Re: HP BU40N firmware flashing

Okay, my drive was flashed successfully when I ignored the error. After being flashed, it isn't bricked and rip UHD discs smoothly, which means it's good, isn't it?

Re: HP BU40N firmware flashing

Of course I did, the "enable Internet access" box was checked by default. The drive is connected into SATA connection directly because my main PC is a laptop and I swapped the stock DVD slim drive for the BU40N one. And I'm currently using Windows 10 64-bit.

Re: HP BU40N firmware flashing

Yeah I didn't change anything when installing MakeMKV. Also the drive tray was closed and no disk was inside when I plugged it in through direct SATA connection and opened the tool. I'm using the latest Windows 10 build, installing the latest MakeMKV version from the website.

HP BU40N firmware flashing

Hello everyone, totally a newbie here. Quick question, is the HP BU40N drive "just" the LG BU40N with HP label? If the answer is "yes", that means I could flash my drive using the ultimate guide to unlock UHD Blu-ray ripping, right? Here's the specs of my drive: Model: BU40N (S05...
