Can you provide the exact and correct step-by-step flashing procedure for an LG drive BP55EB40 SVC Code EB52? The information is somewhat scattered across the forum, and it’s hard to figure out what exactly needs to be done.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply. Is there a possibility to make a backup of the original firmware of this Verbatim drive before flashing, in case I would like to restore the original firmware in the future?

I’m thinking about purchasing this model. Will it be suitable for playing back and ripping UHD discs, and which firmware does it need to be flashed with?

thanks, you are very helpful

Which svc code is recommended for flashing, and what is the best manufacturing date of the drive?

Ok, Thank you for the information and for your support.

I managed to flash it to version BD-RE BP55EB40 1.03 as you described, but unfortunately the disc tray still doesn’t open when I press the “eject” button.

The payment was probably disabled — too many orders and not enough drives.
