Samsung BDD5500
Just managed to unlock my player, I can now play DVDs from all the regions. I
followed the following steps. Thanks to whoever discovered it first:
================================================
==========
Firstly, you must start entering the code just after the "No Disk" message is
shown and before the message disappears.
Secondly, the REPEAT key is part of the code. All six keys must be entered
smoothly as "REPEAT 57538". The entry gets timed out so you can't stop in
the middle and restart. Don't bash away like crazy, just do it smoothly and
briskly.
If you don't see the "4" the first time, don't worry. Just repeat the process. It
took me about a dozen tries before I got it to work.
I can't guarantee that this player does not have a region change counter so I
would be a bit careful about changing regions back and forth. I also can't
guarantee that this will work with all released firmware. Samsung seems to
take this crazy region bastardry very seriously for some reason.

This method described above does not work on the BD-D5500, the remote, it does not have the repeat button.
Hi,
You can modify it again to a specific region from e.g. 9 (region free) if you use
the desciption above and then the same number code for your former region
(as it is pre-set, for Europe 2). The actual region set appears in the right
corner again and then you can enter the region which you want.
I think that the hack should work for all Samsung BD-D-models.
Ciao
3. When the main menu appears, press the REPEAT button followed by the region code your player is currently
locked to - depending on which country you are in (eg: in the UK press "REPEAT 5 7 5 3 8".
4. In the top right corner you will see your region code flash (eg: 2 for UK).
5. Press 9.
How this differs from the opening post is no need to open and close the disc tray.
So, after pressing REPEAT please enter one of the followig codes the matches your current region lock:
1 2 9 3 3 4 (US)
2 5 7 5 3 8 (Europe)
4 7 6 8 8 4 (South America)
6 2 4 4 6 2 (China)
9 - Region Free

I just bought the Samsung BD-D5300 and I see from the several posts that the region code hack was supposed
to be the same as the BD-D5500.
As stated by andrestao, the remote control that came with my device was the ak59-00123A which does not have
the "REPEAT" button.
I was able to unlock mine using the same sequence mentioned in this post, substituting the "REPEAT" button by
the "STOP" button. I hope this helps.
3. When the main menu appears, press the STOP button (the regular one with the square drawn on it) followed
by the five digits code of the region your player is currently locked to. (eg: if it's locked to region 4, this code is
7 6 8 8 4)
5. Press 9.

Well, checking some of the disks...I see that the real problem
is not the region of the disks...the player can not play "PAL"
dvds...
The reported hack works for me. In Australia, bought the Samsung BD D5500 early September 2011 at Harvey
Norman and remote has the REPEAT button.
With SMART off switch off and on. I tried not opening and closing the tray but the No Disc message appears in
the middle in a text box if you select the "Play Disc" options icon - does not work.
Open the tray and close (may work if other screen such as Freeview?)
"Loading" appears top (I thought right not left but no matter it was white text in a black box at the top of the
screen) of the screen.
Do not look at machine front display as it does all happen fast and I couldn't time it this way.
"4" appears in the black box - press 9 and this box changes to 9
I took three goes to get the button pressing timing at the right speed. I pressed 9 as a continuation of the code do not pause and try to see what is happening.

i bought samsung BD-D5500 uk tried the mentioned code method but no way it didn't respond at all ,is te
problem that it updated to 1016.2 firmware??? any help with this please, even though i managed to region free
my other blu-ray player samsung 5300 with no time and easly.
Thanks
I used the code 76884 took a few goes but it worked for multi region DVD, it does not however work for Blue
Ray, I am still stuck with US and European Blue-ray movies that I can not play.
I bought my D5500 in Canada and tried the following. I first bought a UK remote that has the Repeat button.
Trying the repeat hack with the stock N. American firmware 1015 did not work. I then downloaded the UK
firmware and installed on the unit. This was the 1018 release. I was very patient and tried many times but
nothing happened. The UK remote works fine in every other respect with my Canadian player.
I notice that the common denominator for all those that the hack works for is PAL TV. I think the N. American
players lack a built in PAL to NTSC converter so nothing will work.

I've tried the two possible roads here but none worked... I
got the Samsung BD-D5500 (3D "Smart")a few weeks ago, it came
with the remote AK59-00125A which does include the button
"REPEAT" and the 1016.2... Before checking on possible hacks,
I did the upgrade of the firmware to the 1018.x; since it did
not work, I assumed it had something to do with the upgrade
and managed to change the machine over warranty, and got a new
one, still with the 1016.2 firmware; I've tried the hacks on
this one as well, still no upgrade, still no luck! Any ideas?
I got this one in Denmark therefore it is locked to Region 2.
The procedure seems not to work with the Samsung BD-D5500 3D Smart which has the remote AK59-00125A
with the "REPEAT" button. Any ideas tomake it work?
I have the Samsung BD-D5500 3D Smart which has the remote AK59-00125A with the "REPEAT" button.
Australia. I also had trouble initially trying to get any of the afore mentioned hacks to work - could not get any
result at all. Nothing happened on screen or off; no reaction. I then decided to reset the unit back to factory
defaults by pressing and holding down the STOP button on the unit, not the remote, and following the onscreen
prompts. Once this was done I attempted the hack again and was rewarded with immediate results with
onscreen indication just as described. Many thanks!

I used the instructions from outoftheknow and they worked immediately, however all dvd's from Japan can only
be watched in black and white.
I have an old TV but have not had a problemwith any of the other dvdplayers i have had.
Does anyone know why a colour change may occur? Is it the TV or the dvd after region hack?
For those in Malaysia, and maybe in a few Asean countries wanting to change their Samsung BD-D5500 to play
DVDs from all regions, you can crack it by
1. Eject Tray
2. Close Tray
3. Once you see the 'No Disc' popup at the top-right hand corner, quickly press the button 'Repeat' followed by
the numbers 56732 (pressing them while the popup is visible-not after)
4. Once you see the a number '3' appear at the top-right hand corner, quickly press the number 9 (while the
number is visible)
Do NOT update the rom! Samsung sneaks in a new copy protection scheme without telling you..it cuts the audio
out here and there on newer movies; their own virus.
One thing I've seen mentioned is that there is no PAL > NTSC converter in the Samsung models and this is true.
What's peculiar is that they HAVE included a 1080i50 > 1080i60 converter in these players, which means on
discs from the UK (Blu-ray) that are encoded at 1080i50 and not region locked all these Samsung players can
play them. LG and Oppo players also play them. Panasonic, Sony, Sharp, Pioneer, Denon, Marantz, Yamaha,
none of these other guys will play them.
If you have a region locked BD then one way to get around it is to buy a burner and some 50GB blanks which
are a bit expensive, but you should be able to find a burner + 20 blanks for around $150 online.
I have a couple 1080i50 Blu-ray Discs in my collection that play perfectly on my Samsung, don't even load up on
the Sony. An Idiot Abroad Seasons 1 + 2 is region free 1080i50. The new Radiohead "Live from the Basement:
The King of Limbs" is also 1080i50 and region free.
