[koyitokyo]

i tried several times only to find out that the camera is not supported, the camera is sony dsc-hx7v btww! if y'all know any other way, please do tell. thank youuu!

hello. Lil story here, I managed to do this on the same camera model 2 months ago using the Dev build (pmca-gui-v0.18-22-ga82f5ba-win). Now I got another camera of the same model and it isn't working... tried it again on the tweaked one and it somehow now doesn't support it. It's either the USB or the drivers messing up... will see if I can redo what I did. Another possibility is the computer running the program too fast, read it somewhere here a while ago but can't remember the rest.

How did u fix this I am running into the same problem

[koyitokyo]

I used this! This is from VinBones, all credits to him. Hey I figured it out!! :) have to use .14 dev build. Here's the file.

pmca-console.and.gui-v0.18-14-gd7267ea-win.zip Download Zadig as well and plug your camera into your PC or Laptop and open Zadig, click options and then click list all devices. Find your camera and change the driver into libusbk, and wait for it. After that, open the the pmca gui that you downloaded. Check your camera info first then go to tweaks and click service mode. Wait until a window opens up with tickboxes in it then tick the languages. That's itt!

[koyitokyo]

After enabling it, I went back to zadig and changed the driver into the windows one just to be safe!

I did everything and followed the steps but each time it gives me this:

After a bit I think at one point it did show me the boxes but for the languages it said 1/35 and when clicked it gave me that same message above. I don't know how to fix it.

[Shade3692]

I got it to work after a bit. Thank you so much for you help. You a real one

What did you do that helped your situation? It's a different camera but I'm hoping it might work...

I managed to get the window for the language to open but when I click it I get:
