Hello, longtime lurker, first time poster ;) I also saved one of these drives from a machine which was being WEEEd - MFD is June 2015 so I presume it'll still be on the original FW (S/N begins 0FDL017). I presume this will also need a firmware patch? Also if there are tools for dumping FW for these...

My SDFtool flasher v1.3.5 does not show the option to select enc

Is there another version of the program?

It is selected. The green check mark at "Encrypted firmware". You have no idea what you were doing and should't have it done the first place.

My BDR-212V arrived and is connected up. I can't PM yet. May I please trouble you to send me the information.

Thanks

Will do so.

Thanks Billy, you are correct that I did try the official LG BU40N encoder in my futile attempt to salvage this and can see that I have made it worse.. I apologise for my ignorance but how do I downgrade to BU40N 1.03MK with enc ? I don's see this as an option in SDFtool Flasher. Do I need to use a...

Does the Hardware Type (or Hardware Rev) e.g., SAT 8601 or SAT 8800 remain the same after flashing? Is that a reading from a chip at the hardware level? How can I know for sure its a fake? Does this mean it also probably wasn't really manufactured this year? Details only via PM regarding firmwares....

Also the sticker on the back is perfect (flawless).

A 209 can't be crossflashed to 212 and vice versa. Return it and order another one.

​ ​Subject: Confusion Over Drive Firmware on New BDR-212V Hi, I purchased a new BDR-212V from Amazon Warehouse on Sunday, knowing it was a returned item. According to Amazon, it was returned within 30 days, and the manufacturing date (2024) aligns with this timeline. I installed the drive into a 5....

But the sleep bug is not that bad to recover from you really do just open close the tray You may have a different problem Maybe but then I don't see what else it can be. My symptom is that when a disk (not necessarily UHD) is left idle in the drive for 2 minutes, the drive stops responding. Can't r...

Forget it. You haven't read in detail. You need to do the DOSFlash procedure with the firmware that was posted there. If successful you can take further flashing steps w/o DOSFlash. Good luck.

Are you sure you followed the instructions by the book? And no disc in drive and tray closed? AhhhhhhI'm an idiot. I initially read your DM about removing the disk but forgot when I got around to actually flashing it. Calm down. Others did that before and called themselves the same. Until now I had...

Firmware date: 2012-08-22

isn't that usually a problem with UHD?

No. The limitation exists only with LG / ASUS drives. A 208 has capable hardware.
