hi everyone i got one of these dvd recorders 6mths ago from walmart - worked well and i even managed to run the mr wizard hack and remove the macrovision/region free/3hr recording option etc. - but it bust recently and i took it back for a new one. I run the hack again and this time everything is hacked apart from the macrovision - can anyone help me with this please i have a ton of vhs i need to burn to dvd before i move - thanks!
AS said, the new units can not be hacked The firmware is different However some users have reported success in going back to a previous firmware that can be hacked. Check the Forums You could always use a MV removal accessory unit [I don't put much stock in them]
You need to install older firmware ... 0098 or older ... one possible problem with that is your machine may have trouble recognizing newer media ... Note: I was given an older LVW5005 that would no longer record or load discs ... I'm gonna put a SOHW 1693S drive into it ... I'll let you know how it turns out
thanks so much - please let me know what to do - ill even paypal u i really want this machine to do macro - i have a load of vhs i need to move over to dvd b4 i move - thanks!
Here is the newest firmware that is hackable ... already hacked for macrovision removal and it also gives you 3hr record speed You need to download this file: US-LVW5005hacked - Firmware/11-Feb-2006 Get it here: http://www.pumapeople.com/liteon/ good luck to you .. let me know how it worked
hi before i do that is there a way i should remove the old upgrade that i tried - remember i got the dvd recorder - and used the mr wizard ILO hack this managed to make the system region free and added the 3hr option but didnt give me the macrovision can i just use the same mr wizard program with that file that you have provided? thanks again for your help catfreak!
The Mr Wizard hack is included in that file ... you run that file and it will backdate your firmware and give you 3hr and no macro ...
thankyou so much catfreak! it worked! please let me know how much i owe you - i have paypal you can send me an invoice for your troubles! Thanks very much again!
Kiss the prettiest girl you can get your lips on ... that's all the thanks I need! ... just happy that I could be of some help to ya oh, and edit that e-mail off of your post before a mod sees it ...
