New Samsung SV-DVD1E Firmware Unhackable?
I`m having problems with a new Samsung SV-DVD1E
- Anyone any ideas please?
Just to make sure that I`m not doing something dumb,
here`s what I tried (following the hack listed on the site):
1. Turned-off Power (At Socket)
2. Turned-on Power & Turned on Player (No DVD, DVD Selected)
3. Pressed and held FF & Pause buttons on player
[Select Language] appeared on Screen
4. Pressed 1 on Remote
[DVD Splash Screen] appeared on Screen
5. Pressed SETUP on Remote
[DVD Menu] appeared on Screen
6. Pressed REPEAT A-B on Remote (no other Repeat button on remote)
7. Pressed 3 8 7 6 7 on Remote
[DVD Menu Selections Processed (3-Language, 8-Other...)]
[Current Region Setting Does Not Appear]
8. Pressed 9 button for Region Free
9. Pressed Open/Close button on DVD
[DVD Tray Opens]
10. Pressed Standby on Remote to Turn-off player
[DVD Tray Closes]
11. Pressed Standby on Remote to Power-on player
12. Player refuses any of three Region-1 DVD disks I have:
Disney Snow White, Little Women or Rugrats Movie
[Player reads disk]
[Check Region Code] appears on Screen
I also tried omitting the "Setup" button at step 5 then:
6. Pressed REPEAT A-B on Remote (no other Repeat button on remote)
7. Pressed 3 8 7 6 7 on Remote
[Top Corner DVD Splash Screen displays 38, then 76, then 07]
[Current Region Setting Does Not Appear]
8. Pressed 9 button for Region Free - Still Doesn`t Work
I also tried leaving a delay between typing the code at step 7 as:
7. Pressed 3 paused, 8 paused, 7 paused, 6 paused, 7 paused
[Top Corner DVD Splash Screen displays 03, then 08, 07, 06, 07]
[Current Region Setting Does Not Appear]
8. Pressed 9 button for Region Free - Still Doesn`t Work
All of these were tried after a complete power-off
I am concerned since the model number on the back says SV-DVD1EA
(Does the "A" mean revision A maybe?)
I only received it yesterday from a new Samsung batch.
What do you think?
A. Am I doing something wrong?
B. Have Samsung updated the firmware to prevent the Region Hack?!
C. None-of-the-above
Please Help :`(...
