DOWNGRADING BDP-S390, BDP-S490, BDP-S590.If you use SACD-R (raw ISO images burned onto DVD-R), Sony has recently removed support for this in their firmware. Users have also reported problems playing some files formats in recent firmware upgrades. To regain support, you will need to downgrade your firmware. Unfortunately, downgrading is not allowed by Sony.
However, the following method has been tested to work on BDP-S380, BDP-S480, BDP-S390, BDP-S490, and BDP-S590.Windows Instructions:Due to popular demand for a simpler process, now include 'EasyDowngrade.exe'. Extract all the files to a directory of your choice, and run this for a simpler downgrade process!. Download and extract to a folder of your choice. If you are using Chrome, you may need to press 'keep'. Download and extract the original Sony firmware that you want to install.
There should be a.ID and.BIN file in this folder. Run EasyDowngrade.exe. You may need to right click, properties, unblock if the file is blocked (since you have downloaded an executable from the internet).
Select the firmware file (the.ID file) you extracted and click Start. Agree to the message(s) if you understand and accept the risks. You will be prompted to press 'y' and enter twice. Make sure the dates & versions look sane.
The.ID and.BIN have been modified. Now you can burn these to a CD and insert it into your player to downgradeI haven't had many emails lately about downgrades, which hopefully means that this utility has been useful. If you have any comments or suggestions though, feel free to let me know!Manual Compilation/Non-Windows Instructions:Show instructions for.
EnvironmentFor compiling the code, I've tried it both on Ubuntu 10.04.4 with the built-in G compiler, as well as on Windows with Cygwin and g related packages , and on Windows with the DJGPP compiler. Whichever should be fine for just downgrading the firmware. The environment is not critical unless you are performing custom modifications. Whatever you have easily available should work.You will not need a hex editor. If you would like to use one to verify anything though, I would recommend HxD on Windows or ghex2 on Linux.Steps. Download either Windows binaries or source code.
For downgrading you don't need all of the source files, but it makes compiling simpler. Extract the Windows binaries, or unrar the source code (using WinRar on Windows, or ' tar -zxvf bdp-s390.tar.gz' on Linux) to a directory of your choice. Download the original Sony firmware that you want to install from (e.g. MSB11-FW.BIN into the same directory as above. Compile the code ( you can skip this step if you are using the Windows binaries):.
ON LINUX:Just run './rebuild.sh' and the code should compile. OR ON WINDOWS:You will need to compile lut2.cpp, modversion.cpp, and genid.cpp. If you use Cygwin or DJGPP or similar, this will look like:g lut2.cpp -O2 -o lut.exeg modversion.cpp -O2 -o modversion.exeg genid.cpp -O2 -o genid.exe(for DJGPP replace g with gxx)As long as these files are generated without errors, you should be fine.
First decode the ID file:lut D. MSB11-FW.BIN should now be ready for flashing your player.Recent Changes:. Modversion.exe was being detected as a virus by some virus scanners:. While I'm quite sure this was a false positive, I have recompiled modversion.exe using Visual Studio 2013 on, and it is no longer detected as a virus. Thanks to Martijn for letting me know.
EasyDowngrade updated to fix bug that file paths with spaces were mishandled.
