Re: Cross-flashed LG BP50NB40 (NB52) – UHD not reading, Blu-rays are fine

No, I'm not a bot. What a bot thing to say right? Nice pun! What confused you in Marty's instructions about flashing the BP50NB40 drive? What changes could be made to make it more clear? I really wish I could remember. I've tried to think about it over the last few days. Since whatever I was missin...

Re: Cross-flashed LG BP50NB40 (NB52) – UHD not reading, Blu-rays are fine

Clean your UHD disc or try a different disc. LG drives are not as good as Pioneer readers. No insult intended but are you a bot? Your question about firmware on the BP50NB40 has been asked and answered probably 50 times before and a bot may just use those postings to make a realistic question. &quo...

Re: Cross-flashed LG BP50NB40 (NB52) – UHD not reading, Blu-rays are fine

Yeah, I missed that too! This model must be cross-flashed to either BU40N or BP60NB10 to enable UHD readability (requiring 2 flashes). You have only completed 1 flash, which is the BP50NB40 1.03-MK firmware. This first flash removes the firmware encryption and does enable libredrive but this firmwa...

Re: Cross-flashed LG BP50NB40 (NB52) – UHD not reading, Blu-rays are fine

You missed a step when you were flashing the firmware as the drive is still utilising the BP50NB40 firmware. This firmware cannot read UHD discs. For slim/portable drives only the BU40N, BP60NB10 and Buffalo firmware variants can read UHD discs. Once it is flashed correctly the drive info panel in ...

Re: Cross-flashed LG BP50NB40 (NB52) – UHD not reading, Blu-rays are fine

I apologize if this isn't in the right spot. I've lurked all over these, but never posted until now. I recently purchased an LG BP50NB40 (SVC NB52) and cross-flashed it using SDFtool Flasher with the BU40N DE firmware. I ensured the bootloader was checked this last time and verified in LibreDrive t...
