hddvdregionfree - good work man..

Can I ask - do you know if it is likely or possible that there will be a similar firmware fix to enable the ep35 to be region free?

Kind thanks

Berth

Hi hddvdregionfree
If you could post and clearly state how you can help with the E1 region free,that will be great.
Otherwise there is going to be post after post of confusion.
Cheers.

hddvdregionfree is a previously banned poster. We have agreed that he can start posting again, but this time respecting the english forums are a little more 'conservative' than Australian ones.

Once you have the new firmware and burnt it to a disc, once finished, he has agreed the disc can then be passed onto someone to use.

Hope this clarifies for all concerned.

Can I be first on the list to try the new firmware disc please - I will pass it onto the next person (i take it will work like the normal firmware discs...)

I'll confirm for myself he's happy with that arrangement and then will happily send on to somebody else. You need to be on 2.5 or earlier though, won't work if you're on 2.7.

EDIT: Confirmed above so I'll send it on. I think Baldybouncer is first, please PM me with your address and i'll send it in the post.

Re: My HD-E1 is now region free!

A few questions.

Will future firmare updates remove the player's region free status?

Might future firmware updates fail, and effectively f up your player if it tries to replace 'unofficial' firmware?

Does the player become completely region free, or do you need to enter the region with every disc?

Cheers.

Re: My HD-E1 is now region free!

AFAIK, it works the same as the XE1 firmware;

Auto Region free apart from RCE discs which reportedly don't work.

Future firmware updates still leave the player region free (I'm about to install 2.7 so will confirm shortly).

Re: My HD-E1 is now region free!

It looks like it could be an early Happy Christmas to E1 owners then !

I was hoping the region free firmware would make it across from Oz. I'd love to receive the update disc, and would be happy to send it along to the next user.

Thanks hddvdregionfree - you've made a lot of people very happy

Re: My HD-E1 is now region free!

Right then, I've just updated to 2.7; it installed without a problem and the player is still region free.

Just to make it clear you need to be on firmware 2.5 to install the region free firmware, if you've installed 2.7 then I'm afraid there's no way of installing it. I was on 2.3 and had to install 2.5 first. I can forward on firmware 2.5 on disc too if needed.

Unfortunately Baldybouncer is on 2.7 so there's no point me sending him the firmware. That makes Nic Rhodes next; Nic can you please confirm you're on 2.5 or earlier and PM me your details.

Hi martian1
You have to be on 2.5 (official) already before you can make use of the disc.
