LG GSA-4167B Region Free

[Zoot]

Hello People,
Does anyone know how I can get Drive region V2.2 to display 'THIS DRIVE HAS NO REGION PROTECTION'? I have two lives left. Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Zoot.

Firmwares in beta, the newest of the new. ** HIGHER RISK **

Thanks for the information but my firmware version is not listed. I have DL10.

Yes dl10 would be an older version

dl11/12 will give your more media compatibility and region free

LG HL-DT-ST GSA-4167B
Auto Reset and RPC1 Firmwares - DJ11 Windows (RPC1 and Auto-Reset), DL11 Windows (RPC1 and Auto-Reset), and DL12 Windows (RPC1 and Auto-Reset).

Thanks for the link.. couple of quick related questions:

1) Do you have to install the official firmware from the LG site before updating it to the corresponding RPC1?

2) My writer is the LG GSA-4167BAL, but I can't find the "AL" on any of the refs on LG's site (or any other site!) Can I still use the B firmware?

Thanks.

Colour Black

doubt if the firmware will know the difference

Hehe awesome, thanks Chewy - I was hoping as much :)

I'm just about to flash the drive (first time I've had off work!) wish me luck..

it's simple, standalone master on secondary,
never during electrical storm
I prefer safe mode
at least shut down extras running in background
no disk in drive

and last but not least!

Just got one of these units. set it to Master on secondary Channel , What if your dont have a secondary Channel ??? IE Intel D856PERL with only a single ATA channel & SATA. I assume the primary will work but just want to make sure

Yes, confirmed earlier with another poster somewhere long ago and far away.
