[Solved] Samsung BD-D8500 country firmware

[julianbb]

You shoud ask before change-it.
Emitrasca reported same problem when change from XU to ZF ...but he manage to change-it back after a cold start (pull out plug and leave-it 1 minute)
So DON'T DO THAT !!! It seems are hardware differences.
If the reason was time zone and country settings go and change PANEURO with NORDIC or viceversa

I think yes , can be changed BUT , better FIRST make some photo of mainboard ,Hdd label and connector on the board to see if is a standard SATA interface (pins and chip model )

This will help other users of similar models (including me) to install internal HDD

Nice...
Don't forget to post some pictures of electronic board !!! Especialy SATA connector area.
Thanks

Thanks a lot, Julian, I made as you said and I rooted the device, D8500M/XU and PANNORG zone and running fine, time zone correct. )
