The Firmware Page

I got a auto-reset firmware. But after reflashing my DVD drive and rebooting my computer , nothings seemed happend and it is still region 6(previous one)
with another 4 times to be changed ?

read the FAQ concerning the difference between autoreset and RPC1 firmwares

I read it and now I fully understand how they work.
But I am still kinda confused about 2 questions:
1)
The auto-reset stuff only works in Windows and gets the region code and times-left reset to the condition you started your Windows this time and since via VMWare virtual machine the firmware update is banned , it which sadly leads to the result that if i changed my region code in Mac OS X and then reboot my computer into windows, the region code would be already changed and the auto-reset will actually do nothing to change things back.
2)
I've found out that VLC player for Mac OS X can no longer access the data as it was mentioned before and there's no solution under OS X now for me.

Thanks a lot by the way for being so patient..

the AP12 is an apple update, and thus should run the autoreset function with the mac environment as well as windows

Change the region as you would with an unpatched RPC2 drive. The firmware autoreset patch takes care that the drive does not remember these changes, so after the next reboot the drive is as it was before the change. In case your Mac does not reset the drive while rebooting, power the drive off/on to get the old state.

but what I got is only an .exe file which could only be applied in Windows. Could you provide an firmware auto-reset which could be used in OS X leopard . Thanks. The dvd is LG GSA-S10N AP12

thanks anyway. But my problem is that I need an auto reset programme which can be ran in OS X rather than in Windows. The .exe file I got did work in Windows but it would not solve my problem since I only use leopard to wath DVD and thus would need to change region code.

yes, you apply the patched firmware in a windows environment, then use it within OS X Leopard, are you saying that the function does not work within the leopard operating system?

no it won't work.

let's say that my region now is 1 with 3 change time left and i am using leopard to watch a region 2 dvd . I change my region code to 2 and the change time left would be only 2. After watching the dvd, i reboot my computer into windows xp . at this time running the auto reset stuff will not do anything because after applying it and rebooting the computer, the region code would still be 2 will 2 change times left.

The only condition in which the auto reset patch would work is that i use windows to watch my dvd and change my region code under the windows condition. after watching it, run the patch and reboot the computer.

Thus, it seems that there's no such a way that would help me "auto reset" if I would change my region code in leopard rather than in windows.

The patch/firmware only needs to be installed once.

Thanks a lot.

I don't know why last time it didn't work,but I tried again and it is ok now.

Some software can disguise the true features of the drive/firmware installed.

I am looking for the equivalent firmware to fix the Region code on my DVD Driver which is LG GSA-S10N on an Apple MacBook with OS X. Any assistance welcome. Thank you for your time and energy.

A driver is pure software.
