Has anyone encountered this before or has any advice for what I can try next? Any help will be greatly appreciated! I've heard some say that one has to update from V1.x to V2.x, then only to V3.x, but I can not find any versions under V3 either, does anyone have a link for V2? I'm running an up to date Windows 10 that surpasses all requirements listed on the firmware update page and the camera is currently on v1.0.0 (the lowest/oldest version I think). I also had no issue updating the A7SIII either. When I plug the camera in via the usb c cable, Windows reacts by showing a new device is connected, and the camera also shows that it is successfully connected via usb, then why does the software update application fail to find the camera? I had no issues with Imaging Edge connecting with the camera either. Made sure that the cable is connected directly to the PC - that it's not going through a USB hubĬlosed all applications, disabled firewall Tried it on a different laptop running Windows 7 with exactly the same result Restarted the camera and took the battery out for a whileįollowed the sequence described on the firmware update page to the tee Made sure that the camera is in mass storage mode etc.), the update software refuses to find the camera.Įnsured that I'm using the USB-C cable that came with the camera The guys with the skills to do this are working on something more interesting.I really love this camera but I am currently at my wit's end with this firmware update - I am trying to do a simple update to the latest firmware but despite the fact that my camera otherwise connects perfectly to my PC (remote shooting, Windows showing the camera folder etc. No glory in hacking a niche product like a full frame mirrorless camera. Its too big an effort for little reward I fear - things like Xboxes and phones get hacked because there is fame and fortune to be had. In the process of messing with firmware you are almost certain to brick multiple cameras so there is a multi thousand dollar real cost besides the copious time required.
Plus someone would need to write/hack the software itself which likely involves MIPS processor assembly (unfun). To do what you want (which require low level functions not exposed to the android app system), at a minimum you'd need to defeat sony's encryption to load non-sony firmware into the camera or find an exploit to side-load it somehow. There are some sporadic efforts to reverse engineer e-mount and sony cameras but it appears to be non-trivial, you can read more at the links below:
