 Region code hack posted by Kgbond, July 12 2017: | |||
Take a blank CD-R or CD-RW and burn the file "MontBlanc.dvd" in folder "Violet0000\Rubicon". On a CD-R or CD-RW will get the following structure "\Violet0000\Rubicon\MontBlanc.dvd", the name of the CD is irrelevant. File "MontBlanc.dvd" should contain 4 bytes of hexadecimal format, 17, 17, 8C, 00. Good luck. | |||

The method posted by Kgbond really works. Tested on LG BP450. Had to burn it with CD Burner XP in ISO9660+Joliet Level 1 mode. | |||

I tried that hacking method with my BP250 but it didn't work. The player automatically ejected the DVD without showing the region code page and prompted me to check the DVD. | |||

I downloaded a copy of MontBlanc.DVD from elsewhere and burnt it in the required folder structure to a CD-R (finalised) using CDBurnerXP and it correctly patched my August 2018 UK model BP250. | |||

Just unlocked dvd region on BP250 from Amazon.co.uk. Must use a CD (not DVD) and burn folder structure and file should be "MontBlanc.dvd". Used built-in CD burner on Win 10: insert CD-R, select type = dvd player, created folders and file, burned and finalised. Turned player on, insert disc, turn off, turn on, got the region menu. Press '0' and then pause (those instructions are on screen). | |||

This hack worked perfectly for me! Now our trusty LG is region free for DVD. Still locked for BluRay, but not an issue for us. Thank you so much. | |||

This works on an LG BP250 purchased in UK Feb 2019. But note following. My first attempt burning a data CD in Linux using Xfburn resulted in a disc which was recognized as a data disc, but with un-useable content. So hack failed. I burned again on a rewritable DVD (note those insisting only a CD will work!) in XP using Imageburner Portable (vers 2.4.4.0 (yes it's old!)) selecting ISO9660 + Joliet. That last bit seems important. | |||

1) Create a folder: Violet0000 2) Inside /Violet0000 create a subfolder: Rubicon 3) Download the MontBlanc.txt file here: https://www.avforums.com/attachments/montblanc-txt.873684/ 4) Save it in the Rubicon folder as a .dvd file called MontBlanc.dvd (note: DO NOT save it as a text file. Change the file extension. If you cannot see the file extension, select "All File Types" on the extensions tab of the download window) 5) Your folder stucture should be like this: /Violet0000/Rubicon/MontBlanc.dvd 6) Drag and drop the Violet0000 folder (/Violet0000/Rubicon/MontBlanc.dvd) to your prefered CDR burner software. 7) Insert the CDR into your player. A black menu screen will appear with the current region code and a place to select a new region code. Select 0 for universal region. PS.: If you can't download montblanc-txt file from the link above, try the link below: https://mega.nz/#!CQFz2TAK!1BO7aSN--BFL_sEhneyfVgiQ3ZUzHGinvlycQEvdmpw | |||

I used the MontBlanc region hack by Reghana upto 4) for newly bought LG BP250 I burnt a DATA CD disc using the standard DVD/CD burner on a Windows XP machine (no luck on Win7) and I did NOT close it. It worked perfectly! I now have a DVD region free(0)player (Blu Ray was already country settable) Note....I then tried the same Hack CD on a LG BD650 AND IT WORKED ON THAT TOO. | |||

The region code hack posted by tchiverton worked for me, I successfully patched an LG BP250 blu-ray player purchased in Italy, january 2021. Download the .zip from https://www.avforums.com/threads/make-lg- bp125-dvd-player-region-free.1717812/page- 3#post-26159056 Extract the .iso and burn to CDR (k3b on Linux is fine). Insert disk, turn DVD player off and on. Select 0, press pause. Anyway the first attempt to burn the iso on a CD RW with Nero Express didn't work, I had to burn it with CD Burner XP in ISO9660+Joliet Level 1 mode. | |||

I can confirm that the MontBlanc DVD hack still works on the LG UBK80 as of today (UK, region 2). I bought my player yesterday and burned the Mont Blanc CDR today. I tried it in the player and the screen to change region codes came up instantly. I pressed 0 as suggested and now I can play all my old region 1s. I just burned a CDR with the original instructions (download the MontBlanc text file, change the ending to .DVD, keep the directory structure as mentioned). It absolutely will work if you follow the instructions exactly (must be a writeable CD, not a DVD). I used the burner built in to Windows 10 without any problems. | |||

| Region code hack posted by Teddy Rosevelt, August 17 2022: | |||
Just giving the thumbs up saying the hack still works in August of 2022 in the UK. Hack being to download the Montblanc file and changing the filetype to .dvd instead of .txt putting it into a folder named Rubicon inside a folder named Violet0000 (so Violet0000/Rubicon/Montblanc.dvd) and burning it onto a cdr (I used CdBurnerXP) as a Iso DVD of files. Didn't finalise the disc (but this can probably be done as well). Popped it into the BluRay player and the menu popped up, changing the region from 2 to 0. And now Region 1 as well as the usual Region 2 dvds work. (BluRay's I don't know as I only have Region 2 BluRays but it's probably only for the dvd). | |||

The mega.nz download link from Reghana and the black screen advice from jqv worked great on a BP250 today. It did not work on a Mac superdrive, so had to use an old windows 10 laptop with external drive to burn the disk. Thanks everyone. | |||

I downloaded Reghana's mega.nz link as well. Worked well. Windows 11, no special software needed. My first disc burning after 14 years with Windows only so here are some additional observations too. Steps: 1. Insert empty disc in CD/DVD reader/writer. In my case I used a regular Maxell CD-R. 2. You may get a notification similar to this "BD-ROM Drive (X:) Select what happens with blank CDs.". Ignore this. 3. Open Windows File Manager (File/Windows Explorer). You should see your drive with the disc appear there after some time under "This PC". 4. Click your newly added drive icon in File Manager. There should be a dialog asking about two options: "How do you want to use this disc?" Option 1: "Like a USB flash drive". Option 2: "With a CD/DVD player". Select Option 2. Click Next. 5. You will see you disc with "Files Ready to be Written to to the Disc". You can do any changes here, they won't be written to the disc until you select the "Burn to disc" from step 7. 6. Unzip the Reghana's files and copy-paste all files. The root folder should be "Violet0000". Observe there is also Rubicon folder and under this folder there is MontBlanc.dvd file. 7. Now that you are 100% sure all files are there, over the File Explorer window press shift on the keyboard and secondary mouse button. This should bring up a context menu with many options. One of the menu options should read "Burn to disc". Select this. 8. The files will be permanently burned to disc now. No changes possible after this step. I selected the slowest writing speed too, just to be sure. After burning I wasn't sure about the file system. I checked it and the disc was burned with "UDF" file system. Then I inserted it in the LG BP250. And it worked! The "Region Management Test Mode" screen was displayed, selected 0 and selected pause. And that's it. Just to confirm that this works with UDF (no Joliet required) and regular/default hardware/software there is now. Note: If you somehow turn off the power with this disc in the LG BP250 and start again then a "No disc" or similar message may be shown. For this to work the LG BP250 should be in fully booted mode (with menus shown on screen). Only after the LG BP250 is fully booted up it will detect the the burned disc, not before. | |||

Sept 2024 followed the instructions from Rubicon successfully. The download from the first link on their comment did not work, but on the second link it did. The link for the file that worked was this one: https://mega.nz/#!CQFz2TAK!1BO7aSN--BFL_sEhneyfVgiQ3ZUzHGinvlycQEvdmpw On the CD-R the file route is Violet0000\Rubicon\MontBlanc.dvd It took a second for the BP250 to read it and then the black menu screen came up. Input "0" into the new region code line and press pause. The player is now region free 🌍 | |||
