I've been trying unlock my Samsung BD-F5500 for all regions.I have tried opening the tray and changing the code from 2 to 9.When I go back in to the menu it shows 0. Current version of software 1022.0

Region codes can not be changed on all devices, and even on the ones that can, it can only be changed a few times.
This is to help prevent piracy of videos.
Computer programs exist to allow viewing of other regions on a computer, but this is a grey area of legality and can not be covered here on fixya.
You may do google searches if you wish to research on your own how region codes can be altered.

1) Turn on the player with no disc in the tray.
2) Open then close the tray, wait to see the No-Disc Message
in the top Left Corner.
3) Now press the REPEAT button on the remote, followed by a
five digit code. eg. 57538 if you have a region 2 player.
4) When it works a 2 (your current region) will appear in
the top left corner.
5) Press 9 to make it region less.
6) Press Eject to OPEN to open the disc tray.
7) Press Eject to CLOSE to close the disc tray.
8) Power the unit off
9) Now power the unit on again, it should now read all
regions of DVD/BD Disc.

Here is a list of all the region codes:

R1 - 29334
R2 - 57538
R3 - 56732
R4 - 76884
R5 - 53814

This is a fixed to a region player, however there are indications that it can be modified to become region free -you might want to read the write up at
DVD Hacks Samsung BD D5500 region code . Of course, usual caveat emptors apply.

Check in videohelp.com for suggestions.

The copyright protection seems to be embedded in the firmware and is tied into the whole system. I added a fan to my BD-E5900 and the extra draw of power on the board caused the copyright protection to not allow Blurays to play.

hi,
try the following

As I live in Kazakhstan my BD-C7500 is locked to DVD region 5. Just use the codes at the end of this tutorial for your own DVD region.

1. Ensure that there is no disk in the tray.

2. Switch the player on.

3. Wait until the main menu page appears and the player stops doing anything.

4. Press the REPEAT button - just above the TV channel selector at the bottom right of the controller - and enter 5 6 7 3 2 on the number pad.

5. The region code "3" should appear at the top left corner of the screen.

6. Quickly enter a "9" to make the player region free. (Just try pressing 9 on the remote controller until you see 9 appear in the upper left corner of your TV screen.)

7. Open and close the disc tray. Power down and power up again.

13. Play a foreign DVD to verify the change.

For people from other parts of the world, all region codes are as follows

1 - 2 9 3 3 4
2 - 5 7 5 3 8
3 - 5 6 7 3 2
4 - 7 6 8 8 4
5 - 5 3 8 1 4
ok

Below is a known process to unlock your region settings. Not 100% surefire.

1) Turn on the player with no disc in the tray
Wait till the unit is at the Samsung logo screen.

2) Open then close the tray, wait to see the No-Disc Message in the top Left Corner

3) Now press the REPEAT button on the remote, followed by a five digit code.
In this case Repeat 76884

Now it to me about 20 tries to get this to work, It needed to be done without delay.
So if you don’t get it to work straight away don’t loose heart.

4) When it works a 4 will appear in the top left corner

5) Press 9 to make it regionless.
6) Press Eject to OPEN to open the disc tray.
7) Press Eject to CLOSE to close the disc tray.

8) Power the unit off

9) Now power the unit on again, it should now read all regions of DVD Disc.

From other threads I got the follow list of region codes.

R1 - 29334
R2 - 57538
R3 - 56732
R4 - 76884
R5 - 53814
R6 - 24462

In this case Repeat 76884

Now it to me about 5 tries to get this to work, It needed to be done without delay.
So if you don’t get it to work straight away don’t loose heart.

4) When it works a 4 will appear in the top left corner

5) Press 9 to make it regionless.
6) Press Eject to OPEN to open the disc tray.

Region code hack posted by wasgo, September 17 2008:
I have tried the hack mentioned above on my new BD-1500 and couldn't make it work. But the software in it is about a month newer.
Does anybody have any new ideas how to solve the problem?
I have the region 2 version (Sweden)
