Perhaps a silly question - is it possible to retrofit some Oppo 103D apps like Tidal or Netflix into 203 device?Or these chips are not compatible or security mechanisms prevent it?Anyone tried?
Really, in our firmware? How can you launch it?netflix app is there yeah , but even if it starts it will be outdated i guess so no real use. Does it still works on 103 ?
dunno never checked actuallyReally, in our firmware? How can you launch it?
I didn't know that there were apps on it.
I removed it because there are difficulties with an Oppo-203 EU going back to original firmware from a Russian JB.Guys, what will happen if you USB flash the EU Oppo 203 with US firmware? Or US unit with EU firmware?
A Russian Oppo-203 would go to a Russian JB. There are only 2 choices. China or Russia JB.Funny, I just have my Russian friend asking me what will happen if he will install RU-US JB into OPPO 203 bought in Russia. Will it work for him?
Just do give feedback ...I Will change the main board of Oppo 203 by myself ...
Any advice for this ?
I am in Brazil and the customs are very complicate to send to US for repair ...
Then after diagnosis at distance of the gentil Oppo staff I buy the main board.
I take my chances because they cannot afirm that's the problem ...
Reading the last posts I think If I don't need to make the same back up ...
I don't now how because the Oppo is only with the áudio HDMI working ...
The main HDMI is dead, only flash the symbol Oppo and the TV lost signal.
Thanks
Not that I currently have any reason to revert back to the vanilla EU firmware, but has any progress been made on a reliable method for reverting back from the Russian JB firmware ?I removed it because there are difficulties with an Oppo-203 EU going back to original firmware from a Russian JB.
OK, will keep monitoring the thread, so far I’ve found no reason to revert, just useful to know, should the need arise.whirlpool, I would say, no, not really.
No confirmed safe method or methods. The MTKTool is probably the only way to do it and its still a great idea to first have your original firmwares NAND backed up.
I'll leave it to moremodey01 to chime in if he wants to or if liwil wants to add any insight.
99% that it will never happen.Would it be feasible / possible, to add the necessary support to play the "new DOVI-compatible mkv"?
Hello,Chros, and others.. are we discussing Dolby Vision for mkv container? If so, moremodey01 might have already commented on this. As of now, its a no. If you want Dolby Vision so bad, why not just use 4K UHD BD ISO. Hard drive space, I think, is pretty cheap now-days. I can't comment on anything else behind the scene.
Maybe if more reverse and testers gather together, but it looks unlikely, the only skilled one where selling here a pirated version of the Russian and Chinese firmware and disappeared once we release the free jailbreak.Is it expected that future releases might iron out some of the bugs left in Oppo's firmware?
Thanks for all the effort porting the jailbreak to the EU firmware, no issues on my Oppo 203, I play DVD, HD Blu-Ray and UHD Blu-Ray from folders, but, out of interest what exactly was the EDID parsing bug ?Maybe if more reverse and testers gather together, but it looks unlikely, the only skilled one where selling here a pirated version of the Russian and Chinese firmware and disappeared once we release the free jailbreak.
The issue to fix the various bugs and add feature like MKV Dovi.. is that it requires a lot of time and testing, but technically it can be done, some work as been done already to port the jailbreak to the EU firmare, create a toolchain to inject fixed code and fix some edid parsing bug.
Initially we put a donation link to gather some funds to at least buy an oppo and giec and fix the oppo bugs and port the firmware to the cheapest Giec as we found an interesting exploit that could be used to access that board (maybe) and dump all needed keys.
This could have motivated enough to keep the things going on
However the admin of this forum notified us that any kind of money income, even thru a donation link is not allowed and edited our post first, then contacted us....
Regarding how second hand oppo have increased in price on ebay and having some people even advertising it for 1700 Euro with "RARE, Jailbreak included" and such, i have decided for the moment to keep everything internal and only share with @theaxledentaldj
Also personally i just use it now as an external player for Kodi to play full bluray dumps only, so im not interested at all in MKV part, just fixed the edid parsing bug i needed for my setup.
this kodi integration will be released on github once i find the motivation to write some explanations in a readme and push it.
Also on final note, this board on the actual prices is too expensive and far too buggy, even for the latest clones, if anything else is released that can play DOVI and bluray menu , it will loose almost all value immediately, personal opinion ....
If anybody however is interested to help, he/she can pm @theaxledentaldj or me to see what can be done.
