LG DV2000 st DVD/VIDEO COMBI MULTI REGION HACK?

i have a problem with region unhacking Lg dvd video combi model number : DV2000st

I was told any hack for the LG 500 series would work on my unit.

I have tried the remote control hack via the LG 5000 series hack and that did not work.

Then i tried the load disc method for the same LG 5000 series method.
This was with unloading a zip file & loading it on a cd as follows.

Step 1

Download the file lg5000.zip by clicking on the link:

Step 2

Unzip the file lg5000.zip. It will create a directory folder called RMTM0000.


Step 3

You need a CD Writer to write a new disk with the files you`ve just unziped (RMTM0000 folder).


Step 4

You need a CD burning software (like Easy CD Creator, Nero, CD Clone, HP RecordNow, etc....) to make a Data disc.


Step 5

I`ve read not to use a 700mb capacity CD-R, but mine worked just fine! For information, I used a Memorex CD-R 700MB 24x. This speed (24x) I think is the key to success, not the capacity or size of the CD-R.


Step 6

Using the CD burning software, create a Data disc and add the directory folder RMTM0000. That`s all you need !
*** When burning the disc do not use DirectCD ***


Step 7

Switch "On" your DVD player and TV and insert the newly burned disc. When prompted select "0" for multiregion and then ENTER. Power off and... it`s done!

Good Luck!

This loads a system program on the dvd. When the program comes up and then i try change it to region 0 it will not accept it and comes up with ERROR 3 invalid region.

I wonder if you have any knowledge on this unit.I am desperate to play my usa & japan dvds. If you could help i would be very grateful.




Many thanks in advance
