BD Playback STILL Prohibited

**CarvinDC125** · 11-02-2011,10:38 PM

On my cecha01. I still cant get bd playback after leaving otheros++. I did FTP with multiman and allowed dev_blind. I got into the BDPLAYER file, I also got into everything else....but I have no clue what I need to be doing....So I havent really touched anything yet....Does anyone have a clue as to how we get BD Playback to work on otheros++ Special after you leave it then return?

Hm, what's the last BD you played before losing playback?

I have only ever played two BDs on the system. The Newest Xmen, and Dispicable Me. Xmen was the BD that got playback the first time. I got a message before the movie loaded stating the BD system had been updated etc..... But it has failed to work after leaving otheros++ and coming back....Which is strange because I thought otheros++ bypassed the checkoff....which means either something is cached and its not bypassing or there is a different issue other than the checkoff thats producing the bd playback error.
I saw in a debug machine the option to format the system cache....this might work but that option is not in the debug settings of a retail machine....Which I am wondering if its possible to convrt my machine to a debug machine and fix bd playback that way.

X-Men First class? If my google skills are good, that one was released in september?
You have the same problem as me then. You used a too recent disc, that revoked the 3.55 BD player software, which means the only way for you to recover BD playback is to update to 3.7x. And I'm not 100% sure even that will work.
And no, converting to a debug machine would only make the problem worse, debug machines aren't allowed to run BD movies at all.

EDIT : Now that I think about it, it seems that you will get this issue after using a recent BD AND reinstalling firmware. This could have to do with the BDPrevoke package on the PUP, but I don't know if it's a good idea to patch it out of a MFW.
EDIT 2 : I just got an idea on how to restore BD playback, I will test it later today if I can. Might be a bit costy however, it will involve replacing the BD logic board. I had a bought a spare one of those before thinking I could fix BD playback with it, and maybe I can do this with OtherOS++. I also think Mark Webber said BD playback will be broken again if you leave OtherOS++ because that BDPrevoke file in the firmware is what screws things up.

OOOO I see. Well if your idea is just swapping the logic board it wont work.....I swapped mine with a BM-006 and a dual lens drive....it didnt work, although now I have a CECHA01 with a dual laser setup. Now I dont mind patching this BD PREVOKE file, hell I might try that, but it seems my MFW builder doesnt have that option Anyway let me know what you find out.....at least this is making more since now....I feel a little better im not the only one too.

Would you happen to know the name of the bdprevoke file? Maybe we can delete it with FTP then downgrade with a dongle to 3.15 which would replace all the BD files and firmware then upgrade back to other os++ Or like you said we might be able to patch it....What do you think?

Ok, you don't even need a blu-ray logic board.
I restored BD playback without switching logic board, I simply used a PUP that has BDPrevoke removed.
The feature to remove this on PS3MFW is "Allow firmware update with broken blu-ray drive". Tick this, there are 2 options "Remove BD firmware" and "Remove BDPrevoke". Tick only Remove BDPrevoke. Patch PUP and install.
I'm on OtherOS++ right now though, but it works. Now I'm switching back to patched Cobra CFW with removed BDPrevoke.

EDIT : Playback prohibited again after going back to Cobra CFW with BDPrevoke patched... time to investigate a bit more though.

Ugh... bad news.
I found out which is the patches that "fixes BD playback". It doesn't fix it, it basically just disables the error message.
And the patch is... Allow access to all SS services. That's right, the patch that breaks trophies. So Mark Webber's fix wasn't really a fix after all.
It could work but you'd have to install SS enabled firmware everytime you try to watch a BD, and reinstall other firmware when you're done watching.
There could be other workarounds but it would require coding an app or something.

It works definitely on OtherOs++ Firmware or Rebug Firmware. Only problem, after using Multiman you have to restart to watch a BluRay.

And you can't run a game (original or backup) without running Multiman
