadJapanese]

I tried using linux but whenever I get camera info this happens. @D-RAJ65

[subzeroxp]

I tried using linux but whenever I get camera info this happens. @D-RAJ65

did you manage to solve? I have exactly this problem

[D-RAJ65]

@subzeroxp @SadJapanese Try running the program with elevated privileges using "sudo ./pmca-gui.py".

Also unplug and replug the USB cable in after running this command.

[D-RAJ65]

A few people reported this " Access denied: insufficient permissions" error to me, so I gave it another go. Although I was able to successfully use this method on my computer running with Linux installed, it unfortunately does not seem to work when booting Linux off a USB drive.

If you have a spare / old computer lying around, you can install Linux on it and then this method will work. I just tested it again on my computer and it worked instantly just like in my Youtube video.

[Erur0su]

Hey everyone! Anyone managed to solve things for windows? I got exactly same error. Pls find below the things i get when i try to go directly for enabling languages as hitting protection button just does nothing to my camera. Hope you can help me.

[Belimix]

Guys, please tell me. I want to update the driver in Zadig, but my original one is not the same as everyone else's. What to do? Where to look?
