It may be working on bd- d6500 and bd-e6500 but Not on bd-f6500.
5.5.3 TUBEDIGGER CODE
Repeat + region code does not work on bd-f6500. Region code hack posted by westhfra, November 29 2013: I could see the region code '4' flash on the top corner of the screen after the first sequence, and the '9' flash after the region change. I used the sequence: REPEAT 7 6 8 8 4 And then '9' to make the player region free. So don't press a few in quick succession and then others slowly/firmly, just press them all lightly and take the same time for each key. The "trick" to getting this to work (it took me over 20 tries) was to make sure I pressed the keys in fairly quick succession with a similar time lapse between each one. Note that the firmware was the most up to date when the hack was applied on, I don't recall what version exactly, but it was certainly more recent that the v1012 that some users were concerned this hack didn't work for any longer. I can confirm the following hack worked with my Samsung Bluray BD-D6500 which was purchased in Australia as a region 4 player. Region code hack posted by Mp5, November 25 2013:
5.5.3 TUBEDIGGER UPGRADE
If you applied the hack with 1006, it still works if you upgrade to 1008, but you can't apply with 1008 (current version as of posting is 1012). Region code hack posted by ds6500, October 02 2013:Īfter investigating, it doesn't seem that the hack above works with firmware version >= 1008. Turn the player off, then on to finalise the change and play those DVD's that you have been wanting to. So, after pressing REPEAT please enter one of the following codes the matches your current region lock: 1 – 2 9 3 3 4 (US) 2 – 5 7 5 3 8 (Europe) 3 – 5 6 7 3 2 (South East Asia) 4 – 7 6 8 8 4 (Australia / South America) 5 – 5 3 8 1 4 (India, Ukraine, Belarus, Russia, Africa) 6 – 2 4 4 6 2 (China) 9 - Region Free Then press '9' and your player is region free. How this differs from the opening post is no need to open and close the disc tray. Turn off and on and your BD-E6500 is now region free. In the top right corner you will see your region code flash (eg: 4 for Australia). When the main menu appears, press the REPEAT button followed by the region code your player is currently locked to - depending on which country you are in (eg: in Australia press "REPEAT 7 6 8 8 4". Make sure NO disc or usb stick is inserted into the player.
The hack for this 3D Blu Ray player is the same as for previous models. Region code hack posted by glhansen, June 22 2013:
