Blu Ray region free help

Berty

Hello All,

I have a Samsung Blu Ray Player BDP-1600 and want to region unlock it. Please don't reference the sticky. It has outdated links and didn't help.

Anyway, any current links or help unlocking it are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

If were only that easy. Google, you will probably guess was my first attempt, and no it didn't work.

Just a red x in a circle on the screen when pressing repeat.

And you tried this?..

"sure, i download the latest firmawre on the brasil samsung website :
http://www.samsung.com/br/support/download/supportDownMain.do
and i do what fmcardoso say...

- download/unzip the firmware
- using a Hex Editor edit the RUF file
- locate the 3 letters code that identify the country of this firmware, (XAA for US)(XAC for Canada)etc...
- change to the your-model's country (see at BD-P1600 system information)
- Follow the rest of normal procedure

after that the remote control hack works perfectly "

"Hi.
I want to share with you that I could change the region code
for Blu-ray disc. I have a BD-P1600 bought in Dubai (region
. As I live in Brazil, I couldn´t play region A Blu-ray
discs, that I find here. So, I used the sugested remote
control hack and it worked for DVD, but not for Blu-ray.
So, I changed the firmware, downloading the brazilian
version. I had to use the hex editor and changed the XAX
code for MEA code (just the first XAX I found in RUF file)
and it seems working. I´m now playing a region A BR disc and
it seems OK.

Ah, and with a kind of bonus, the brazilian firmware adds
for me an option to directly play youtube videos, that I
hadn´t in my original firmware version. "

Strange how it works for some.
Seems the step between pressing the REPEAT button and entering the CODE, has to be quick.

It wont accept new firmware as my firmware is "up to date"

Damn man. I don't know then.
Did you try resetting it? (I know it probably won't do anything, but.)

"Just unplug the BP-D1600 and then plug it on with NO CD in.

Then open the front panle and with your hand press the FF (>>) button for about 5-6 secs until you see a LANGUAGE Screen , just choose your language and the BP-D1600 is factory reset."

Not saying you're doing it wrong, but..

"At first it didn't work, and then I realised I was pressing [Repeat A-B] instead of just the [Repeat] button on the remote, so make sure you you press the right one."

Thread Resurrection!

I want to add netflix to my BD-P1600. I emailed samsung about it but didnt get any concrete info other than they just won a contract to ship their equipment with netflix capabilities.

The U.S firmware for this model has netflix streaming. can the us firmware be edited to play region B discs?

The above hack is only for DVDs afaik.
