Before the Photokina news storm we talked about the new NEX and SLT hack project. I think it’s one of the most interesting news of the year and I hope the hacker named “Someone 1.00” will succeed in delivering some interesting new features on Sony cameras. But he now needs your help:
1) To buy the third NEX camera (Click here to donate). UPDATE: Someone 1.00 just told us that they now managed to collect the necessary money!
2) He also needs developers to push the Sony hack project (Click here to read what’s needed).
And here is the link ot the firmware unpacker.
If all goes well we don’t have to rely on Sony only to get new features on current cameras. Yes, I am talking about the NEX-7 firmware update that we are all eagerly waiting for 🙁

They already send me the money for the third body. I guess donation collection is stopped or the money will be used for some other goal then the camera. It’s not related with me.
Second wame cameras (Nex 5n, a65, a77) will be decrypted this month. I dont need any help for this.
First wave is decrypted and algo is poblic (i’ve published a tool to cecrypt the firmware and everybody can so this). I’ll be happy to have more hands then my own for this.
what exactly can do his hack?? what about telling us before you want some money? 😉
I can decrypt a firmware (now everybody can using my tool).
And nobody need money anymore.
Someone 1.00 So what about those people from ML team? Are they interested in helping you into hacking sony’s fw? How many time needed so we could see new features in custom fw? 6 month at least?
I think this project has to prove the hack for one camera like NEX-5N.(I believe it works but i didn’t see any high bitrate videos.) After that people can see what can they do with this firmware and can donate more money. Magic Lantern project started with 550D. Just 550D. Now it works almost on all Canon cameras.
Summary: (For now)Someone1.00 has to focus on one camera. Not all Sony cameras.

Only thing is that Sony cameras got so similar FW that making patch for one – you make it for several at the same time.
I would love it if they could design to software so that you can do timelapses without the need for a silly adapter.
Yes please!! Timelapses and Clean HDMI out on NEX5n and a77 would be great wish list for me!!
Personally I would be more impressed if a hack and software is provided so that you can use your NEX as a webcam.
Will properly run quite hot after some time…
if the hacked software can deliver tethered shooting with sony slt,means you could use it with an nexus 7 ,for example, as a liveviewmonitor then i donate 😉
so sad, A57 not listed…
no hope…
Just wait dude. Eventually, there will be custom fw for whole lineup.
I wish hack work with fs100 .I will pay money if it works .
waiting for good news~~ thanks to the team, and Someone 1.00!
Providing the camera is out of warranty I can see the attraction but to risk invalidating any support you have just for a feature seems daft.
Si
A99 lens support added for lots of lenses would be awesome.
Someone1.00 please consider a hack of the NEX-7.
So many waiting for a few minor fixes in a otherwise great camera.
Faster AF-Speed
Setting a range for auto-iso
Iso 50
Improvement in noise at higher ISO-Rate (if possible)
And as a Addition to the features:
Time Lapse
Further I think overheating has nothing to do with FW but if so, there is need for a fix.
Thanks to you and all behind the project, if Sony is not willing to provide for us customers, maybe someone else can!?
Hope you can hack the FS100 to record Prores onto the SSD.
