Ok, thanks Billy! Perhaps I'll risk a closer look...

Libredrive enabled may kill the the rip-lock of some drives, for the full reading speed. Otherwise it could be, that the drive is reading only up to about 2x.

Only question, no need of flashing tool right now, 'cause the drives are not mine (yet).

BDR-209BK (yes, not a MBK/DBK, only BK, prod. 2018) and BDR-209XJB (Prod. 2016)

Are the models known? Drive infos are not available.

The 209DBK is flashable to the 211M.

For my eyes both of drive information looks authentic.

Just test the 211UBK with a 4K disc?

Yeah, but I asking myself if they've developed this procedere by their own or perhaps it's copied / stolen from the originals?!

I don't know how difficult this is, even for a expierienced programmer.

Works perfectly, thank you very much!

I was able to buy a BDR-XS07TS surprisingly cheap.

I use the payed version of PowerDVD Ultra 23 and the Media Player Classic - Black Edition.

Ok, there're two possibilities in my opinion: 1. Get the drive out for a look to the modell. The save way. or 2. Blind trying the recovery mode with the SDF Flasher. In the first drop down menu use the BU40N firmware from the first flash and in the second drop down use the WH16NS60 1.02MK. In the we...

A few steps back: Do you know which drive the MakeMKV drive information has shown before the BU40N flash?

It's a LG drive in a Buffalo enclosure.

Check the third post here, perhaps it will help to get the drive out --> viewtopic.php?t=41293

As I thought. This is an older LG drive which can't be flashed and with the flash to the BU40N the drive is bricked, I think. You can try open the enclosure for the look to the sticker to find out the drive modell. Then try a flash with the native LG flashing tool for this modell if this tool is ava...

Once again, navigating the forum has been very tiring and time-consuming these last few days.

I assume you have the 5,25" Buffalo drive and not the slim USB drive and you've flashed the slim drive firmware to 5,25" drive I 've don't see yet a 4K flashable Buffalo enclosure which contains a 5,25" LG, so I don't think the recovery mode will help. Please show picture of the front...
