Thanks man

[BGuser]

i write the FW on disc and play on my 5990/12 philips and show the message Unknown disc why appear this message??

[Ai Haibara]

How did you write the disc, and with what software? What file(s) are on the disc?

If the 5990/12 does have the USB port, you can also copy the .bin file to a USB pen drive, and use that to update the firmware.

[BGuser]

i write it in DVD disc a should write on CD!! Everything is fine,the DVD Player is just GREAT!!

To anyone here who successful flashed a dead 5990, what program did you use and did you use the firmware from Philips homepage?

[neo_22]

My player 5990/12 is dead
Could you someone send me serial flash?

Thank you

I need also help, I had bad upgrade and I didn´t back up firmware, please help me, thanks.

Im intrested in this player but you can update from the DVD player itself right? You dont have to make any serial cables or anything like that...

Thank you vb6rocod

Is there any chance to speed it up?

When a press EJECT from STAND BY mode it takes 11 sec until the player is open, why (It's the same with the original firmware)?
(I'm used to my old player, a Pioneer DV-444. That one was fast to start and to open)

Can someone post screenshots on every version of backgrounds "CD logo" "Divx logo" "Philips logo" "Vista logo" so i don't have to flash my drive just to see how it looks.

Great work by the way...

Hello, Tripper_

I had a bad firmware upgrade, and my player came back to life with a serial cable and MKTTool.

But now I have no HDMI, because of no HDCP block on my firmware. And I didn't make a backup of the full firmware before.

Is there any way to have the HDMI alive again?

Since I live in Brazil, and the player was bought in the US, returning the player on the store is not an option.

Thank's in forward,

Eduardo

This should get you going again. You need to flash using MtkTool. Let me know if it works.

Hello Tripper,

My 5990/37 is more than a year old and recently i came across same situation. Got a failed flash and player was recovered using serial flash. Now things work fine except HDMI. Can i have this backup uploaded again so that i can get the HDMI up again ? Thanks.

For 5990_12 (can also used for 5990_37), extract from my player with MTKTool 2.37 http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mimdmekwyfo

A Google search led me to this:

You might have to do some digging to find the firmware you need.

The only site still up is the Blog, and all the links at http://vb6rocod.blogspot.com/2009/02/update-599012.html have expired for the latest 5990 f/w. Any help please?

did you try his Gmail address posted on that site it starts "vb6ro.cod@g...l..om" the rest should be obvious.

I have 3 downloaded files on my hdd from June 2011 and April 2012. That's probably when I got them

1 - is named "DVP5990_37_vb6_v32_All_Logo.rar" it's 5328KB
2 - is named "DVP5990_37_vb6_v4_1.rar" it's 1322KB
3 - is named "DVP5990_37_vb6_v4_1_No_Load.rar" it's 1320KB

I don't know if those are the original names or if I renamed them.

I think the "37" in the name means those are specific to my model only but it might also be valid for "12" from what I read a few posts up from here but don't go by me.

I'm not sure if those would help but I also don't know if I'm allowed to re-distribute them here. No PM's please either it's ok to redistribute them here or its not.

EDIT:
After rechecking I have the NTSC version (posted or modded by another user I can't recall) as found in the thread link that follows:

If the North American are the ones you need on page 32 of the link above someone posted direct links to some of the ones I have and they work!! See post #933 and #943.
