Samsung BD-P1500

The following was offered on the DVD Hack List but unsuccessful.

Maybe it is because my software verion is different from the one mentioned below, mine is

S/W: 081002.01_1009088O_XEF
Region: B/2 (BD/DVD)

Any ideas..?

R

DVD HACK

After 20 minutes I got the following to work.

The trick seemed to be not holding the repeat key too long.

I have a Region B/4, running 080604.01_050708-1_XSA code.

I used the R4 code from below.

1) Turn on the player with no disc in the tray
Wait till the unit is at the Samsung logo screen.
2) Open then close the tray, wait to see the No-Disc Message in the top Left Corner
3) Now press the REPEAT button on the remote, followed by a five digit code.
In this case Repeat 76884

Now it to me about 20 tries to get this to work, It needed to be done without delay.
So if you don’t get it to work straight away don’t loose heart.

4) When it works a 4 will appear in the top left corner

5) Press 9 to make it regionless.
6) Press Eject to OPEN to open the disc tray.
7) Press Eject to CLOSE to close the disc tray.

8) Power the unit off

9) Now power the unit on again, it should now read all regions of DVD Disc.

From other threads I got the follow list of region codes.

R1 - 29334
R2 - 57538
R3 - 56732
R4 - 76884
R5 - 53814
R6 - 24462

We're getting posts from all over the globe about how various hacks on various Samsung models no longer work. Samsung appears at this time to be taking active steps to prevent their players from being made region free. I can't say whether or not a different firmware version would help you. It's possible for the manufacturer to make hardware changes that will break hacks to used to work in the past and if they have done this, there may not be a working hack for you and changing the firmware is unlikely to help.
