Got rid of the "enc" part of the command line. (My drive being quite new, I expected it to be firmware encrypted.) Viola! Screen Shot 2021-01-08 at 19.06.12.png So, it *IS* possible to firmware flash on a Mac (OS X.13.6), without a virtual/boot camp Windows. For the record, my drive was an...

Does anyone have any idea why?! I needed the full path to 'sdf.bin' /Applications/MakeMKV.app/Contents/MacOS/makemkvcon f -d /IOBDServices/82D49293 -f /Applications/MakeMKV/sdf.bin rawflash main,enc -i /Applications/MakeMKV/firmwares/DE_LG_BU40N_1.00.bin Viola… I thought. Despite getting a result o...

Extraction of sdf_0000006d.bin to my home directory

HOW did you extract sdf_0000006d.bin? I have sdf.bin. Replacing 'sdf_0000006d.bin' with 'sdf.bin' did not work.

6. On your new Windows installation open Edge and download all needed things for this method: https://www.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic ... 16&t=18873

There is nothing in the linked thread about "Edge." What is that "method?"

But anyway, for North America, you need to change ONE VLC preference. VLC is based in France. So, Preferences, Show All. Then Input Codecs. Click the Arrow to expand downward. Choose Access Modules. Click on BluRay. If in North America, choose Region A and Save. You can also click if you want your ...

i have bu40n(firmware BW42).

i try flash de 1.00 firware and mk 1.04 firmware. flash it

Are you asking what to do or announcing success at what you did?

Is there any way to extract / dump the stock BW42 firmware from my hp HLDS BU40N drive on a Mac (connected via an external USB3 enclosure) before I flash downgrade it? Is there a real need for the stock firmware? Contact Mike Admin. He may want a copy of that firmware. If he can extract it remotely...

The v1.00 is also very good firmware to use with this drive. Version 1.00 supports DVDfab which us a bonus. Asmcom :D Does DVDFab work with 1.03 MK? DVDFab is the APP I use, as all I want is a whole disc copy. (I have no interest in compression, reformatting to a different ratio, etc., which most a...

I have an early macbook pro 2011. I took out the optical drive at the time and replaced it with a 2nd hard drive. Now that i'm backing up my collection, I was thinking of throwing in an internal optical drive. I was looking at the supported drives on p. 1 of this thread and saw the bu40n, a 9.5mm d...

Even though 1.03 MK is for an LG BU40N and mine is an HP BU40N with a 3.10 firmware? I am not willing to brick the drive on an experiment. And I am unable to save/extract the stock firmware as almost all utilities, instructions, and applications are for Windows/PC.

For further clarification: Specs from MakeMKV: Drive Information Manufacturer: hp HLDS Product: BDRE BU40N Revision: BW42 Firmware date: 2117-11-29 16:55 Bus encryption flags: 1F LibreDrive Information Status: Possible, not yet enabled Drive platform: MT1959 Specs from Mac system report: BDRE BU40N ...

I just received a BU40N bare drive which I put into a generic external enclosure. It is connected to a MacBook Pro. The drive reports Manufacturer: hp HLDS; Version: 3.10. From reading, I conclude that this is the BU40N/P (HP) version. Being on a Mac, I cannot use most of the described flashing meth...
