Re: Billycar11 Selling Flashed Pioneer UHD Drives USA only, Remote Flashing,Tested & Makemkv Discount Code

Drive arrived safely, tested it briefly and everything seems to work correctly. Thanks Billy! I thought he was still testing the firmware? Are they available to buy now? They are, he announced it a few posts ago. Driver works fine on linux and seems to do anything I want it to, but I did have troub...

Re: Billycar11 Selling Flashed Pioneer UHD Drives USA only, Remote Flashing,Tested & Makemkv Discount Code

Thanks for the heads up of having plenty of inventory, Billy. I do absolutely plan on buying at least one. I've had two BU40Ns, one went bad (people's newer posts make me think the Vantec enclosure might be related?), other one's still living for now. I take it pioneers tend to not have longevity is...

If you really want one now, use a shipping forwarder. I'm waiting for Billy's shipment. I think one of his posts might have said something about being willing to swap drives, once he has more?

Re: BU40N Drive Flash failed mid flash, bricked?

I did read the guide, as far as I could tell there isn't anything wrong with using 1.00DE on an originally 1.04, only that you must flash 1.03MK first, if that's incorrect then my understanding is mistaken. I went from stock 1.04 to 1.03MK then to 1.00DE. I did that somewhere around a month ago and ...

Re: BU40N Drive Flash failed mid flash, bricked?

That's what I initially did to fix it, version 1.04 failed mid way through, putting it in this state. I've had it work before, so I'm not familiar with what's usually done if and when that happens. Trying to run it now doesn't work due to it detecting the SVC code wrong. If anyone knows that it *is*...

BU40N Drive Flash failed mid flash, bricked?

Hi, I've had a working BU40N drive on DE firmware for a few months, but it suddenly stopped spinning up discs and would just appear to spin them slowly a few times and then quit. I tried to flash it to stock and then back to 1.04.MK and back to 1.00DE, but midway through flashing it to stock it fail...
