Page 1 of LG 5083 and all 5000 series players WORKING!! Multiregion HACK

YEEEEEE-HAAAAAAA IT WORKS!!!!!!

Thanks very much...........

Here`s how i did it.........

Step 1....Download the file lg5000.zip by copying this line into your web address box, or basically where you type `www.yahoo.co.uk` for example.

http://downloads.come2store.com/AllanC/LG5000.zip

Wait for the download box to appear then click on save.

Step 2....You will need winzip or easyzip as the file you have downloaded is in a compressed state or `Zipped up`. Open the file lg5000.zip then extract or uncompress the file kpjc19_1.dvd to you hard drive in say your `Mydocuments` folder. (Here is the confusing bit) it will create a directory in your Mydocuments folder called RMTM0000, this you accept and go with the flow ( remember ok ).

Step 3....You need a CD writer to Burn or write (another familiar term is formatting the disc...ok) a new disk which will copy the files you`ve just extracted or uncompressed ie RMTM0000.

Step 4....You need the CD burning software like EASYCD Creator or CDCLONE is popular. I used Stomp RecordMAXnow version 3. These can be downloaded but can take a while to find. Link to crack site EDITED BY MODERATOR (tut tut!)
Step 5....Buy that CDR disc to burn too. Now ive read the text above about it not being a 700mb capacity CDR but mine worked. For info. i used Memorex CD-R 700MB 24x from Staples(24x means the speed to which data can be transferred or read). This speed I think is the key to success not the capacity or size of the CDR.

Step 6....Using the CD burning software you need to create a DATA CD not audio etc, and ADD the directory RMTM0000 from your Mydocuments Folder in Step 2. Thats all you need! as the real file is automatically copied over as well.

Once this is complete you will be impressed.....Switch on your player and insert the disc...when prompted select 0 for multi region and then ENTER, POWER OFF and your ready to go!........Thanks again to AllanC for all your efforts...........

Did you want me to incorporate these instructions, Andy ?

Go for it! - Clayts..........ps Please acknowledge the founder AllanC

If you have read this and cant find a way of creating this disk the i will create one for you. Email me for details to KUtsydnA[at]moc.liamtoh

Okay : I`ve integrated them and will add acknowledgment to Allan.

Cheers mate :-)

Just wanted to add that this worked for LG LH-CX247W HTIB system, even though the file size of kpjc19_1.dvd was in excess of 5mb. Seems to be no ill effects at this time and the change has persisted through a power outage

I`ve found the following site the most up to date for acquiring the above file

Folks

Here is the Instructions on how to make the Update disk ...Keeping the Link Alive

Use at your OWN Risk

...Go to this Link

www.area450.co.uk/lg5083hack.htm

Download the File from the Link Marked this zip file (5KB size) (As it says it is a Zipped File) ..once downloaded it is called LG5000.zip

Unzip the File...once Unzipped it becomes a Folder Called RMTM0000 and a Text Instruction File ...Burn the Folder RMTM0000 ( NOT the Text File) to a CDR (as a Data CD) ...Put the CDR into your Player and follow the On-Screen Instructions..And Job Done.

The Hack will usually work with Most 6000 Series LG Players also ...but sometimes on the 6000 Series The Hack is Forgotten on Powerdown ...If you find this is the Case then Go to this Page

lgregionfree.tripod.com/2005/menu1.htm

And download the 6000 Update (ie Click on the Picture of the DVD Player that is just above and to the Left of the Numbers 6000 about halfway down the Page)....and Follow the Instructions as above.

As with all Hacks use it at your Own Risk
