Hi
Credit for this hack goes to RABSP, although I've modified
it slightly.
It's basically the same method used for the Samsung BD-1500.
I used it on my brand new Samsung BD-1600 today and it
worked on the first try using the code below.
My unit is a Region 2 (UK) machine.
1) Press the POWER button on the remote to turn on the
machine (no disc in the tray).
2) Wait till the player has booted up and the Samsung logo
screen is displayed.
3) Press the OPEN/CLOSE button on the remote twice, to open
then close the disc tray.
4) As soon as you see 'No-Disc' displayed in the top left
corner, press the REPEAT button followed by the 5 digit code
for your current region as listed below.
(Mine was 57538 for region 2)
Don't press the REPEAT button for too long, just smoothly
press REPEAT 5 7 5 3 8.
If it doesn't work straight away, keep trying, mine worked
on the first go.
5) If you're successful, your current region code will be
displayed in the top left corner of the screen.
6) Press '9' to make your player region free.
7) Turn the player off, then on again and test with a
different region disc, or if you don't have one to test
with, just repeat the hack and instead of your old region
code appearing in the top left corner of your screen, you
should see '9' if you've been successful.
The hack can be repeated to turn your machine back to it's
original settings or to a particular region if the disc is
sensative to region free machines.

Samsung Bd P1400 Remote
Hello,
I have a BD-P1590 which I purchased in the US. I'm moving to France in less than 2 weeks. As such I'm trying to get to play both NTSC & PAL DVDs and also be region free. I misunderstood the instructions on the following DVD hack pages:
https://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/samsung-bd-p1590/10290
https://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/samsung-bd-p1600/10179
(note, although the Singapore firmware is the end-goal, I'd be happy with reverting back to the US in the hopes I'd be able to then flash it to the Singapore firmware, which is why you'll see 'XAA' below)
First I flashed the Brazil firmware (v2.13) without any issues having modified the first instance of XAA to XAX with a hex editor. Then I successfully performed the remote control region free hack on the first attempt just to give it a try. I thought that first flashing the Brazil firmware was necessary before flashing the Singapore firmware, but apparently this isn't the case. Now, when I try to flash ANY firmware, other than a Brazilian firmware version, I receive errors. Here's where I am now:
I can flash the Brazilian firmware version successfully until my heart is content, but that's really no help at all to me... Now, when attempting to flash either the US or Singapore firmware, modifying the first instance of XAA/XSS to XAX, results in an IMMEDIATE 'Error in Update Data. Please try again'. However, if I modify the 2 instances of XAA/XSS that immediately follow 'BD-P160' (one at the very beginning, one towards the middle) It first says 'Verifying Firmware Version' for about 15 seconds or so, and THEN reports the 'Error in update data' message.
This leads me to believe that there's something else I will need to change to get from the Brazil firmware to any other firmware version, but I every combination I've tried to date doesn't work. I've tried modifying all instances of the XAA/XSS, the dates of the firmware, the firmware versions. I think the only thing I haven't tried is changing the actual name of the file to match the firmware version currently loaded. I'm going to try now as a shot in the dark, but I doubt I'll have any results.
I've also performed a hex-dump on all three firmware versions, and performed a diff on them, but they all are drastically different... Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
