Page 1 of Desperate! Hack needed for new LG DR175

Hi,

Hope I`m not repeating this post too soon, but am getting desperate!

Purchased an LG DR175 DVD-Recorder (Region 2 - UK) beginning of November, and am looking for a region free hack.

Tried the one posted (Home on remote, setup, Highlight `Lock` icon and press `0` seven times), but it doesn`t work.

I`ve also tried some of the listed hacks for LG DVD`s that are similar to this one, but they don`t work either.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Cheers,

John

hi
here is a link for the dvd you want and it works
MAKE SURE THERE ISNT A DISK IN WHEN YOU START DOING IT.

Sorry Smudge8181,

That is the hack that I describe in my original post - it doesn`t work!

I`ve tried various other LG hacks that are similiar with no success.

I think that LG have recently launched a new version of the DR175, maybe with different firmware, which is why the posted hack no longer works.

Still desperate!!

Cheers,

John

Hi - I had the same problem with my LG de175 that I got last week in UK. Found this hack - not a remote one but it works fine - all the details are below just set the region to 0.

You will need:

Nero Burning ROM, or similar
A blank CD-R
WinZip or WinRAR or IZark to decompress the .zip

http://lgregionfree.tripod.com/2005/menu1.htm

Go to the site above, scroll down to the photo with `6000` -- this is a downloadable .zip. Download it to your desktop.

The .txt file included says this:

1) Unzip the folders and files to the hard drive in exactly the same order.
2) Burn the folder "RMT000" (including sub files and/or folders) to a blank CDR
3) Make sure you set; `close` disc and session
4) Make sure you burn the disc in ISO mode (not joliet)

Insert the disc in the player and follow the screen instructions


Believe me, it works. I have tried Region 2 and Region 4 DVDs without problem.

I tried it in UK version of LG DR175 and works fine.
The Hack with 7x0 doesn`t works

Good Luck!

Andy,

Sorry for taking so long to reply -

Thanks for the hack - I tried it and it works perfectly! I now have a wonderful region-free LG DR175 DVD-Recorder!

Happy New Year

Cheers,

John

You can find a CD hack for this player on eBay and it works fine for the new black model.
It worked for me :)

Thank you. This worked perfectly.

Can someone please email me the file? Tripod have removed that webpage as it did not conform to their "rules" and the other hack doesn`t work - I too am desperate!!
