HD-DVD Firmware links for all models - Page 3

Got my 3.0 too... is there a list/thread discussing the update? I always like to read through that before pulling the trigger, to make sure that I'm going to be happy with the results.

My A-1 has 2.0 (?) on it right now and has been working great for over a year. I'm hesitant to mess with it... unless I'm going to get something cool.


EDIT: Duh. Right here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1024012

I must be blind.

there was any firmware for the Toshiba HD-E1 read HD DVD-R discs, as with which I have since the 2.9 is not me playing the media.

[quote=N8YWF;13799699]The hex change is the same on the A2, A20 and XA2.

Open up the ISO in HxD and edit 0A8C (2700) to something higher than 0AF1 (2801). For example you could use 0AF2 (2802).



I am new to this, and before doing any editing, i want to be sure i know exactly what you are saying.

I have a Hex editor, and have downloaded the 2700 version of software for the A2. Now are you saying i need to edit all occurrances of the 0a8c or just the first one?

[quote=MauiGuy;13963256]
Just the first one. If you use HxD then edit the blue highlighted spot shown in the picture.

Thank you. Will give it a try.

I managed to succcessfully downgrade the A2 to 2.7. However, my problems remain.

Ever since I upgraded to 2.8 from version 2.7 the A2 will not play any standard definition DVD. It will start then freeze after about five minutes. Then it will continue to play and freeze again.

I had hoped reverting back to 2.7 would fix that problem but it has not. The problem only appears while playing any standard def video. An HD DVD will play flawlessly.

Any Ideas?

Why the hell did they ever add the resume feature? Why was it never there to begin with?

Are there any firmware for A2 player which will make my player region-free and will allow me to play PAL DVDs?
Will be thankful for the link!

Try this one...

I may have missed it here somewhere, but has there been any firmware updates for the HD-A3 to correct the hanging on the welcome screen?

My backup player is an HD-A3 and I checked to see that it worked, but it will hang at Welcome about every other time I turn it on.

So what happened to all the rumoured A35/A30/Ep35/E30 etc multi-region firmware hacks?

For A-30 owners - Toshiba has available on line the latest firmware upgrade, 3.0. It has not appeared on the web download site, but if you have an ethernet connection and a hight speed connection, it takes about 10-15 minutes. There are 38 items in the upgrade to be download as a 51MB file.

Thanks for the alert!

Have there been any reports on what improvements or changes were made with Version 3.0?

read all the discussion in this board but after getting the iso to begin downgrading my a2 which is at 2.8 now i get aerror when updating says error 2007 any ideas on what to do ?

the error code from the A2 is error 2007c00f. Before getting the new A2 download I have made many more drink coaster then I need so when I finally made one that was accepted by the dvd player I was estatic. then after 3-4 minutes this eror appeared. I have a lot of tv shows from the UK that i like to watch and had a old dvd/vhs combo that was unlocked , boy was i glad when I moved up in life and got a HDDVD only to see toshiba cave . so it works great as is with my regular dvd collection but I really could use the advatage of a pal player....any aussie help for a us noob

Is the "jaggies" problem with firmware 2.8 and 3.0 for the XA2 only for HD-DVDs or for upconverted SD-DVDs as well?

Anybody get this to work for downgrade from firmware 3.0 on a A3?

After reading all of this, I dont think I want to update my A3. I mean, everything looks fine like it is. Could someone tell me what the benefits would be? I just dont want to run into problems when I dont have any now.

Do someone know/how if I can use the A35 FW 1.100 to downgrade the european EP35 (FW 3.003)?

Anyone know what the stamps/area in the hex editor for the A3 firmware to take it back to 1.3 from 3.0? I'm trying to downgrade because 3.0 is causing major skipping in my A3. Is it the same for the other firmware that's been discussed in this thread?

Thanks!

Thanks! I must have completely missed it in my other searches =)

4.0 ??

What happened and when ?

What's up with the different file names? I doubt Toshiba would make a rollback firmware. It must be just renamed to the disc part numbers? I do like a good conspiracy theory.

Can anyone who updated their A-30 confirm that they can actually get 1080p output? Mine is set to 1080p in the settings, but always lights up 1080i. I was able to get 1080p24 prior to this new firmware... (although it had jaggies for AVC).

If it works, let me know if you used the firmware found on first page of this thread, or if you downloaded it via the player over the internet.

Edit: Figured it out. 1080p24 works great on the A-30. I'm using an hdmi powered splitter which doesnt seem to want to accept 1080p24 from the A-30, but does from PS3.

Was it the A2 or the A3 player that is compatible to the Venturer player? Does the toshiba provided firmware work or do I need venturer firmware?

If a small note about this was in the first post be very helpful

Edit: I found the answer myself I believe:

Venturer HD DVD SHD7000 uses the identical fw as the Toshiba HD-A3

looking for the updated 1.6 downgrade iso for the hd-a2 above.

the link appears to be broken.
