Page 1 of Hitachi DV-P305e using Thomson hack, help please!!

I have tried everything!!
After cold starting, I select the language ( I have tried the codes straight from the language screen as well)
I have tried all the different region codes, each after doing another cold start. What else can I try?

Please help this is driving me mad, have I got the only player in the world that can`t be hacked???

Fabrize, you are not alone!

I am also almost certifiable at this stage. The guy in Dixons even dissuaded me from buying a One4All cos he said this model definitely could be multi-regioned with it`s own remote.

I have tried evry possible way to make the Thomson hack work:
1) Put the codes in on the language selection screen (this just results in German being chosen as the language)
2) Selected my language then applied the codes.

All from a coldstart. Nothing.
No messages appear on the screen (or led display)

So, can anyone shed any light on this? Have any Hitachi owners got this to work using the Hitachi remote (mine is a DV-RM300)?

Please, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like some newer firmware does not work with this hack. We are still waiting for a solution.

Hi FM,

I have just read your various posts on 709online.com

May I confirm with you that you have also tried the hack using the one4all procedure (or directly with an Aiwa RC?)

I don`t want to go buy a one4all and find it`s of no use in this case.

To think I had an actual Samsung 709 in my sights and got sidetracked by the Hitachi model :(

dela,

dont put it in on the language select screen, press your desired language and THEN put in the code!!

(On Another Note)

Sorry to have annoyed you FM

Stewart,

In desperation I tried that, even though I knew it would not work.

I have tried the correct procedure countless times, but no dice. :(

It does seem that whatever firmware revision is in my, FM`s and Fabrize`s Hitachi is not hackable (yet).

Mine was bought just yesterday and already I`ve aged 20years! I guess I`ll have to be patient.

My 305 is also not hackable with the Thomson Hack. I continue to use the One4All hack which does work fine. My machine is about 5 months old.


Karl.

dela, Karl, what version of firmware do you have?

FM,

I don`t know the answer to that. I believe I`d have to open the case up to locate it(?)

I may end up doing that, but tomorrow (Fri) I`m going to get one of those one4all things and give that a try seeing as dockarl got his working with it. I`ll ask the guy in the store if he knows what firmware my machine has (he was pretty knowledgable and understood about region hacks, which isn`t always the case)

I would like to know what one4all model dockarl used though.

--------
Bought the One4All (URC 7560), but so far it hasn`t worked :(
I`ve followed the instructions to the letter, but will keep trying as others have said it may take quite a few attempts. Maybe I`ll strike lucky or maybe I`m just p***ing in the wind...
I`ll be keeping the new remote though :)


I hope Mike G gets a reply soon in his search for the Hitachi eeprom.
