Well... it looks like my verbatim enclosure and/or USB cable (which was shipped with) doesn't handle USB3 very well/are defective - although new.
I tried and failed on 2 different laptops before.
I use a cheap cable, it was connected using USB2, and everything went fine.

I have not heard from anyone else having any issues using it.

I could read it there : viewtopic.php?p=196092#p196092
It was exactly same story, stuck at 48%
Looks like the LG 1.05 can't be applied on all Verbatim 43888-BU40N, for a reason I don't know.

If anyone is looking for the original BU40N 1.05 firmware, here is the official LG Updater exe. Does anybody have the original BU40N 1.05 firmware suitable for a Verbatim 43888-BU40N drive ? This one hangs at 48% and the drive is semi-bricked (stuck as boot). It can be reflashed first using DELL fl...

Thanks !!
I got same issue while trying to flash 1.05 as it was when I bought the burner.
I can confirm that DELL flashed was able to unbrick the drive
