I tried different build .14, .18 and .22 but none of them are working on ILCE-7RM4

I tried after watching all videos available and then tried reading all comments but none of them are working on alpha 7RM4. The version .22 shows no tweaks available. The version .18 doesn't even show the service mode tweaks option but it shows update mode tweaks option. However using the methods in comments of version .14 I reached up to the tweaking screen in service mood. I could click done and it would apply the tweaks but I cannot check any of the checkboxes from my side. The one that is already selected that can be applied and tweaking works fine. As soon as I click on a checkbox the pmca become gives an error saying something not generic USB. I saw most of the people are not even using a Sony USB. Is it actually because of USB or like some issue with the PMCA?

Same issue with the A7RIII

Same issue with a7c2 (firmware 1.02).
Tried with 22 but "no tweak available" message.
Any suggestion?

Similar issue with a9ii / ILCE-9M2. Japanese model, managed to get the USB drivers done right, but once I start tweaking in service mode, it says no tweaks available and exits service mode. Will have to try on a live Linux boot in the future.

Fwiw, I had the same issues you did with the windows binaries. Jumping over to Linux fixed my issue on both A7C2 and A73. See here #459 (comment)

Finally i got this worked for me after manny atempts.
In zadig when you are at the point where you have to select Sony USB device, try to install other usb driver, NOT the libusb-win32 then the other one libusbK. After this service mode stays on, and you get the tweak window open.

I have also succeeded in using this method

I have tried all the wrong methods taught by the youtuber until I read these msgs. The Sony ZV-E10 I bought last week from Japan just got unlocked. Thanks for sharing the only working way with Windows. I couldn't get my old laptop with Mint Linux working. The Linux USB driver keep asking for USB permission which is not easy to setup.
