win0809 opened this issue · comments
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
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.
Good day Sir, thanks for the reply,here is what i got from the command:
C:\Users\Win\Desktop\PCMA Console>pmca-console guess_firmware -f 0x31020000.zip

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
nflashaandbooton your computer. Please zip them and upload the file to my dropbox.
Thank you for your help!
