Hi

i've a Dvd recorder samsung dvdr120( pal region 2) and i do i mistake: i download the new firmware and flash files from samsung.com

upgrading the firmware, it's all right, but when i upgrade the flash files, the dvd recorder became NTSC system and i can't use it in europe. Before it readed divx and now only dvd, but obviously Ntsc.

The support told me that this files are out of warranty.

Is there a solution?

I've tried this code to unlock the region but don't work

Hack from Samsung DVD-R100 also works on Recorder DVD-R120

Region code hack posted by c_trip, June 03 2005:
1 Without Disk , press '0' 4~5times.
2 Press 'Repeat'
3 Press 3,8,7,6,7
4 After that you can see Number 2 (European Regional Code) in Upper left side.
5 Press '9' and then 2 will be changed into 9
6 Press 'Open' 'Close'
Total process should be completed in 30 seconds.


Can you help me?

thanx

Hi. I have an european (PAL) version of the DVD-R120, and I messed it up upgrading the firmware with the english version. :-(

Can Hellf, please, send me the correct (PAL) firmware, please? :-)

Please anyone can help me? Thanx!

Thanks to the person on here who sent me the fireware file to undo this Samsung update which converts the UK machine to a US format one. I have put it on this website for others to use:

Official site of Samsung in Hungary provides firmware upgrade to ver. 2.5: http://www.samsung.com/hu/Support/Pr...e=FM&language=

As Hungary (PAL, Region 2) is in Europe it may solve your problems.

Nota Bene: Download and upgrade on your own risk.


Update:

I have found phybes' posts here: http://www.dvd.reviewer.co.uk/forums...=474405&Type=1. It may well be that the firmware posted above is the wrong one, though it is on an official site of a European Samsung Representation.

Yes, that's a wrong firmware as long as there's (USA) mentioned in the description. I've been emailing to a bunch of people with the correct firmware, i will try to put up a link to it on the web...

And i can see that it's allready been done

That link, posted by difdif, contains same firmware as i am offering. Works 100%

Please, I need help with Firmware Update for the R120. My unit is R-120 AXAA.

I need it for change my DVD to PAL-M (Brasil) and Region 4 (will apply the hack later) applying the Firmware from the Samsung Brasil Web Site. There only is provided the file RUF, but my unit doesn't recognized it.

When I copy the files RUF e REC to the CD, the unit show me only the "Drive Update". As the update instructions, should be first the "Flash Update" and later, the "Drive Update".

When I copy only the file RUF, the unit show me the message "This disc cannot be played" and don't execute the Flash Update.

Do I need rename the disc for anything to be recognized?

Anybody help me?

Tks
