[Solved] Samsung BD-D8500 country firmware

[emitrasca]

If someone could help me :
I ordered Samsung BD-D8500M/XU from Amazon UK to East Europe, firmware upgrade to 1007, my unit doesn't support time zone shift because is 2 hour difference
between EPG and local time.
Present FW also doesn't have any other country choice but UK and Ireland.

Where to get any other country firmware version and how to downgrade FW?
I try from Samsung.de available also same FW number 1007 and it fails to install from USB with error "no update availble"

Thanks in advance!

In menu service on the COUNTRY OPTION it is no option to change to something else .

Try first to change model(in service menu) D8500 / ZF ,this version work for me ...for country select "others" (no usl please )
After change pull the plug for 10-20 seconds for a cold start...

Thank you for your response, but because of rush I made a stupid mistake,
enter Service Menu
change to D8500/ZF
unplug for 20 seconds

I forgot to change country to others and now is not working anymore

Is there hope for repaire what I damage ?
Could not see rusamsung TV comunicator to enter again in service menu !!!!

power up and try pressing "exit" for 20 seconds ... this is a reset function
Did you change other values in SM by mistake ?

After 10 min not response at all, blu-ray appear the menu, For the moment I think is recovered, search chanels for France did not find any channel, after 1 min of search restarts by itself, again slow reponse time .
I manage to enter Service Menu again : in country option do not let me change anything apears nothing, only can change region from PANEURO to else ??
For the moment I try to change it back if I could .

Something is wrong... put back original model and POWER OFF FROM REMOTE first and then unplug device for cold restart
If device still slow make a "factory reset"
Then should be ok...
Make pictures off all menus/submenus of SM let's study first and then will see whats wrong ...this shuld'nt happent...

Everything is back after reverse to BD-D8500M/XU, I have to say I change only this on the service menu.
I was scared a little .
Here is picture of option in service menu , if that could help.

Hmm... you have a diffrent tuner(dual) then mine (single sec_tc) and also Ch Table at mine is SESK and at yours is ...none...
Could you try to see only what values you have available at Ch Table field without changing ?
BTW make pictures of ALL menues/submenus ... My firmware is 1006 and could be different
