Re: Attemping to flash LG BP55EB40 on macOS

Answering my own question - the solution was right here, around the corner: flashed the BP60NB10 1.00 Hybrid firmware to my BP55EB40 SVC: EB40 Very interesting. While I don’t use UHD disks, I‘m always interested in optimizing rip speed. Any noticeable improvement there? I usually get much more than...

Re: Attemping to flash LG BP55EB40 on macOS

Did anyone find a solution how to flash the LG BP55EB40 on macOS? I'm thinking about buying the same drive, so I just want to make sure it's possible first. It definitely is! Mike did some wonderful work with troubleshooting this problem and has updated the custom firmware since. Therefore, flashin...

Re: Attemping to flash LG BP55EB40 on macOS

This is not a latest sdf.bin from site. You have an ancient sdf.bin, probably swapped download or something. To be absolutely sure - download from this link http://www.makemkv.com/sdf.bin (should be the same file), then pass the file using -f switch. Your target is to see "found sdf v76" ...

Re: Attemping to flash LG BP55EB40 on macOS

Thanks a lot, mike, for your help! Love the work you're doing. It seems like all the SDF files load. I tested it with four different versions: 1) sdf.bin = downloaded from makemkv.com/svq/sdf.bin 2) sdf.070.bin = downloaded from this thread 3) sdf_0000006d.bin = extracted from appdata.tar (MakeMKV 1...

Re: Attemping to flash LG BP55EB40 on macOS

sdf_0000006d.bin is an obsolete sdf version. You have to use the latest one. As a matter of fact, that was the first step I took to isolate the problem. Still no dice: $ /Applications/MakeMKV.app/Contents/MacOS/makemkvcon f -d 'IOBDServices:ab2469af92270e3c:HL-DT-ST BD-RE BP55EB40 1.02' -f sdf.070....

Re: Attemping to flash LG BP55EB40 on macOS

You have to use the command -f to specify the SDF.bin file path. Thank you, but that doesn't do the trick. I run the command from ~ as my working directory, so sdf_0000006d.bin is in the same directory and therefore needs no path. Adding one doesn't change the error message: $ /Applications/MakeMKV...

Re: Attemping to flash LG BP55EB40 on macOS

As told, instead of "-f sdf_0000006d.bin" you must use the correct "HL-DT-ST-BD-RE_BP55EB40-NB50-1.01-NM00200-211711231626.bin" file (the exact name or version can now be different, I have only a older firmware package) for your drive from the Firmware package (downloaded by you...

Re: Attemping to flash LG BP55EB40 on macOS

You must use the file from the Firmware package to enable Libredrive that MakMKV can later load the Libredrive functions (SDF_xxx.bin) into the drive during startup. I see, thank you. Then how do I do that? By omitting the sdf-part from the command, therefore using only the following? /Applications...

Attemping to flash LG BP55EB40 on macOS

I'm using an LG BP55EB40 with MakeMKV and tried flashing its firmware to make it LibreDrive-enabled. Since its firmware is version 1.02 (bought it like this), it's not enabled out of the box. Using information found in this post (thank you!), I thought it should be pretty much straightforward. I hav...
